I know you’ll forgive me my three days of bloggy silence.
My dad and his wife were here and gave the two of us a little kid-free time for our tenth anniversary.
Friday night we all went out together for dinner. Saturday morning, JediBoy had his last game of summer soccer, so we all went to that. Then JediBoy told us to go to a movie! The kids and the grandparents went to Chuck E Cheese, a playground, and out for ice cream. PisecoDad and I went out for Indian food then to see The Dark Knight.
We spent Sunday morning at home together, and then PisecoDad and I left - we went out to Sunday dinner, a spot of shopping and then tucked in to a jacuzzi suite overlooking the river at a hotel in a neighboring town. Our first overnight alone since the era B.C. (Before Children). It was very, very nice and relaxing.
The kids and grandparents did great until bedtime, going to see WALL-E in the second-run theater, looking for another playground and going out to eat and then out for ice cream again. BabyGirl did fine at bedtime and through the night, but JediBoy cried and spent the night in the office, dozing and playing video games. He told us when we met for breakfast today that we shouldn’t go away overnight again for another ten years!
After my dad left, I spent most of the day with one or both kids on top of me. We played, we read books, we talked and sang songs. Just now, PisecoDad took them out to run errands and then go to JediBoy’s soccer practice, so I have a little time alone… with last week’s learning notes and this week’s checklists staring me in the face, so I’d better put in some serious paperwork time! Or maybe finish the novel I’m reading…
