Don't get me wrong, I love the freedom that having household staff affords. Our live-in nanny, Beth, is bright, energetic, imaginative and, most importantly, the kids adore her. I'm free to study, workout, primp and pamper at will. Yet I still look forward to chaotic (and sometimes hungover) Sundays of dressing, feeding, wiping, cuddling and amusing our two littl'uns. I know that I would miss my helpers no sooner had I stepped off the plane and no matter what, I will never look forward to cleaning my own toilet bowl but with kids as gorgeous as these two, can you blame me for wanting them all to myself .... sometimes?

I can relate to your mixed feelings! Sundays are exhausting but "in a good way." Reminds you what it's like to be a "real" (i.e., non-expat) parent.
Love that picture. Scarlett is so cute in pigtails! Is SpiderMan showing her how to drive the car?
