While daddy's away, the kids will play, and I won't sleep.

Can anyone believe this weather?? Today was so warm, I turned off the heat in the house, drove around with the windows down, and contemplated flip flops. And once Pierce got home from school, we just HAD to get outside and play.

Jump Rope for Heart is coming up...
 So, he must begin his practicing.
 Yes, the top of her head is cut off, but how cute is she?

 I was having problems today, cutting off heads...
 And I also joined in on the foot races, and look here, I even got a head start. I still got beat. And I was NOT being sweet and let him win, I am literally that bad.
 And why such happy faces?
 Because daddy was on his way home!! Woot! Paul has been in Las Vegas for work since Monday, and we've missed him.
 He stayed at the Belagio! Nice!
 And while he's away taking in Vegas, I'm at home staying awake, all night. I can never sleep while he's away. I lay there and wonder if the evil, glass cutting, bad man is breaking in, and if he is, what can I do about it. My conclusion? Scream like a freaking maniac.
 But all is well, and ends well. Daddy is home where he belongs, and I plan on being asleep by 7:30 tonight.

The weather is awesome! I am exactly the same way. Steve can't even go to a late IU game and I'm staying up waiting on him.

Lovin' this weather, too! And love Vegas! {And the Bellagio! ☺} And I am the same way when Dave is gone overnight. I'd be screaming, too!

I'm jealous about the Bellagio! I would LOVE to stay there but my budget doesn't allow! It's my favorite casino there! It's always decorated so nice!
(I can sleep when B-rad is gone...but usually I'm thinking about the boogie man breaking in as I drift off...)

My husband works swing shift, a week of days & a week of seconds. On his second shift weeks I NEVER sleep. I had to LOL when I read this post. The glass cutting man is so me. I truly could have written it.

Our weather in KY has been amazing. The kids & I have really enjoyed time outside. Looks like your kidddos are loving it too.

Glad your hubby made it home safe & sound! Hope you get some much needed rest :)
