It feels like Will has been gone for quite a long time...but in reality he has only been gone for 5 days. That does mean only a few more days until he returns! Actually, the kids are doing a lot better. The first few days they spent testing me and using me as a punching bag (of sorts) for their frustrations. Not literally a punching bag, but I imagine this form is just as tiring. We have been keeping ourselves entertained and doing special meals that we have not had in a while (since daddy has no self-restraint with sweets). We have gone crazy with cinnamon rolls for breakfast, making cookies for post-dinner treat, sugary cereal, etc, etc. We had a movie night last night with some friends. The kids had a great time. We watched Mulan (our friends had never seen it) and we had an easy dinner of pasta, veggies, fruit and baked apple slices with cinnamon & sugar for dessert.
The weather has cooled down the last two days...and it is raining today! I am so ready for fall. I enjoy warm weather, but only for a normal season. Then I am ready for the next one. I like my four seasons. I do not think I could live in a state that was hot majority of the year. I love my fall clothes too much! It has been unusually warm here. So the break has been nice. Our last few softball games were miserably hot.
The kids were very sad about dad being gone the other day, so we decided to decorate for Halloween. Super early! The kids got in costumes and then we started decorating. Meli was a fairy with "grammie's purse". Then she decided she wanted to be Snow White. She changes her clothes at least 5 times a day. It can be very tiring.

The kids love facetime with daddy. Even though, I think most of the time they are looking at themselves.

The first three days that Will was gone the kids would end up in another bed by morning. The first morning, my mom was here and Meli snuck in with her around 4 AM. Then at 5, she moved to the floor with Colin. The next morning, they both came in with me at 4 (not cool, once I am up I rarely go back to sleep). Then Meli joined me at 5 the next morning. I have been letting the kids sleep together, which they love. They have a little trouble getting to sleep, but they tend to sleep longer which is nice. I am excited when I get to sleep until 7.
