Single parenting

Props to all the single parents and military spouses out there.  It is HARD!  And we're only on day 9.  Michael started his new job March 25th, so we borrowed Papaw's truck, hitched up the trailer, and moved him there the prior weekend.  We looked like the Beverly Hillbillies rolling up:

























It's not necessarily the parenting that's hard- it's the being alone at night when the kids are in bed.  I adore my girls, but sometimes an adult conversation is nice!  Michael definitely has the harder end of this deal, though.  He's in a new city, with a new job, in a little apartment by himself. 

We've been keeping busy on our own.  Olivia is really into doing "experiments" right now.   This one we filled 2 glasses with water, and put a paper towel draped in all 3.  We added blue food coloring to one and yellow to the other. 

















The next day:

















Paige was interested, too:

















We were pretty excited to play outside last week, even though it was still a little chilly:
























 

























We visited Daddy in Nashville last weekend.  It was rainy Saturday, so we went to the Adventure Science Center, which is a hands on science museum for kids.  Everyone in Nashville had the same idea, as it was pretty crowded.  It was fun, though!  Michael helped the girls build this arch and this was the picture I got:
























There was a "tinkering" exhibit that was pretty neat.  Everyone had to wear safety goggles.  I do mean everyone:















































The next day was beautiful and we found a great park within walking distance of the apartment:
























We sadly left Daddy and headed back for school.  Luckily, it is supposed to be beautiful this week, which means lots of time to play outside!

I'll leave you with a funny video:
