The kids played chase around the kitchen table for a really long time screaming and laughing at each other and enjoying playing together so much! It was adorable watching them.
Yesterday, I made burritos for Brent that were pretty spicy and the kids went nuts over them. I guess it's almost time for them to eat at the big people's table. Unfortunately, that will make me responsible for cooking dinner a lot more than I do now. Pew!
Aunt Zippy is coming into town tonight because tomorrow morning, we are going on a girl's trip to PUNTA CANA! I'm so excited that I could bust out a jig at any second! We are going on a 5 day all-inclusive trip where the booze flows freely and the minibars are stocked daily! I've been looking forward to this trip for almost three months and I can't believe we'll be there in less than 24 hours! I have to control my urge to hyperventilate with glee!!!!
On the other hand, yesterday I was a hot mess. I am so sad to leave my kids and I have already teared up a couple of times. I know that they will be with their daddy and in good hands, but they need me and I need them and I hope that I can have a good time despite my homesickness that I'm already suffering from and haven't even left yet. I worry so much about plane crashes and the Urine (Joran) Van Der Sloots of the world that it does take away from my excitedness more than it should. My kids are everything. They are my heart and soul. They define me and have given my life more meaning then I ever thought I was meant to have. My hands get shaky with nervousness at the idea of being apart from them let alone the idea of having my time with them cut short. I've had a knot in my throat about it since yesterday.
It's crazy feeling this worried and this excited at the same time. Laura has never been out of the country and I'm so excited that I get to share that experience with her! Hopefully, I'll have good pics next week (if I make it back in one piece!)!

Have fun and enjoy yourself! I know exactly how you feel about leaving those little ones...we leave on Wednesday and I haven't slept more than 5 hours in the past 3 days just thinking about it. Just don't do any drunk dialing home and you'll be fine.
When I left Aidan for a few days I was a wreck too. But, I made Sam post "proof of life" pictures to the blog so I knew Aidan was okay and hadn't gone feral by living alone with his dad for a few days! I highly recommend this. :)
You will have a wonderful time!!! I will send blessings your way everyday.
I loved seeing the box tunnel, what fun. Took me back a few years!!!
