B headed off for a long golf weekend with his family and let me tell ya, I’m so grateful for the kindness of friends. I do not have typical work hours so we don’t have typical help with our girls. B and I try to work our schedules around their school schedules and activities and of course, spend as much time all together as possible. 

B left on a Friday morning and came back super late on Monday (it was actually Tuesday by the time he got home!). I had my weekend pretty well covered, by my Aurora manager was still on vacation so Friday was a bit of a challenge….oh and I had a field trip planned at my Westminster studio. No biggie, just a full studio of kiddos! 

My staff really stepped up and did a great job and my dear friend, Jackie offered to pick the girls up from school and take them to the pumpkin patch. I didn’t even ask for the help, she just swooped in and offered and absolutely made my day. The girls were thrilled to spend the day with friends instead of at work with me and I could let go of some of that working momma guilt. I’m forever grateful for wonderful friendships. 

The girls requested dinner at Hu Hot which is one of B’s LEAST favorite places. We also watched Mamma Mia. I guess it was a night of things that B doesn’t like! Ha!

We knew snow was coming so we decided to enjoy a little bit of fall. The girls biked around and then we went for a little walk. It was a relaxing and quiet night at home. We enjoyed the girl night.
