Made it through the week!

There are some weeks I just am glad we made it through and had a weekend with fun, family and friends.   These are our reward!   

I traveled with work to Atlanta for Monday and Tuesday, therefore that means Jimmy was on single Daddy duty.    I tell the girls all the time how wonderful he is by spending time with them and helping take care of them.  I want them to fully grasp that not all Dad’s are like theirs and he is treasured!    I want them to understand the role of a husband and father is not just going to work to help provide so they get nice things.   I while I am gone I miss them terribly!   

My biggest reward is walking in to two sweet girls who almost tackle me as they scream “Mommy” and a husband who is eager for me to be home to do this life together daily!    These are the best moments!  

I had to chuckle when I looked on our dry erase board.  Tuesday is cleaning day!  This is one of those life balance things for us that when I decided to go back to work when Gracie was a baby we decided part of that budget would include someone to help with the house.   It is a huge blessing to us and I don’t take that for granted.   

Maggie had our first scissor issue, yes almost 7 years as parents and we have not worried about clothes, hair or other fatalities with scissors...until now.  When Jimmy picked Mags up one day this week there was a nice note “Maggie cut her shirt at the art center”.   When I got home she was so proud to show me the hole!  

By Friday, both girls first full week back at school, we were all exhausted!   It has been a great weekend.   Jimmy took the girls on a Daddy Daughter date for donuts.  It was filled with gymnastics as the girls had class and then a birthday party later! They were jumping and flipping all over!
