This weekend Jason took the kids to the farm to see Gran, Aunt Kim, and Uncle Brian.
Here they are... Loaded up and ready to have some fun!!
Then at the farm.
Snacks...
I just noticed that this appears to be chocolate cake with white icing. MMMMM. I'm jealous!
Flying kites...
Roasting hot dogs for dinner and s'mores for dessert...
They drove the golf cart, the little Jeep, played on the swing set, took "baths" in the hot tub, played with the dogs....
They came home exhausted but telling me TONS of stories of all the fun they had. They kept telling me it was a GREAT weekend!!
.........
And in case you're wondering if I had a great weekend too...
I did. :)
I tried to alternate between one thing I
had to do and one thing I
wanted to do. For example, I cleaned the house; then I went shopping. I slept in, but then I went to the grocery store. By the time everyone came home today, the house was clean, laundry was done, and groceries were bought and put away.
I had dinner both nights with Mom (and Dad on Saturday). Last night the 3 of us played board games, which was a good time.
I think the best parts of having the kids gone for the weekend-- (a) I enjoyed sleeping late and (b) watching what I wanted to watch on the big TV in the den. It's the little things that bring me joy. :)
