Daddy and Rachael, Day 6

Day 6 started off with Rach sleeping until 9am - yea! I didn't do quite as well, but far better than I did the day before (couldn't have done much worse). We ate breakfast at mom's then headed out around 11am or so. Had to get home to the pups.

We got home and spent some time straightening the house then went outside to do battle with the van. It was a mess inside. So, Rach and I pulled out all the seats, all of the floormats, and all of the stuff that didn't really need to be there. Scrubbed the inside of the van for about 3 hours. Looks like new now. Very happy with the result.

Went to dinner at Famous Dave's. Yummy! Rach's dvd player in the van finally died. Got another. Went home, watched Spongebob, and Rach was out. I can't fall asleep. Sitting in bed at midnight typing on my cell phone. Pretty pathetic. I hope to hell I sleep tomorrow night with Fran back.

Daddy and Rachael, Day 5

Day 5 was definitely our roughest day so far. Not that there wasn't some fun and cool stuff too, but Rach was kind of whiny and I was tired from the start. Here's a recap.

Sharing a bed with both Emma and Rachael is tough. Each of them is a wiggle worm, but together it's 10 times worse, so I woke pretty much ready for a nap. Exhausted. We hung out at my mom's until after lunch time. Once my kid sister made it to my mom's a little after noon we went on a field trip to Straussburg.

Straussburg has a truly kick-ass ice cream parlor. Excellent! We all got some ice cream. After our snack Donte and I took the girls (and Avery) to the train museum. Very cool place - we'll definitely have to go back some time. After Straussburg we headed back to my mom's place and fired up the grill, cooking up some burgers and dogs. It had been raining on and off all day, so we skipped fireworks and watched the ones from DC on the tv.

Rach and I headed off to bed when the fireworks were over. Didn't take long before we knocked out.
