Me and my boys

Since Dan has become unemployed, he has become a homebody.  He likes to sit on the couch and play on the iPad.  The only outside interaction he has is going grocery shopping once a week.  When I'm home I try to force him out of the house but he refuses.  I know how exhausting, stressful, and frustrating it can be staying at home every day, doing the same things over and over. Getting out of the house for a couple hours can be a giant relief.  But he prefers to stay home.

The other day his friends invited him out and I luckily had the day off.  I was so happy!  He gets out and I get to spend some alone time with the boys!  Dan left a little after 3 pm and didn't come home until after 10 pm.  The boys and I had so much fun together.

We colored

Baked black bottomed cupcakes

Went outside

Took Cal's 11 month photo shoot

And watched a movie

I loved being home with them.  I have missed spending so much time with them and getting some one on one with each boy.  I love when we are together as a family, but sometimes Dan needs to not be home so much!
