Shaunna has been away in UT and CO checking out a couple of practice opportunities we found. As such, I've been in-charge of the home-front. Here's my report:

Day One: Woke up early to get the kids dressed and ready for school. I forgot that girls have hair and realized I've never brushed it. Found a bottle of detangler (cool stuff!) and a water bottle (Neat!). I gave my 5 yr-old Priya the brush and let her do her thing. My 3 yr-old Auralee told me I had to do it. I sprayed a couple of each in her hair and proceded to bush. As soon as I started spraying she told me I was doing it wrong. How many ways are there to spray a bottle? Finally after a few brush strokes she couldn't take it anymore. "NO, NO, NO, Papa! You're doing it wrong! Papas do EVERYTHING wrong and Mamas do everything right!" she yelled. Smiling I put a head-band on her and dropped her off at the babysitters. :) Shwew!

Day Two: [house a total wreck] How Mamas manage to cook, clean, brush hair, pack lunches, and cloth children is beyond me. I'm in all-out defense mode and still failing. Luckily they're all still alive!

As Auralee was waking from her slumber I whispered, "Hey sweet-pea, maybe Papa will do a better job on your hair today." Still sleepy-eyed she responded, "You have to learn how to do it the right way. Mama has to teach you. You have to wach her do it and say, 'Oh that's, how you do it.'"
