While Dan is away, the kids and I must play

The title says it all. When Dan is away for work, the only way I can stay sane is to play. Yesterday we went to Target (my play time), the McDonalds playground, story time at the library, the park, and after their naps we went on a walk, picked up Cafe Rio, and had a picnic on our family room floor while we watched Monsters University. It was delightful.

Today has been a different story. Logan is sick, Claire has some major attitude, and I stayed up way too late watching my girly shows (another way to stay sane while Dan is gone) which means I'm tired. So, naturally, we took some pictures...??? Doesn't make sense, but it felt like playtime and put us all in a better mood.

^^This was taken right before....

..this happened.

So we switched to these props instead..

Oh, and this is where Dan is.. the poor guy..
