Bring Your Daughter To Work Day

I am doing this stuff all out of order.  Oh well, you get the idea of what we were doing the last week of April.  So April 26th was Bring Your Daughter to work day.  So since Natalie went to work with Joe last year it was Kaitlyn's turn this year.  Natalie wasn't too pleased about it and since I was recently contracted to do some PLR (Public Label Rights) work I said she could say home with me and learn the fine art of blogging, PLR, taking care of the house, and children.  She was excited about that.  Joe didn't think it was fair since Kaitlyn didn't stay home with me last year, but I also wasn't getting paid for any of my work last year.  It wasn't all fun and games around here either like Natalie was expecting.

But here's Kaitlyn going off to work with daddy...

 And then when Natalie and I got a chance to sit down after getting CJ off to school and Joe and Kaitlyn off to work and cleaning up the living room and the kitchen and changing diapers and feeding Alyssa breakfast and and and (you know all that mom stuff) I snapped a picture of me and Natalie.

Still smiling, I don't think I worked her hard enough.

It was at this point Natalie and I started working on google searching for PLR sites and then I got a phone call from my boss.  Once I got off the phone it was back to google we went.  And then before we knew it CJ was getting home from school and Alyssa was getting up from her nap and it was time to get lunch for everyone.

I think Natalie realized that maybe the working world isn't so great.  Kaitlyn had fun with Joe at work learning all about seafood.

Bring your daughter to work day 2011

Today was bring your daughter to work day. Joe had asked his boss a while ago if he could bring Natalie and he was given the okay. So he got her a work shirt, hat, and apron to wear today. And this morning I dropped her and Joe off at work at 7:30 so Natalie could learn what Daddy does all day. She was super excited to go, although I think mostly to get out of doing school work. Unfortunately for her she still has to complete her homework assignments and I am having her write a paper about what she did today. So not completely free from school work.

I had stopped in after dropping CJ off at school this morning to see how it was going and she loved it.

You can hardly see her behind the counter
Here I am!
She said she wanted to go there everyday instead of school.

She had asked if she was going to get paid for today. I told her she was getting paid in knowledge of knowing what Daddy does all day long. She wasn't too thrilled with that. She did have a good time though.

When I picked them up later she said she had a great day. She waited on customers and put seafood in the case. She learned the difference between different fish. She got some strange looks from people too and one customer asked Joe if she was old enough to work there. He explained to her that it was bring your daughter to work day.

I'm glad she got to experience this because I remember doing it with my dad when I was in school and it was always neat to get to see where my dad worked and what he did everyday. Now granted with Joe working at a grocery store we frequently visit him at work, but this time she got to see more of what he does besides the waiting on customers part.
