John arrived home yesterday after being out of the country for a little over a week. The boys and I did great while he was gone but we are so happy to have him home.
Daddy surprised the boys by picking them up from daycare (usually mommy does it) and we all went out for half-price burgers.
This little boy couldn't be happier...
Welcome home daddy!

So far he's just commenced to playing upon his exit. I guess we know what we're doing over Labor Day weekend...bed shopping!!
It's actually a good thing. I'm tired of looking at that missing crib skirt. My entire male audience is asking themselves, "Cribs wear skirts?" Yes gentlemen. At least ours did.
Several months before the boys came home, my mom and I carried fabric swatches (little scraps of fabric) around looking for just the right coordinating pattern. We toiled over measurements and made a beautiful crib skirt making it appear as if we bought matching bedding for the nursery.
It took about a month for the boys to rip it down while playing hide and seek. It's become one of their favorite hiding places (second only to hiding behind the door). I've put it back up more times than I care to admit. I've given up.
And just in time too - big boy bed - here we come!

A few weekends ago the boys and I spent the day with our friend Heather. We went to see Clifford. It's a favorite show around here and going to see Clifford was a big treat for Seth (he could go if he rested during nap time for one full week).
Here are a few pictures of the event.
Colin gave this little girl a flower.
Then he smacked Emily Elizabeth in the face.
Thanks Heather for the pictures and for spending the day with us while daddy was away.

John has a couple trips planned this month. One for fun and one for work. I needed a break from being a mommy for a bit. It took 14 emails and 3 babysitters to get one night to ourselves. It was well worth it.
Thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Robinson, Aunt Kelly, and our pastor's daughter for watching the boys. They had fun playing, swimming, and watching movies.
John and I hung out in a quaint little town nearby. We ate at restraunt that required a reservation, slept in the next morning and went to the WWI museum (something John's wanted to do for a long time). My dad let us borrow his cute little convertible.
