November 2, 2012

Yesterday was our last full day at the beach. Husband and I took the girls to the diner for breakfast, then to a Yo Gabba Gabba themed gymnastics birthday party– Chicken had a blast crawling around and trying to “get” all the big kids who were SO very much faster than her, and Ham rolled slowly around the mats very happily– and then, so I “could have a break,” Husband took the girls for a walk down to the park. Seriously, he is the best ever. So I got to hang out and play cribbage with my brother and cousin because that is how I roll, and the girls did this:

So happy! And so big!

The best thing about having an hour alone (aside from having an hour alone ) is, for me, having that feeling of pure elation when I see my girls again afterwards, like it’s been a week, and they give me big smiles. Melts my heart!

nobabyruth says: August 27, 2012 at 3:34 PM What sweet girls! Your hubs is such a great dad and husband! I definitely know what you mean about the time alone. That’s partly why I am always so impressed by you SAHMs! On the other hand, looking back over the past 14 months ( http://nobabyruth.wordpress.com/2012/08/27/who-shrunk-the-cow/ ) I sure wouldn’t have minded spending more time with my girl!! Reply

Courtney says: August 27, 2012 at 3:47 PM YES! Getting away gives us the opportunity to get that big, “so glad to see you” smile that is usually reserved for the daddies when they come home from work! I spent yesterday in the kitchen and loved every minute of it! I forgot how therapeutic cooking is for me. While I was cooking, this happened: http://wp.me/p2fq39-nl Reply

Fiona says: August 27, 2012 at 4:56 PM What beauties and so good of your husband to give you that hour to relax!! I definitely agree.. it is nice to have that time but extra nice coming back to see the little one(s) after the break is over! Don’t think I have a MMM this week as I haven’t loaded the photos although I’ve definitely had lots of memorable moments while here visiting with family in England! Reply

Mrs. Gamgee says: August 28, 2012 at 11:04 PM I didn’t get around to writing an MMM post this week, but I wanted to just say that I can totally understand your mention of time away. I had some time away from my wee-lings this weekend, and I’m telling you, I was so happy when I saw them again… It was good and refreshing to be on my own, and out with a friend, but it was all that much better because I was able to go home and see my sweet babies.
