Blake and I had a wonderful weekend away and were spoiled rotten the whole time. Good food (I'm spoiled for regular bagels after Arika's homemade), fun with the kids, and full-blown spring were the headlines of our Philly weekend. Our return was met with grey skies and snow, but also with a very happy car full of boys.
Blake squealed with delight when he saw the boys, then cried all of the way home from the airport because the was so out of sorts. Mase and Ashton we delighted with their travel-gifts, I am rationing the pretzels so they will last through the week. Mason took the liberty-bell replica that Leo chose for him and his brother to school. When I told him the story of the bell he said "that makes nonsense to me".
I expected the boys would have a good time while I was gone, which they did, but what I didn't expect was all of the work they did around the house. Sean, who to my knowledge has never operated our washer and dryer, washed four loads of laundry. He even folded them and put them away! He washed dishes, he cleaned out the refrigerator (I'm talking scrubbing, people) and he cleaned out the kitchen cabinets. The boys spent an afternoon cleaning out the garage and working in the yard, all on top of the fun things they got to do, like dinner-and-a-movie with grandma and playing at the park.
I'm going to have to go away more often- anybody up for a girls weekend?
The Market was a little overwhelming for Blake, he suffered a bout of sensory overload and had to sleep it off
always prepared
Uncle Derk multitasks like a pro. I think he's ready for a third.
