Day 2 & Day 3

Before I continue on Days 2 & 3, I should recap how my conversation went with my kids on my first day of Pat Leave.

Me: So boys. It's 8:30 in the morning and daddy's not going to work. What would you guys like to do.

Boys: I want to hit golf balls!

Me: Guys, its' pretty cold outside I don't think the range will we be open.

Boys: Can we hit golf balls! Pease!

Me: Alright. We'll see if the driving range is open. I don't think I'll be able to hit golf balls with the baby, but I'll watch you guys hit.

Boys: Yay!

We drove to five different golf ranges. None were open so I convinced them of going to Golf Town. Even at Golf Town, they wanted to hit golf balls in the simulator.

What can I say... my boys like golf.


Day 2
The magic of Cheerios and Milk for breakfast with a bit of fruit.

Took them to get their haircut. (Not the baby's. He'll have his after his first birthday). If you've ever had to take only one child for a haircut, you'll know that it can be a bit of a challenge. With two kids, you're in over your head. With three kids... well, you've got armageddon on your shoulders. Lucky for me, I brought back-up. My mom had taken the week off and volunteered to help out. Defenitely the cavalry. While the oldest was squirming through his haircut, I was sitting in another chair with the middle child as he got his haircut. My mom had the youngest in her arms wall making sure that the oldest didn't fall off the chair. Anyway, it could have been a lot worst and the kids look sharp.

Dinner
I put together a Turkey Cheesburger Pasta. Needed a little bit more flavour because it was turkey.

Headed out for 6k tempo run with RR.


Day 3
My mom wanted to visit the kids again. I slipped away for a half hour to go get a haircut for myself.

The whole day, we stayed home. I had the oldest do some "homework" and so he worked on printing his name.

Dinner
I cooked a Lemon Chicken Tarragon with my oldest son's help. Came out pretty good. Only 25 minutes.

Went out for my Hill Training (8 Hills) after dinner.


In case you're wondering, I have my kids helping with cleaning up. Especially when it comes to doing dishes. Although it can get a little wet at times, I think it's important to try to teach my kids the importance of helping out around the house. So far they enjoy it; so I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
