Despite the colds and coughs that hit our house at the end of last week, I was able to get away for a long awaited weekend with my favorite girlfriend. Mr. Mom was a weekend warrior and held down the fort. When Cole came down with a fever on Thursday night, I thought my weekend might be shot. Due to our nanny being on vacation last week, C. took the day off Friday to be with the kids and he had THREE full days with them.
He did GREAT! Although he confessed when I got home that he was not "cut out" for that and IF I ever go away again, we will need to get some more help. I quickly reminded him that the IF is a WHEN, and certainly, we'll enlist more help the next time. Up until now, he never wanted to accept help. Hanging at home on a rainy weekend for three full days with one sick kid and another with a brutal diaper rash is no fun. They seemed to have a little bit of fun though and everyone was in good spirits when I returned home late on Sunday afternoon. I missed them all tremendously but it was a great break for me and gave me that 48 hour respite to remind me how to relax. He even threw in a load of laundry and cooked a spectacular dinner that evening - am I lucky or what?

Nice to see Chuck man up. I am sure it is hard for him to watch ESPN and change a diaper at the same time. LOL.
Good for you Kate, I am sure you needed the little vaca.
Glad to hear all is well.
