Ben’s wonderful Grandpa passed away last week and so Ben flew out to Utah/Idaho to attend the funeral. We were very sad we all couldn’t go but with us having gone to Utah only 2 months ago it was not in the budget.
I’ll be honest I was a little worried about being by myself for 4 days with the kids. I know that sounds lame but I am weak! I prayed that everything would be okay and I would get through the long weekend without breaking down. I have so many good friends who took care of me. Plus we had A.MAZ.ING weather so we were able to get out and enjoy the 70 degree sunshine. I told my friend Lindsey that God sent the weather for me to help but a smile on my face while Ben was gone. lol (I know, I know the world revolves around me!) Anyway, between my wonderful friends, great weather, and lots of outings we kept busy and enjoyed every second of what I thought was going to be a very long and hard weekend.
Here is just some of what we did:
That was a lot in four days and I didn’t even take pictures of everything. Thank you friends (Lindsey, Lindsie, Mary, Faith, Amy, Stella) who helped keep me busy so I didn’t go crazy at home without Ben. You are all the best and I am so grateful for you!
In other news. I wanted to post pictures of our new playroom. After getting so many toys for Christmas from Nanna we needed a place to put all of them. Ben is such a stud and gave up his office. He is wonderful! Now all the kid’s toys are in this one room which makes cleaning up so much easier. Me and the kids are in heaven!
You know what I’ve been up to this week? Here’s one day….I was so bored I decided to play beauty shop. Fun, right? The older one LOVED it. It included mani/pedi, curled hair and a hair cut. Yes, a real haircut. We were bored. Don’t look too closely. But the last haircut was crooked anyway (and I didn’t even do that one). I think it’s better than when we started…so at least that’s something. Good thing this week is nearly over.
