Kleenex Please

self timer didn't work so well this time

As much as I look forward to getting away with Doug for a few days, I couldn't help but get a little teary today. This is the first time in 10 years we have EVER left our kids. I know they will be in the best hands, I just hope my kids don't put her into labor! I told Angie she wasn't allowed to have the baby until Monday. I can honestly say the best part of the day is the morning and evening when my kids give me hugs and kisses. Last night I couldn't squeeze them enough or this morning for that matter. I love you Taylor, Jared, Luke and Weston. Mind you P's and Q's and I will see you Sunday! All my love, mom.

Hope you two have tons of fun. I've never left my boys either, but Jackson is just almost 5, so you are double our time. It seems like they are in the best of hands. Hey-I wonder how many times you guys talk about your kids while you're gone. That's usually all we do when we are just out on a date. Ha!

Have a great trip. I can't wait to read all about it.

I think you'll find that the kids don't miss you a bit. Saying good-bye is the hardest but I'm always fine the second we're out of sight. I know you'll have a great time and you'll want to plan a get-away at least once a year!

Have safe travels!

I'm so that way. We go overnight somewhere and can't wait to see our boys again. You will have a fantastic time, I'm sure. Can't wait to hear the details!

Enjoy this time alone with your husband. I think that it is essential to go away with your spouse at least once a year, every year!
Can't wait to see the photo when you return!

HAVE fun and enjoy this weekend with DOUG.
OH and take pictures :)!!!!

Courtney said...

Have a great kid-free vacation with your hubby! So Fun! Come home refreshed and renewed and your kids will LOVE that probably more than if you hadn't left them at all!

So jealous - we are trying to find some time to "get away" kid-free.

Have so much fun! Can't wait for the report.

Kari said...

I have those same worries, I think it's worse because we don't hardly ever get away either (like one time away from everyone but Tyler 2 years ago).

I'm sure they will be well cared for! Have a GREAT time!!!

Melinda said...

I am so sad I couldn't come to the get together tonight! I hope you are having a fun night. With 2 kids sick and Jason couldn't commit to a time when he could come home from work I knew it wasn't going to work out for me. Have a great time.

Chanel Palmer said...

melanie said...

Kristin said...

Have fun!! ;)

Just a quick note to say the kids are fine. They are having fun and I never realized how loud all seven of them can be when they are all in the same space. We even all squished in the van and drove out to the check on the house. That was a sight and sound I haven't experienced in a while. Have fun and know we are taking care of them and no one has been spanked are punished yet. hehehe

Liz said...

Seriously? Not even for one night? Well, it's about time! I hope you have a great time!

I hope that your having a wonderful trip! The photo of you, and the kids is so sweet!
