SO Rob has some HUGE meeting at work tomorrow which means that he has worked late almost every night this week. Monday he was home because Alex had his football banquet and they went together. But Tuesday, Wednesday and tonight he has not been home before 9 pm. Its crazy. Which means I have the kids from morning until bedtime by myself.
I don't mind but it is exhausting. And come 5 pm in my house it seems like my kids turn into crazy demons and go nuts. I don;t know if it is because they are hungry ( I usually start making dinner around then) or if they feel like they need to let loose all energy they just got from napping but its loud at 5pm. Not everyday but most days.
This week they have been really good. Surprisingly good. On Tuesday the boys and I cleaned their room ( Lego's apparently threw up all over the floor)and Addie just wondered in and out of the room watching us. Yesterday we hung out. Alex played some games, they built some train tracks and we ran some errands.
And today I decided that since they had been so good all week I would take them swimming. We dropped Addie off at the childcare center and the boys and I went to the pool. They love the water. They have no fear at all. Alex had to take the swim test and of course he passed. I told the life guard he would be apparently my word wasn't good enough. I love watching them play in the pool. I can not wait until I can teach Zach how to swim. ( Hopefully this summer) Alex picked it up within mins and was swimming by himself and hasn't stopped. Hopefully Zach will be just as easy. With winter coming up I think we will be spending at least one day a week at the pool. This way they can still swim and also get energy out.
Oh and by 7:30 tonight my house was totally quiet with 3 sleeping kids. So now I am going to sit on my ass, watch my shows and maybe eat some popcorn.
