Daddy Day Care

What better Mother's Day present than to spend three days relaxing, shopping, eating out, watching movies and SLEEPING IN with no children. I decided that this was far superior to any other gift I was eyeing (the new toaster ran a distant second), so this morning Kimberly started her well deserved and overdue weekend away.

That means that I'm in charge of keeping the kids (alive) and being reminded of how hard Kimberly works every day, all day, with a clock that I swear is moving slower than it should. How she keeps her sanity with the slobber, eating, cleaning, bottles, naps, constant requests, grumpiness, and all the Caillou episodes I'll never know. I'm so thankful for my wonderful wife and for her daily sacrifices.

The house is a mess and I have some clothes to wash, but I made it through day 1. Here a few shots of our outside time.

Oh dude. Caillou is unbearable. Micah had a very brief stint of watching that, thank the Jesus that it was brief.

What an awesome gift! You're a great dad for doing this, and I know it is SO appreciated... hope the clock has sped up a bit. And if not, at least you're on the downhill stretch now. ;)

Great job, Joshua!! I guess all it takes is time with the kids to blog these days :).

thanks again for the hotel points room! had a blast and LOVED the sleeping in! Kimberly and I've decided we need to do that about once a year :)

What a great husband! I'm sure it was exhausting - and hopefully just as rewarding!
