I had to work Tuesday and Wednesday this week, so Stuart had kid-duty.  Adding to the stress, as I was leaving for work on Tuesday morning, my car could not start.  We ended up having AAA towed the car to the dealership, and we did not get it back until the next day.  I had to take the SUV to work, so Stuart was left with the boys at home with no car.  With the help of grandparents, they all played at home all day, had lunch and took a good nap.  Our neighbors came over to play in the afternoon, so everyone was happy.  When I returned home from work, both boys ran to me while yelling “ma-ma” to me.  We had the longest group hug ever which I enjoyed greatly. 

     On Wednesday, grandparents drove back to their home, so Stuart took care of the boys all by himself.  I took the SUV to work in the morning, so the boys just stayed home to play.  I came home during lunch to spend some time with them, then they drove me back to work so they could keep the car.  Stuart managed to keep the boys up during the drive back in order to have a nice nap at home.  He put Connor down first, then put Logan down next before Stuart enjoyed some game time on his own.  Shortly after nap, they spent some time at the library before coming to pick me up.  The boys were thrilled walking into the Campbell medical center and into my office.  They had so much fun just hanging out there while I made my last phone call.  We then picked up my car, now with a new battery, on the way home. 

     Stuart did such a good job taking care of the boys, and he was not even stressed.  The boys also behaved well for daddy too.  The most I did solo with the two boys were 2 hours at a time, so Stuart totally outdid me now.  Good job Stuart!
