Nina Goes Home :(

I am a feeling blue today, I must admit. My Mom went home after a much needed dose of her. We got to spend a whole week with her, and I am blown away by how much LOVE she brings with her every time she comes. It makes me sad that my kids only get it from her a few times a year. Being far away is just plain terrible...

On the positive side, we had such a great week together! Here's a list of accomplishments...

♥ my Mom & Dad celebrated their 30 yr anniversary via the telephone- proof that making sacrifices for your kids doesn't stop at age 18, I Love You Guys!!!

♥ took the kids to 3 different grocery stores in a row- that was interesting

♥ went out to several restaurants and ate our meals successfully- those kids menu $1.99 deserts rock!

♥ had a date with my husband

♥ took over the waterpark

♥ watched 5 movies from beginning to end

♥ cleaned out Kohls- they called asking for their kids department back

♥ got to go to the mall and shop SOLO, complete with hair & makeup on

♥ gave & received hundreds of kisses & I love You's

♥ cleaned places in my home that I forgot existed- or maybe I blocked them out?

♥ laughed until someone peed their pants- name will remain anonymous


Thank You Mommy, we miss you & Dad terribly! Please hurry back!
