We didn't start out knowing today was a call day. Erik was already at work for a normal day but got called to work a different service overnight.
This morning we went to a homeschooling information session. We played at a park across the street afterwards, and the girls did a great job playing with a few of the other kids who had come even though they were several years older. Eleanor and Claire were so busy playing that they didn't stop to eat the lunch and were probably pretty tired and hungry when I told them it was time to leave. The biggest joint meltdown I can remember ensued. It was actually comical because they were both so totally losing it. After I got them to sit down for a few minutes and start eating things got better.
Erik got two hours at home this afternoon before we had to take him back to the hospital. Eleanor has enjoyed "driving cars" (ie playing Wii) with Erik for a while and now Claire's getting in on it too.
Pictures after taking Daddy back to work would've looked a good deal like the crying one above so I didn't take any more. It was a great day for an early bedtime!
