This week the wife flew off to Florida for the Macaroni Kid conference. She is having a good time. She also met up with some family and friends while she was out there.
This means I am here alone with the kids. For the most part this is a good thing. We have played Dixit Odyssey nearly every night. I read stories every night to Arionna, and I greet them when the get home from school. I rather enjoy being a "stay at home dad".
There is only one drawback to all of this staying at home with the kids....my cooking. I don't cook, so much as 'burn'. I'm the only person I know capable of burning cereal by pouring milk over it. It is so bad I butter bread and end up with toast. The wife was kind enough to leave food for most of the week, but in an effort to extend the 'good food' (as the kids put it), I made hamburgers the other day.
I was happy they didn't turn out charcoal, but they did have a nice 'crispy' outer coating. Oh well.
Tomorrow the girls and I will clean the hamsters' cage (both girls have a dwarf hamster...females, of course). Then we will go gaming at a friend of mine's house. Back in time for dinner, showers, and bed.
Marie returns Tuesday, but she will leave again for a few days with Arionna to a school camp. After that, it should calm down.
