Everyone survived without me. Huh. Imagine that!
The twins are 31 months old and yes, it was my first time away from them by myself. Daddy and I have taken 3 nights away for date nights but this was the first time that Daddy was left in charge.
I'll admit. I left telling myself to have minimal expectations when I returned. As long as the kids were fed, wearing semi-clean clothes and still in one piece, I would consider it a success.
Daddy picked them up from daycare Friday evening and they had pizza for dinner. He let them stay up super late. At this point, I'm sure the twins were thinking, "Daddy is G-R-E-A-T"!
Saturday morning, they went to the local park that has a huge playground. Daddy spoiled them with Happy Meals for lunch. Not the healthiest weekend for meals but hey! Daddy doesn't cook. At least they ate. LOL!
After naps, they went to visit their cousins. They were both safely tucked in their beds when I got home that night at 10:30 pm.
I could not wait to see them Sunday morning. Christopher woke up first and was standing at the baby gate in their bedroom door. I peeked around the corner from our bedroom and said, "Hi Buddy"!
He gave me the biggest smile and said, "Hi, Mommy"!
As we were walking down the stairs together, he looked up at me with that same smile and said, "Mommy come home".
Melted my heart. He must've given me 15 hugs that morning.
Kendall woke up about 45 minutes later and barely gave me a 2nd look. It was like I was never gone.
Geez, thanks.
She was eating her pancakes and all of the sudden, out of the blue, she got up and ran in to see me.
"Mooommmmmyyyyyy"!
It was like she remembered that I had been gone.
I don't have the opportunity to get away very often but it's comforting to know that Daddy has it all under control.
Now, I just need to sign him up for some cooking classes.
