1. First time my house has ever been 100% completely picked up
2. First time ALL the laundry has been done. Every dirty clothes basket was EMPTY
3. First time I had the entire house to myself for an entire weekend
4. First time I got to sleep in without worrying about the girls coming into the room to wake me up
5. First time I could make all the noise I wanted to until I finally went to sleep
6. First time I spend all day running errands and not have to worry about getting back bc of a sitter or getting back bc grandparents needed a break
So, this past weekend, I met my parents half way and gave the girls to them for the weekend. It was totally a last minute deal. Kent was going to be gone all weekend and I had a massage I had bought off Groupon and wanted to use it. I asked my mom if she would be willing to keep the girls for the weekend so I could clean the house really good and have some "me" time. She said yes (she rarely says no- but after this weekend, I told her I could get use to this arrangement- her response was "I'm going to have to learn how to say "no". LOL Love her!) Anyways, she and my dad took the girls Friday evening after dinner at Chili's and I headed home- stayed up until midnight- and didn't get up on Saturday until 8. And 8:00 is sleeping in! It was fabulous! Even if I didn't sleep in too late, I was able to wake up on my own and not wake up to a crying toddler wanting out of her room and for me to fix her some milk. I ran errands all morning Saturday and got some CUTE things at Hobby Lobby for some photo sessions. I cleaned the entire house & was able to catch up on my photography blog. I never got that massage- turns out she was booked until mid February! Note to anyone who buys groupons: If you buy a massage or something, be ready to have to book at least a month in advance. There's a reason she's busy..... the groupon she posted was sold out pretty quick. So I still need to call to set up that massage/facial for something in February or March.
Sunday morning I woke up and finished laundry and other little things. I picked up our groceries and was able to get our dinner made up and put in the fridge- just ready to be popped in the oven once we got home from picking up the girls- and I even made Kent's lunch for Monday. Talk about being on top of my game! ;)
So all in all, this weekend was fantastic. While I had such a nice time having the weekend/house to myself, I was super excited to see the girls again. And Kent. ;)
And since blogs are no fun without pictures, here are a few I took of Kallie the other day. She is too funny. I love her personality!
