Reese travels frequently for work. Three and a half weeks is the longest he's ever been gone at one time and that was a loooooooooong time ago. He's been gone for seven days now. I LOVE being a mom but I am soooooooooooo done doing it alone. Thanks Honey for being such an amazing dad and husband! I don't know what I'd do without you.
I'm actually not doing it alone. This is Marta, the lady we hired to clean the house. She's WoNdErFuL! She's a great sport and we are learning a little Spanish on the side. Along with Marta, we have many friends helping us. We really do feel like we have Angels watching over us and helping us get through this exhausting period of our lives.
We have M&M night when Reese is out of town. The title is deceiving. It stands for Mom and Movie night. Sorry, no m&m's kids. We set up blankets and watch movies until we fall asleep. Babies not invited.
Good times with pillows and cushions. I think there are a couple kids buried in there somewhere.
I get so frustrated with Tigue when she puts her food in her water. I found out this week that she is only trying to "give them a bath."
Easter Egg Hunt! One of many.

:) I try to channel my inner Kat when I think I can't possibly handle two kids at the same time...man I feel like a whimp even typing that! You are amazing!!!
Oh Kat! You are amazing. Those kids are lucky to have you as a mom! (I love the yellow wall and painting above the couch in the living room too.)
Kat, I know how you feel. My husband travels to Japan 2 wks out of every month. Although his last trip happened to be 6 wks long and I thought I was going to die too:) You sure learn to appreciate ALL that they do when they are home.
The food in the water!!!! My two year old is always doing that--drives me nutty. When my husband was gone for almost 4 months finishing his dissertation, the kids and I discovered McDonalds. It was terrible but there were nights when I could not imagine doing one more dish or spending another minute inside the house (winter in Montana). I'd order them nuggets and fries and drive around town until they were finished and I could just throw them in bed when we got home. Not a healthy or economically sound habit but I needed a crutch of some sort.
I'm glad you have help and I hope you get out by yourself sometimes. I hope you also have a day at the spa planned for when Reese gets home. A night a two away--solo-- at a local bed and breakfast is also rejuvenating.
Good luck, hang in there.
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! How did I have no idea you had TWO more kids!!! They are SOOOOOO cute!!!! Congrats! I miss you guys so so much!
Kat, you are just awesome! I love peeking in on your adorable family :)
