Thankful Thursday

This week I am very thankful for my sweet husband.

Last weekend he let me go away for a long-long weekend (Thursday- Monday) to Nashville, to visit with my many dear friends and attend a women's retreat at one of their churches.
He also took Friday and Monday off of work to be with the girls.

He not only fed and cared for the girls but also took them downtown to the carousel.

As you can tell they had fun!

They went to the playground.

He even took pictures of their weekend so I would see all the fun they had and of course recorded Pearl's lovely fashion sense.

He got the girls dressed in their Sunday best and brought them to church! (Okay Pearl added a few touches like the coat and socks in 90 degree weather. Pearl would not wear socks all winter but decided the first HOT weekend of the year that she finally likes socks!)

Now don't tell him but all of the above would have been enough to to get him plenty of great husband/Daddy points, however he went way above and beyond that.

While I was away that weekend he also manged to
-paint the kitchen
-refinish my dining room table
-plant our vegetable garden
-dig up the weeds in our flower garden, plant flowers and mulch it
-purchase and assemble two bookshelves for our bedroom
-bought me little rose plants from the girls and new tea towels for my kitchen
-made welcome home mommy signs
-and got to the airport on time to pick me up with my two sweet babies who were dressed up.
All while taking care of the girls!

I should go away more often! Anyway just had to share how thankful I am for my wonderful husband.
