Take Your Child To Work Day

Colton working with dad!


Last Thursday was National "Take Your Child To Work Day." All three of our boys came home from school begging to go to work with Kyle. Kyle couldn't take all three boys and still work. So we let Colton wake up at 5:45 a.m. to go to work with Kyle. After Lindsay's preschool field trip, I took the rest of the kids down to Kyle's hospital. Jared was so excited. And Caleb thought it was completely unfair that Colton got to go in the morning and he had to wait until the afternoon. As we walked into the hallway from the recovery room, Jared saw a women coming out of surgery and said VERY LOUD "Is that lady dead?" The kids had a blast playing with balloons made from rubber gloves and seeing where dad works. I went home with the rest of the kids and let Caleb spend the afternoon alone with Kyle. It was a wonderful day and next year Caleb has called dibs on going in early with Kyle for the morning shift. Colton presented a slide show for his class of his day with Kyle at work, complete with a laser pointer and passed out rubber balloon gloves to all the kids. It was a big hit!
