Our Day Without Daddy

When we lived in MA, there were always a few (and frequently most of the) days of the week where Lucas left shortly (as in minutes) after the babies woke up and got home after they were in bed (usually hours). Since we've moved here that hasn't happened...until this past week when Lucas took the youth group to Cedar Point. Let's just say that the twins and I (no longer accustomed to days without daddy) felt his absence. But we did our best to have a great day, and here is what we did.

We did not like saying goodbye to daddy, and so we cried. A lot. Until mommy warmed up some of daddy's pancake for us. Then we were much happier.

Mommy said our diapers had rashes, and let us play in the water without them. We had lots of fun - especially when she tied towels around us and let us run around in them. That was funny!

Mommy dressed us in our Nebraska t-shirts (since there was no one there to object...). Go Huskers!

We had lots of fun playing chase with each other...

...reading books...

...running around...

...rolling on the floor...
...and being silly!

Mommy decided to go for a run (although we walked an awful lot...), so we took off. About halfway we saw our friends (Miss Catherine, Mr. Chris, and E) coming toward us on bikes! We stopped at the playground by E's house and played in the water! We really enjoyed splashing with Miss Catherine. Then we ran around the park and Ry-guy tried out the merry-go-round with Mr. Chris. It was a lot of fun!

We were sad when we had to leave, but it was getting close to bedtime. We got home, took showers, and went to bed.

We really missed Daddy, but managed to have a wonderful day!

sounds like a good day, and it must have been the Nebraska shirts that put them in such good moods? Gigi

How long was Lucas gone? I'm not sure if I can feel sorry for you or not. Just Kidding!!!!...I always tell people that because my husband is never home. :) My friends will go on and on about their husbands being gone 3 days and I just laugh and tell them "WHATEVER". It looks like you had a fun time without him. Kim could you put those pics on snapfish of the twins in the Nebraska shirts I want to make 8x10's for my wall for my summer photos. They are soooooo darn cute. Even in Nebraska shirts haha....We really love Nebraska too cause that is where you and your family are..but when it comes to sports GO BLUE!!!
