I didn’t know you knew my children so well! You describe them to a T! :)

I feel like I still am recovering! Being away for the weekend takes major preparation. And, major recovery. But it was worth it!

I guess I forgot to comment yesterday.

A vacation from the kids, whether it is an actual vacation or just a sleepover at Nana’s house so you can paint the bathroom, is a wonderful thing. Just as a regular vacation makes you feel better about your life, a kid vacation makes you feel better about your family and makes you even more grateful that the little booger-picking, mess-making, balls of love are yours.

Yes. Let’s form that village. It shouldn’t take five months of planning for any one (two) of us to get away. I’ll take your kids and you take mine. Shall we start a blogging commune? With all of our individual talents it might meet utopian standards! (I’ll provide muffins. And art materials.)

Yes. Time warp! So much of raising children is a time warp. Or something. We had a great time, and I’m already thinking about what we might do with our next opportunity. Hmm… Hope you have some nice plans to look forward to with your hubs!

Funny about the new shirt, right? But I only spent 6.99 at Marshall’s, so when it gets destroyed by paints and random food smudges, I’ll live. Next sport to conquer: football? We’ll see…

Yes. Everyone needs to do this! Glad to have your comments to look forward to as I SCROLL down down down. My battery died last night as I was trying to get caught up … so I’m back at it now. Hope you have some good adult time planned for the near future!

I loved this.

Yes, “it takes a village to nurture a marriage” and children, and ourselves. I want to live in a village where we all help each other and then we can have weekends and new shirts. sigh….

I’m so glad you had a good time! (sorry ’bout the car!)
