The Weir's: Saturday!

Normally I love the weekends because I get to spend time with Dave and I also get a break from taking care of the girls all by myself. Unfortunately this weekend is inventory at Dave's work, so of course, he is at work this morning. It wouldn't be so bad if he hadn't already been working a ton this week and he hasn't seen the girls in 3 days. Wednesday Dave didn't get home until after 10 pm, Thursday after midnight, and Friday after 10 pm. I wouldn't mind the late hours if he got to go into work late, but he actually goes in at 6 am every day. I am just praying they finish inventory today so he doesn't have to go in tomorrow. I try and tell myself that the overtime pay is worth it and we need the extra money, but there is no amount of money worth missing out on time spent together as a family.
I haven't gone completely insane being at home with the girls all of this time by myself. One of the teachers at my school has been reaching out to me and trying to become friends with me. She has two kids, a girl in Emily's class and a boy a year older. She has invited us to a couple of different things over the last two weeks, but with the girls being sick and Thanksgiving, we haven't been able to get together. She invited us over for breakfast yesterday and I was finally able to say yes. After breakfast, Ally started getting cranky so I was preparing the girls to come back home and they begged me to let Emily stay. Of course I said yes and they had a blast playing together. I got to go home and put Ally down for a nap and get a bunch of chores out of the way. When I picked up Emily, Karla, my teacher friend, mentioned she was thinking about having a slumber party with Alex, her daughter, Emily, and another friend of Alex's. I had just been thinking recently about how I wish Emily had friends her age where she could do sleepovers with them. Whoohoo!
I have posted some pictures of some things that have happened over the last couple of weeks. Enjoy!
