Beautiful Day!

WHAT a beautiful day!

I have no idea if I am feeling so well because I am getting better or if it's because Alan and I are going away for a few days for our 10th anniversary...ALONE!

We have never gone away together since having kids. Not even overnight. So this is a really big deal for us... even though we are just going here.

I have a dear friend who is amazing with kids and she has agreed to take the boys for a few days.

I told the boys yesterday, so it wasn't a big surprise... Liam cried on his bed for nearly 30 minutes...:(... I decided that I had to figure out some things about staying at Debbie's he would find exciting.

Our conversation went a little like this:

ME: "Liam, did you know Debbie has two teenage daughters? They know how to read and will read you stories!!!!!"

LIAM: "But I want YOUUUUUUU!"

ME: "Debbie has Two DOGS!!! I bet you could help take them for a walk!"

LIAM: "But I WANT to stay with YOUUUUUU!!!"

ME: "Debbie has a HOT TUB!!!!"

LIAM: "*sniff* Really? But you will be gone too long!?"

ME: "Did you know Debbie's husband is a Police Officer?"

LIAM (no longer crying): "REALLY????!!!! Does he have a GUN?".


I think he is over it.
