So, Justin left me to go to Europe for 10 days. We miss him a lot already (He left on Saturday morning) But I decided that since I am playing single mom, and having to figure out how to do some things that I usually leave to him as "guy stuff" like changing broken light bulbs, unclogging toliets, ironing, and taking out the trash- that I was also going to figure out some computer stuff that I have been avoiding. So here I am on my blog again (finally) I even downloaded the pictures from the camera MYSELF (this is big for me). Anyway, here is a little of what we have been up to the last few days without daddy...
Saturday Brandon played all day with all the neighborhood boys- at OUR house. Needless to say we had a bit of craziness and messes, including a broken light in Brandon's room, by the end of the day. I decided to get a babysitter and go to dinner with Lynne Marie for a break. Sunday Brandon woke me up announcing that it was Christmas- I was worried what might make him think this- then he told me it was snowing outside! He was VERY excited! He and Brienna had lots of fun shoveling the deck off for me (what big helpers!) And then I attempted taking the two of them to church by my self. After arriving late, Brandon discovered that he had left his church bag at home, and broke into tears, so we went home, got the bag and returned. Later to discover that when Brandon had packed his own church bag he decided to bring along the grasshopper he had caught with his friends the day before (I was very pleased about this as you can imagine!?) He is such a boy!!!!!!!!!! After church we played, and the kids helped themselves to a popcicle (don't they look cute) Anyway, this is getting long. I just thought I would share a few of our adventures. I am surviving better then I thought I would- but I am exciting for Justin to come home!!! Only 8 1/2 days to go...
