Last weekend Jud hopped on a last minute trip to South Dakota with his favorite chicken company. He is on the "standby" list for last minute fill ins and he gladly hops aboard. They have really been good to him over the years and likewise.
There are certain things we do when Dad is away. I guess you could say we have "Daddys away traditions"! The kids always get excited if Judson is going out of town. BUT, as soon as he leaves, they start asking "How long before Dad gets back"? The miss him and do not like him being gone for very long at all.
When Dad is AWAY...
We give the dog a bath in Dad's shower
We go shopping...just the girls...
Each kid gets a turn sleeping with Mom in our bed...
We have movie night all together in the family room with pallets everywhere...
We close the kitchen down and eat Lebanese food from the freezer or order take out...
AND WHEN DAD RETURNS...
We have a MAJOR wrestling match until we cannot take it anymore!
Then its back to normal...Dad holds down the sofa, watches his fantasy football, plays his game on the iPhone, wants to know whats for dinner,and kicks everyone out of his side of the bed! Until next time...
