mr. mom for the afternoon

I leave for the day to go to a homeschool conference and this is what happens when Ben plays Mr. Mom.

When I came back the girls said they wanted me to go to work and for Papi stay home! Popsicles, getting wet in the backyard, a water gun fight... well, who could blame them?! I am very glad that Ben got to have this special afternoon with his girls.

What kind of funny things do you come home to when your hubs plays Mr. Mom?

    Is Braves swim suit on sideways? That would happen with my husband. They always have fun with Daddy, but that is all he has to do is play. I on the other hand am trying to run the household and there is always a million things to do. I hope the conference went well and you are feeling good and prepared. Good luck!

    Yes, this looks about right! When the kids get some alone time with daddy, it usually involves making a mess and staying up too late. But that's the fun of it!

    I would find mismatched clothes especially socks. The cuisine would always be "daddy food" which means everything fried. LOL

    My husband is the same way. When I came home one day, my daughter had dried chocolate all over her face! They indulged in a treat at our local ice cream parlor, Grater's, even though we already had some ice cream in the freezer! She's definitely Daddy's little girl.

    Popcorn is generally a large part of, if not the entire, dinner. And there are often "forts" around the house. :)

    My dad used to set up camp when my mom went away called "Camp Waddawiddapeppadadda" meaning "what's with the peppers dad?" because he loves cooking with peppers. We loved it! He set up a whole itinerary and everything!
