Weekend around the house

Quite an uneventful weekend around here. We were busy getting both the house and the yard ready for our departure later this week. We leave for Kauai on Friday and I am not going to complain, BUT I feel like we had/have a lot on our 'to do' list to get ready. However, we made great progress over the weekend and I am almost feeling ready to leave the boys/house/daily routine for 9 days.
I will honestly admit that I am a feeling a bit anxious about being gone for that long from the boys, but I can only hope and pray that I will be able to enjoy and cherish every moment, of what might be, a once in a lifetime experience.
I just need to keep telling myself that after 1/2 hour of being back in the chaos I will probably be asking myself "what was it that I really missed while I was gone?" It probably won't even feel like I was gone.

Here's just a few pics from things we did this weekend.

Sunday afternoon trip to the park for some swinging







Taking the boys for a ride. I must admit it was hard work pulling an additional 60 pounds! Oh my... quite a work out

I'm jealous of your huge back yard! And also the trip to Hawaii, of course, but that's a given. Hopefully the homesickness will be overshadowed by the fact that you get to be in such a beautiful place. And it'll make you appreciate your kids even more.

I'm feeling the same way, but the second we are in the sun with our frozen drinks, I think we will realize our little ones are in great care..we may never want to come back ;)

Trust me, we have plenty of weekends of house chores too! Of course we always have room for our friends anytime you want to venture West! You deserve a little pampering with Mark, and you'll be refreshed and ready for all the challenges of motherhood when you get back, right? Have a great time!

If you don't want to leave your kids for that long, I'd be glad to take your place. I don't know how Mark would like that though. I don't "put out" for other men.
