This is Ross watching a little football and taking a well-deserved break from this weekend. (This is also Ross wondering why in the world I'm taking his picture...)I have to gush about my hubby for a minute. (Wendy, I'll go easy as easy on the "cheese" as possible!) Ross was the best this weekend and kept amazing me and reminding me why I love him.
On Friday night even though, like everyone else in the country, we're lower on cash than we want to be, Ross and I went out on a date. We didn't really do much. We went to a place called Taco Del Sol here in Helena and both had a burrito. Then, since there's nothing worth seeing at the movies right now, we just went to a few stores and meandered. Target was so fun without the kids and then we looked at classic movies at Hastings that we'd like to rent someday. Not much to our alone time, but we really enjoyed it!
That night I also sprung on him that I wanted to go to a craft show the next morning with my Mom and my girls. So in the morning he helped me get all of us ready for the day and then mopped my kitchen (which I hate doing). We left two hours later than I'd told him we would, but he just kept telling me to enjoy myself. Going to the Christmas craft shows with my Mom is something I have loved doing since I was a little girl and he wanted me to have that again and share it with my girlies. While I was gone he fixed the hot water part of our bathroom sink. He took the boys to Lowe's and then to Burger King and even put Luke down for a nap.
Of course time ran away from us as we walked around the craft show and we took a lot longer than the two hours I told Ross we'd be. I had to feed my baby Rebecca before we left and by the time she was done I realized that I only had an hour before we were supposed to have the missionaries to our house for dinner! I quickly called Ross and told him I'd just pick up something from Costso instead of trying to make the enchilada casserole and chili relleno that I'd been planning on. This is a post titled Super Husband, so you probably know what's coming next. Yes! He'd made the dinner and was ready and waiting to put it in the oven when I got home! He'd even set the table.
After dinner he was nice enough to give up the comfort of sleeping in his own bed and helped me pack up us and the kids to drive 20 minutes and go spend the night at my parents' house so we could go to Stake Conference with them today. On the drive over I kept thinking of things I forgot, like the expensive diaper rash cream we needed for Rebecca among other things, and he just kept coming through for me and telling me he'd remembered whatever it was I was panicking about.
Today he was great at church with our 4 rambunctious kids and took on diaper duty numerous time the rest of the afternoon. He was also patient enough to teach me how to play pool while we were still at my parents' house.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some of the great things he did, but it just all made it a really wonderful weekend and I'm grateful for my Cuteboy Ross! (If he actually checks our blog, he'll be embarrassed, but oh well!)
