Well, it's Saturday night and I'm not exactly spending it the way I thought I would. I was supposed to be at a surprise birthday party, but instead I'm sitting here with two little girls at my feet and they have their eyes glued to the tv watching "Surf's Up". There's a really long story behind this, but suffice it to say I'm "fostering" them for the weekend. It's a terrible situation and I really hope that it turns out well in the end, but we'll just have to wait and see.
I'm learning alot this weekend....single parents are AMAZING!
It's actually a little funny...one of them is sitting here in my t-shirt (her pjs for the weekend) and the other is wearing one of my fancy dresses (they've been playing dress-up with all of my shoes, dresses, jewelry and make-up). The treadmill has been a huge hit and when I went to vacuum the floor they fought over who would do it (they thought it was really fun)! We made cupcakes together - they decorated them, so cute, and I wiped cupcake off the bathroom floor (no idea how it got there).
I must say, I feel like all I've been doing this weekend is washing dishes....lots of glasses have been used. But, it has all been worth it if it means they get to spend one carefree weekend with me, with lots of food to eat and lots of dancing around in the kitchen taking place!
Stay tuned.......
