Wishes

This has been such a great week for me and Harper. Granted, I've missed a lot of work, but it's been worth it to get to spend more time with him. I wish every week could be like this... with financial compensation like I'm working full time, of course. ;)

My brother breeds Great Danes and Mastiffs. His Great Dane had puppies Sunday night, so Mimi went to help out. We had originally thought it would just be three days, but it has ended up being all week.

I took off Monday and got to be home with Harper and Jack. Those two are so adorable. I took some great pictures of them together. I'll post them this weekend. Tuesday and today (Thursday) are short days, because Harper has school from 9:30-2:30. I love getting off early and getting to spend the afternoon with him. Normally, he cries when you take him to school because he'd just rather be home playing with his trains. But today I told him that if he'd go in and play with his friends, and NOT cry, we'd go to Target after school and get a birthday card for Jack. I asked, "What are you going to do?" He said, "PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS!" I asked, "What are you NOT going to do?" He replied, "CRY!" "And what are we going to do after school?!" "GO TO TARGET! HOOTY HOO!" It felt kind of like a protest chant. He cracks me up.

Tomorrow he gets to go to Jack's house to play. Harper has been looking forward to it all week. They are going to have SO much fun! And Saturday is Jack's birthday party. H has been singing the Happy Birthday song every day in preparation. I think I'll have him help me wrap the present. So, Angela, if you're reading this... it's not going to be pretty. lol
