Mr. Mom

For those not yet aware... Becca has had the opportunity to return to a part-time Nursing position at the new hospital just 5 mins from the house!! This means a return to Mr. Mom duties for Bill, not experienced since Grad School little over 2 years ago. And by the way, there were only 2 kids around the last time Bill tried this... The following are highlights from Day 1...

5:30 AM Up and at it with a warm shower and warm cup of coffee to set the mood!

6:30 AM Brinley awake and ready for the day, and Bill is on to coffee cup number 2.

7:30 AM Remaining rascals now awake and demanding their Chocolate Milk, but we ain't got none! (1st minor problem for the day)

8:30 AM Everybody fed, 2 of 4 dressed and time for the 3rd cup of coffee

9:15 AM Elly's 45 minute tantrum over what clothes do and don't match is over and all kids are piled into the car for Hayden's MD appt. (2nd minor, well major problem resolved)

10:00 AM Hayden's appt is about to begin and the bribery has been set forth for good behavior.

10:20 AM Appt is over and a quick trip to Bill's work to drop off charts, and more bribery

11:00 AM Bribery offer is full filled with Icee's for the kids

12:30 PM Lunch is served and finished without incident

2:30 PM All kids asleep, including Bill!!!!!!!!!!!!

3:30 PM Hayden and Brinley awake early from nap and join Bill at the front door eagerly waiting for Mommy's return.

3:45 PM After what seems like too long of a drive (this has been discussed with Becca) she finally arrives home and EVERYONE is once again at peace!!

After 45 mins, the outfit was matching and weather appropriate.
