Our Weekend at Home



There is NOTHING better than a vacation at home!!!
No packing, no planes, no possibility for disappointment...
Just relaxing and having fun at my favorite place on the planet with my favorite person on the planet!!
Sam and I spent the weekend at home... just the two of us...
Pop & Lali (Sam's parents) LOVE our boys... they are REALLY FUN grandparents that love to take the boys to the lakehouse for the weekend... a weekend full of trampoline, fishing, golf cart rides, feeding the goats, and so on, and so on...
That makes our weekend that much sweeter.. knowing that our boys are having a blast and wonderfully loved!
So, what was our plan... relax, relax, and get those projects done that we just can't do with our little dudes here!
And we.did.that!!!
We went out Friday night after Sam fished with his dad and I got a massage and pedicure... thanks Tracy!
Sam said, "Anywhere you want to eat honey!" After many ideas... we decided... Ryan's... all you can eat buffet for $8.99! Jealous, aren't ya!! Then we came home, turned on my dancin' music, and began to take our kitchen cabinet doors and handles off.

After Sam learned a few of my dances and the cabinets were dismantled... we hit the hay... getting ready for a BIG project day the next morning!
We slept in til a whopping 6:35am... but we woke up on our own time... enjoyed a cup of coffee and then hit the ground running... me, to the kitchen and Sam, to the yard.
Whatcha think...



We're having sooo much fun making this house our home... one little project at a time...
After a long day of work... we grilled out steaks, baked sweet potatoes, and enjoyed it all on our back patio... talking and eating and being silent on that beautiful evening... soon we went in, got cleaned up from our long day, curled up on the couch with a pint of Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream... the BEST... and watched a movie... shall I say fell- asleep- to- a- movie!
Woke up the next morning, chilled around the house... got our boys new discipline plan in order and allowance and chore plan re-established... now... we are ready for those sweeties to get home!
Sam headed to the lake while I taught a dance lesson and went grocery shopping...
when I got home, I opened the door and heard 5 of the sweetest voices I could ever hear...
one of the my big man who I just spent a glorious and precious weekend with and four little voices that my heart was yearning for once again...
Two in this home is really nice, but Six here is just Heaven on Earth!
