A Busy Week

I asked David to blog this week as he stayed home and played "Mr. Mom" on Monday and Tuesday, but I had no luck in getting him to. He was off Monday and Tuesday since he reenlisted last Friday and officially became a career soldier.

The thing I love about thie times that David stays home with the kids is that he has a whole new appreciation for what I go through on a daily basis. I think it is good for him to have this experience every once in a while - it benefits me too, I start getting more help around the house!

In addition to reenlisting last Friday, David was presented with an Army Commendation Medal.

Although they were not officially "presented" to him, he also received a Bronze Star and an Air Medal from the U.S. Special Operations Command, which he was a part of while he was in Iraq. Needless to say, we're very proud of him.

While I was away making the "big bucks" this week, here's a few of the things David had to deal with ...

(You'll notice there's no pictures of Grace here... she doesn't get into near the trouble her brother does)

I will say that I love my job, but I have gotten so used to staying at home most of the time that working every day last week really wore me out! I'm not looking forward to having to go back to work full time - maybe if I keep having kids I'll never have to go back to work... Fat chance - I think I'd lose my mind if I had any more! So, I guess I'll just have to get used to the idea of going back to work in a few years...
