I got cocky…

That was my first mistake.

Nick had just been gone for a whole week earlier this month so one night seemed almost too easy.

Then 4 kids got colds and the weather turned nasty.

On Tuesday after dropping him off at the airport I decided to take advantage of being in town and went for a hike at Oxley Nature Center.

We took the Bird Creek Trail.

Tuesday actually went okay but the next day I decided to do a normal school day and we stayed home. Apparently we do better when we only do fun things all day.

Who knew?
Next time he leaves I am running around like a crazy person again and doing ALL THE THINGS.

Plus, being in the woods just makes me happy.

I should just hike the whole time he is gone.

Or I should live in the woods.

Ha

Wednesday was cold and overcast with freezing drizzle off and on all day.
All this energy should not be kept inside all day… At least our puppy is cute. Glad we are back to 2 adults per 5 kids.

These cuties wore me out.

Ha
