2 days

Jill has graciously offered to have my kids over for another sleep over for the next two days. Dare I say she misses them! I'm grateful for this opportunity because it's one thing to go on vacation without kids, but it's an entirely different ball game to be home with all you stuff and no kids. Adam asked me last night what I was going to do with all my time and I wasn't entirely sure. Usually I'm scrambling about trying to make all the time count, but getting today and tomorrow I've relaxed a bit. I was up by 6am showered, eaten, and posted before 8am so I'm right on my way to making the most of this day.



The other day while I was working on my Europe photos Bella and Tess pulled out the scrapbooks and started looking through them. I love that they're enjoying them because really it's the reason I started doing it in the first place. Unfortunately, I haven't been scrapbooking as much as I would like and quite honestly it makes me sad. I love documenting life in such a way and it's proving to be a great way for us all to relive those moments. I am grateful that blogging has helped me to remember times, thoughts I've had that would have already been lost, but I miss the act of it. I love creating in that way.

So today I think I will stay at home, be a home body if you will, and scrapbook. Tomorrow....maybe shopping. Still not there yet.

enjoy your thursday!

We all missed the girls and have wanted to have them back over, so it's all good. I wish you guys lived closer so we could do this more often and during the school year. I know Salt Lake isn't technically so far, but it's not really a drop by, trade date night babysitting kind of place. Something to consider eh??

Enjoy your freedom and make sure to post all your genius creations!

Most of the time my dream is to just stay home with no kids. I feel most relaxed at home and would love the time to refresh!

Enjoy every second!!

That was very sweet of Jill to do that. FUnny I was just telling Doug the other day how great it would be for our family to be closer so we could spent time at "home" on vacation to get stuff done. That is something I definitely look forward to.

Enjoy your personal time!

You are one lucky girl! Hope you are soaking up every minute and that the day is passing very slowly so you have plenty of time to do it all!

I agree, my favorite thing in the world is to be home alone with a chance to do whatever I want to do. A rare opportunity.
