Today is Monday. Normally today is a day held with dread by most people. Today was a day of joy and celebration for the Lake Family. Ben went to school today! He was so excited. It only took him two minutes once he reached the classroom to pull up his shirt and show the ladies his scar. At least I should be thankful that he waited until he made it to the classroom! He is tired though and up to some mischief this afternoon. Something about opening up the gas tank to Daddy’s truck and pushing buttons?! Not sure of the entire story.
Daddy stayed home most of the day and played mommy while I went to learn for the day. Daddy did awesome. He even went and read books to Ben’s class at school (which is my usual volunteer duty for Mondays). I came home this afternoon to a tired Chris. Doing Mommy duty when you are not used to it is hard. I am sure that he will be ready to get back to work tomorrow. Or at least he will be glad to not have to have Mommy-duty and be with people again. I had a good day of learning. It was nice to concentrate on something other than children. I came home rejuvenated and ready to practice what I learned. I can’t wait for the kids to go to bed!! Is 6:00pm too early for bedtime? Just kidding. Putting kids to bed at 6:00pm is only a punishment for parents.
Ainsley and Madie were healthy and ready to go back to school. So everyone was happy and ready to make this a great start to the best week ever for the Lake family.

Way to go Kath! Dads need to experience what it’s like to be the Mom — makes them appreciate how easy their job is!
God Bless the man. I did your mommy duties and it is exhausting. We are happy to hear Ben’s first day went well especially with the ladies…LOL
