Stories from the “Without Daddy Adventures”

So the boys and I are officially on our own in Northern MN for the next 10 days. We dropped the parentals and lil’ sis off at the Minneapolis airport early Sunday morning after driving through the night. Now we are back up north, enjoying the quit.

But….

The past the days have been full of all kinds of stories. Here are the highlights that I will do my best to expand upon.

• If you are kind and polite, even at 3:30 PM, people will do their best, even go out of their way to help you. This is a lesson I want my boys to see over and over and over again.
• The Mall of America is not nearly as intimidating as I remember.
• Blessing my boys with fun times with mama unconditionally was totally and completely AMAZING! BUT Jeremiah can not handle good things YET (I say with hope), and I definitely paid for it later.
• Beating my boys, especially Gabe, at cards is SO MUCH FUN!!!!
• Gabe will never be a taxi driver or professional navigator. But we got our pizza eventually.
• A friendly Israeli + Dead Sea salt scrub + 2 boys + ADHD = A mama nearly peeing her pants laughing. (“MOM! MY HANDS HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS SOFT!!!”)
• Even Jerome gets sick of pizza eventually.

Blessings!
