The mice will...*Find mysterious packages on the doorstep
Filled with tokens of gratitude
*Get a snazzy new haircut
*Have a movie night full cuddled up on our busted couch with Kung Fu Panda and a bowl of popcorn
* Eat Frosties on a beautiful fall day
*Discover a fabulous new park and explore with friends
*Engage in numerous new art projects that involve drawing cars, numbers, and lots of tape
(we currently have beans taped to our wall)
*Hold silly photo shoots in our PJs
*And just chillax in general because we can

We stayed busy with lunches/dinners with friends, doctor's appointments, trips to the gym (free babysitting!), and lots of baseball outside with Lucy strapped in the Baby Bjorn. I was worried about being alone for five days, but honestly, the time has actually gone by fairly quickly. Andy's had a fabulous time basking in his favorite hobby, but we're excited for him to come home tomorrow.
Kudos to all you moms out there who are alone much of the time due to husbands' work schedules or other personal reasons. You're better women than I. If this is the case for you, what do you do to make the best of the situation?

We love Kung Fu Panda at our house! For us, having conflicting schedules just means that I need to find fun things to keep myself occupied and also some fun time for the Ashman. Our thing we did was go to the park. I know he and Aaron hit up the pet store when they are together. I also use my alone time to watch awesome Masterpiece Theatre movies.
I'm so happy the time went by fairly quickly for you.
UGH! i'm still not good at having patrick be gone so much and it's been 3 years! but now because i have two kids in school, along with soccer and dance, we always have stuff to keep us busy.
sounds like you definitely made the most of your "mouse time"!
Glad you had fun with Ben and Lucy.They're getting so big! Heard you might get to come this way for a girls Christmas get together and introduce Lucy to the aunties. Hope it works out! I miss you all and love you tons!
Huge points for the flowers! I'll have to get Ben to look at your blog later for the next time he's away. :) It makes the time pass by so much faster when you make yourself get out and do lots of stuff with your kids! Whenever Ben is gone overnight E and I go out and get a little something for dinner or dessert.
Nol, you are amazing. Can I be like you when I'm a mom? It looks like you guys had so much fun. you have very lucky kids!!
I was thinking about when me and mandy came out to boston to visit many moons ago. remember how much fun we had?
That park looks awesome! We found one like that in Fort Wayne and loved it! Those midwesterners sure know how to build a park.
