Tangie was in Washington D.C. this whole week for an audit job, which left me with the kids all by myself since Sunday evening. She gets back Friday evening and I cannot wait!
I'm exhausted. No, bone tired.
So you'll forgive me for this short post and just let the pictures do the talking.

- Hugging Madelyn after giving the kids their baths before bedtime:
Me: [to Maddy] "You smell delicious."
Maddy: "Like peanut butter?"
Have a great week!
