Mr. Mom day one

Well Nicole and Laurie headed off to Latvia this morning; they left about 9:10AM headed to New York then to Venice (overnight flight) and should touch down in Latvia sometime around supper time. My iPod tells me Riga Latvia is 7 hours ahead of us so it will be after midnight when they get there and then they have to get situated in their room. Busy day on Sunday beginning with church, then pizza with some of the kids from the Youth Home and then off to do some shopping for the orphanage. Thanks to everyone who donated so generously to this cause!

Things were kind of quiet here... Sadie and I hung out at the house most of the day. We met TJP and Landon for lunch at Jones' BBQ in Temple and then back to work. The kids did their homework at school so we are set for all kinds of fun over the weekend!

My special project to get accomplished while Nicole is gone will be to clean and organize our bedroom. I was going to surprise Nicole but I got antsy and wanted to start before she left so I told her that was my goal. (not sure if she thinks I can get it done)... Made some progress on it today but will chip away at it over the weekend and into next week. Slow and steady wins the race, right? The end goal will be to get all new furniture in the next few months, but in the meantime it makes sense to get it cleaned up first. Nicole has already picked out all the stuff she wants, now we just need to save up for it :(

I took PTO from work most of next week so it should be much easier to keep up with the laundry, dishes, etc... Plan to take Sadie to the park a time or two if the weather permits and will have lunch with friends on Wednesday. (getting my bling installed at 9am that day too).



When I talked to Nicole tonight, I learned that they were moved to FIRST CLASS!! Looks like they should have a great night on the plane and wake up to a new country :)

Tonight, I took the kids to Zaxby's for our usual and we had leftovers since Nicole wasn't with us... more for me tomorrow! Sierra folded the clean clothes that were ready to be done and the boys are constantly fighting about video games. Sadie is NON STOP into everything; turn your head and she has something she's not supposed to doing something she shouldn't... going to be interesting!
