Single Mom for 8 days!

As you know from my previous post, Skylar went hunting for eight days. I was able to experience what it is like to be a single mom. To my surprise, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. He ended up staying an extra day because he wasn't having much luck. He saw two Bull Elk, but they were too small, so he passed them up. After that, he didn't see anything! Oh well. He wants to go up to his parents house in Utah and shoot a HUGE one he says. That won't be until next year, and I assume me and the kids would go along. Having Skylar gone during the night was the hardest thing. My worst fear is that someone is going to break into my home while we are all sleeping and steal my kids. So, my kids slept with me every night. Now Daisy won't sleep in her own bed, but at least I was able to sleep peacefully. I took some random pictures because Skylar had the camera and didn't even take one picture!



This is Skylar shortly after getting home. He just shaved off his "hunting hair".(facial hair that keeps him warm) I haven't seen Skylar with his hair long like this, I was wanting him to keep it long and style it cute, but he wasn't going for that. He likes his hair short, really short. This is him telling me that I am crazy for thinking his hair is cute long. What do you think?





Slade in his goggles. He has a tool set that goes with them. He doesn't like it to go any lower on his nose, although they are designed to protect his nose. And he always wants to wear his jacket, even inside the house.





Daisy is still in the stage where she cries every time I leave the room. I think its actually getting worse. I was making dinner last night and had her in the excersauser in the kitchen so she could see me. Obviously, she was very happy about that.
