Friday morning Mom called and invited the kids to come for a long weekend visit...did I mention she JUST INVITED THE KIDS...meaning that J and I were kid-free from Friday - Monday. SWEEEEEEET!!!
So what did we do with all of that free time???
We went to Harpers for a nice dinner on Friday night. J and I are very fortunate, our kiddos typically behave pretty well in restaurants...but still it was SOOOOO nice to be able to eat my piping hot Pimento Cheese Burger, Sweet Potato Fries, and Brownie all while having an uninterrupted conversation with my husband - no cutting food into little bits, cleaning up messes, or poorly timed trips to the ladies rooms (thanks to G's fascination with public restrooms - YUCK!) And to top it all off, we used a Groupon so the whole deal cost less than $22.00 including tip!
Woke up Saturday morning at 7:30 - which believe it or not is late for me, worked on my Bible study in SILENCE, painted the hall bathroom vanity (I WILL finish this New Years Project at some point - hopefully before next New Years), helped J rake leaves (I know, I'm the best wife EVER for agreeing to this on my "vacation weekend"), then came my FAVORITE part....
J and I ordered pizza and snarfed it down sitting on the couch in front of the TV. Not a vegetable in SIGHT!!!!!!! (shhhhhhh - don't tell my kids) It was GREAT - I don't think we'd done that since before C was born :)
Sunday was church and a loooooooooong nap.
Monday morning I put another coat of paint on the vanity and headed to my parent's house for the night before returning with the kiddos this afternoon.
J and I had a great time, but one thing became painfully obvious...we are VERY boring people when our kids aren't around :)
not so...
