All By Myself

Life with twin toddlers means that you don't get a lot of free time to yourself at home. You come home from work, then there is a daily routine of: 

1) feed the kids;
2) clean the fallout from the meal; 
3) bathe the kids; 
4) read many books;
5) sing many songs;
6) put the kids to bed.

Last week, there was a reprieve granted. Amanda and the kids went to Estevan to visit Grandma and Grandpa. 

So, instead of my regular evening routine, I found myself watching movies, eating in front of the television, and reading books that don't have pictures and rhyme. 

As great as this sounds, it was sad to see our copy of Goodnight Moon sitting unread on the table, and Darshan's "nink"* standing by itself in the upstairs hallway.

* Darshan refers to his water bottle as his drink, but in toddler speak, the "dr-" becomes an "n-" occasionally

Everyone came back home on Saturday, and the house was back to it's usual musical state.
