Here I am, in Des Moines running the office.  The typical day starts around 7 and goes until around 4:30 with people and then off to some other things scheduled for the evening.  Pretty typical.  Then there is my husbands current job…babysitting our 4 grandkids for 2+ weeks in AZ.

Now, he is enjoying his time with them so far, of course it has only been a day and a half, but already the typical has gone out the window.  The older girls were in a car accident on the way to school, they were not hurt, nor was their friend who was driving, but still, terrifying I am sure.  Then our 8 year old was grumpy in the morning and worried about being late for school (due to the accident) which, of course, he wasn’t.  Pre-school for the little one started off just fine until Papa remembered lunch…oops….had to go home, pack lunch and take it back.

Now all of those things would have been enough for a first day, but the part that had me laughing until I was almost in tears was what transpired when the little one got home.  Being a super Papa he was outside with her while she played.  She found a snake and was busy playing with it until the poor snake found a rock (or something) to hide under so she couldn’t see it anymore and went on to something new.  How funny! 

He’s my hero, taking care of the kids, loving them so much and doing such a great job, no wonder I love him so much!!
