Dave's (and Audrey's) School Break

Two weeks. Two fabulous weeks. Two weeks filled with staying up really late and taking turns sleeping in, watching season five of Lost (can't wait for Feb 2!), lots of movies, lots of relaxing cuddle time, spending time with friends, getting a babysitter to go Christmas shopping together, drive through for dinner (it was my break too), and lots of quality time together that made me fall in love with my husband all over again. For the 2,232,5928th time.

We did have a list of things to accomplish.

1) Turn guest bedroom into toy room (sorry guests, you will now be sleeping next to the toys, but it makes the kids happy) and play for hours with Joshua in the princess tent. Check. Yes, that is Dave's foot coming out. Dave was Joshua's favorite guest. And yes, that is an outta control jumbo sized Audrey on our wall. The people from Pottery Barn Kids were so nice to give her poster to us. Hope it doesn't scare our guests when they roll over in the middle of the night and see a daring, ginormous bumble bee.

2. Go on bike rides. Check.

 

3. Take Dave to the Arboretum. Check.

They had over 500 different nativities from all over the world set up. I loved this one.

4. Go to the zoo. Check.

Audrey did not like the noises that were played in the "cave section"...bats and rattle snakes.

5. Get a little teary on that dreaded Monday morning when I woke up at 7 am and Dave was long gone back to school. Check.
