Welcome Home Daddy!

We are SOOOOO glad that Daddy is home!

He came home just before Thanksgiving.  It seems that he has been gone FOREVER.  OK, really not too long, but before he left town, he was working a modified swing shift, so we really hardly saw him then too.

So since Grandpa Rowley was picking him up from the airport (THANK YOU GRANDPA!).  The kids and I were getting ready.  We made banners, and cookies.

Handsome wanted to have a surprise party for him.  So after the banners were made and hung and cookies baked, we played Candy Land all while keeping a look out for Daddy.

Gorgeous working hard on her picture for Daddy.

Then I heard the sound of a car door shutting.  Handsome went to the window to verify, Daddy was home!  The lights were dimmed and door unlocked as we all got into our hiding positions.   I have to say, it was TONS of fun, especially with the excitement I felt from the kids. 

Welcome Home Daddy! 

Halloween Party

Handsome and Gorgeous were invited to a Halloween Party.  As I was still sick with Pneumonia, and really not having much energy at all, we used what we had on hand for the costumes.  Can you guess what they are?  Maybe the frying pan and the satchel give it away (Handsome is also holding a crown, but it's hard to see)?

Guessed it yet?

Gorgeous is Rapunzel and Handsome is Flynn Rider, the characters from the new Tangled movie.  I thought it would be fun for Daddy to dress in all white (white shirt and pants, which he does have) and claim he is Maximus, but he didn't go for it.  Now if only we had a chameleon outfit for Adorable. :)  And don't worry, Gorgeous told me I could be the wicked mother. ;)

Daddy took the two characters to the party as I enjoyed some time at home with Adorable.  They both came back from the party telling me all the exciting things they did and what fun they had.
