So Jeff is away at week 1 of 3 training sessions for the summer. This week is AP Calculus in lovely Wooster, Ohio. Week 2 is AP Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon. And culminating in the uber exciting Week 3 in Texas (because that is where Texas Instruments is located - duh) for his training on the wet-your-pants exciting TI Inspire calculator.
I will be tirelessly caring for two kids in single parent fashion for these weeks (I have to make this sound good as I am milking this for all the scrapbooking time I can during the off weeks). Day 1 went well - no major meltdowns (a minor one when dinner was too slow getting to the table for Brooke's liking but nothing a little pizza couldn't fix) and everyone slept well (a big shout out to whatever company manufactures Benadryl).
So I promised Jeff I would post some pictures from the day after the kids were in bed (I realize this is now Day 2 but technically it is still "after the kids went to bed" on Day 1).
Ready for our delicious lunch of Boca Burgers on the deck:
Brooke enjoying lunch (and just as proof that she really did eat the Boca Burger there is a little piece on her cheek):
Who does Isabel miss? YOU DADEEEE!!!
Swinging in the 90 degree heat - does it get any better?
You bet!! Pull out the fish sprinkler!! Brooke LOVED it - Isabel wouldn't go near it but very much enjoyed being swung through it by mommy but since mommy is all alone (see "milking it" noted above) she couldn't take any pictures of that:
And let's end with this shot of children running topless around the yard. I'm expecting the call from CPS any minute:
Hi Sam, the kiddos look so cute, especially the swing picture. I need to see if Edda'll eat a Boca burger. Haven't tried it before..
