Well, Mommy is gone this week.  Posts will be short and I am going to share how the week goes for the Hoover boys.  It’s just me, Rex (2) and Jax(1).  This is our first extended stay at home together alone.  I am excited and already exhausted!

It’s going to be interesting trying to balance workouts, work, and taking care of the boys.  I recently went to Boise, ID to train for a few weeks and had no idea how difficult it must have been for my wife.  I am finding out now.  It really makes me appreciate all she does.

The day started with us all going to the gym.  There is a daycare there and it was odd to be using it.  They did a great job with the boys.  I was glad that I got my workout in.

When we got home the boys took a nap and then we all went to work on Suzy’s chicken coop.  She wants to get a few chickens so that we can start having our own eggs as well as teach the boys responsibility.

I was working away when Rex asked if he could write on some boards.  I thought “Why not?”  I figured he’d use a pencil but he grabbed a permanent marker from my tool bag and proceeded to write on the boards and then on himself.

He drew a great beard all over his face and colored his hands completely black.  We spent quite a bit of time in the bath scrubbing.  Hopefully it will all be gone before mom gets home.

I sent a picture to Suzy because I figure it is better for her to know that we are all surviving with only minor incidents.  It was really tough for her to leave but I am glad she is taking some time for herself.

So as for today we are all doing great and am looking forward to our adventures tomorrow!

See you tomorrow!
