Our good friends Andrea and Dana wanted to come help for one of my chemo treatments. It worked out for them to come for Round #3. They stayed a week, filled our freezer, cleaned our house, did our laundry, and 'Mommed' our kids (and me too). Morgan asked them if they were going to go back home and 'Mom' their kids too. I bet you didn't know that the word mom can also be used as a verb! Then Logan announced that they weren't step-mom's, they were teacher-moms! We were just happy to adopt them for the week and let them 'Mom' us all.
They kept the kids entertained. Here they are hosting a Bubble Blowing demonstration...
Success! Morgan and Logan are still practicing...
Andrea got out the shaving cream to practice spelling words. Lane did not like the mess and Logan was thrilled he didn't have any spelling words. He got right down to business!
Dear friends who helped keep me sane in a week that was an emotional roller coaster. It is a special friendship that can grow even when you live hours apart and see each other once or twice a year. Yet, when you get together you pick right back up where you left off. I'm pretty lucky to have these two friends! And a big thanks to their husbands and boys for letting them take a week to come take care of us!
Aww, thanks for letting us come! A week we won't forget. :-)
