What I don't love about summertime? My kids spend 4 weeks out of the summer with their dad. Ughhh. I'm super excited that they have a good dad and that they get an opportunity to spend so much time with him, but really, do you know what it sounds like in my house? Completely quiet. It's really weird. For the first few days, I love it! I can do anything I want {after work} and I don't have to take care of anyone besides yours truly. But after I get that all out of my system, I want my kids back!!!! This year it worked out perfectly since FH and I were able to go on our honeymoon and then have another week alone at the house. It extended our honeymoon and it was great! But by the end of the two weeks, we were staring at each other, asking what couples that don't have kids actually do with their lives?! Gosh. We. Are. Boring.
Their dad doesn't live far from us and last night he drove by and they ran in and yelled "surprise! we came to give y'all a kiss!" that was a great surprise! I swear they grow 10 inches every time they stay away from home. Today is Thursday and they will be home on Sunday. Shortly after that, they will be heading back to school and I will be pulling out my hair. Because as much as I love those little boogers, it takes us about a week or two to detox from spending time with their dear old dad who doesn't like rules. After a few days of having them back home, I get reminded of what it's like to take a bath with 465 knocks on the door, to go to the bathroom and one of them has a question that MUST be answered IMMEDIATELY, and to hear "I'm bored" at least 3,678,421.5 times. But it's the kind of nuts that I like to be, I would much rather have them driving me crazy than listening to the silence echo in our house.
I mean, really, look at those faces. What's not to love?!
they are SO cute!! going back to school is such a transition I'm sure adding coming home from being away makes it harder!
