He's taking a class on Labor Law, which he totally needs to take since he'll be in charge of it while one of his co-worker is deployed. But, he won't be home until late Friday night. He left Sunday morning around 5:30. Elisabeth really misses him and put his pictures in her backpack that she used to keep there in Kindergarten when he was gone for all those months for COT and JSOC training. Julia misses him too, but doesn't understand (obviously). Every time she hears a door open, she's frantically looking for him. :(
So far, it's been pretty good (you know, for the 1.5 days he's actually been away) (I'm such a weiner). We're keeping our normal schedules, so there's that consistency. I'm just hoping Friday gets here super fast. Oh, and when he come home he will bringing his parents with him!!! They're coming in for the weekend and they'll all be arriving at the airport on Friday about the same time! So I'll go from being a single parent to having two extra helpers to love on the girls for me!!!
Last Friday, my lovely friend, Karen (from my Mom's Walking Club), volunteered to watch Julia for me so I could go on Elisabeth's field trip with her. We went to The Spotted Pony Family Farm. They had a couple of animal areas for the kids to interact with the animals, a tractor ride, and then horse rides. It was kind of a disorganized mess, to be honest. The farm didn't seem to know how to handle 3 first grade classes and there was a lot of down time for the kids...which meant whining, boredom and getting into things they shouldn't. :) My inner teacher kicked in and I rallied the troops a couple of times when I felt mutinous vibes coming from groups of bored 7 year olds. But, Elisabeth had fun and thanked me a million times for coming with. Poor baby, she doesn't get too much one on one time with us like she used too. We're going to have to try to do things minus Julia every now and then. I see bowling in our future...
Here's Ebeth eating lunch.
Petting a bunny.
This was the farm's turkey. I LOVED him!! He liked being petted and followed everyone around. We're not sure if he's a pet or planned for the Thanksgiving feast for the farm. ;)
