Home Vacation!

As I sit here pondering what to blog today, I have to say there is something to be said about vacation's at home. This last week, we spent our vacation at home, and we had such a good, relaxing time. Some pro's to the stay at home vacation..... you get to sleep in your own bed, so that means better sleep. The kids get to take their naps still, so they aren't cranky, plus getting to sleep in their own beds at night, so everyone is well rested. Getting back to the nap, I have to say, I took a nap almost everyday, I haven't done that since Ian was born. We got some work done around the house, which probably otherwise wouldn't have gotten done. I got drawers, cabinets, cleaned out that have been in need of organization for a long time now. That felt great. It's the little things, you know. We got our kitchen area painted. We didn't get to the whole house, but at least we got that done. We had some fun time too. Brian got to take the kids to their lapsit class at the Library, so he got to experience that time with them. We stuffed ourselves and played at Incredible Pizza. Izze got to ride the go carts with Brian this time. She was so cute sitting back in the seat, you could hardly see her. Ian was running from one thing to the next, that was his first experience there, except when he was first born. We jumped and slide at the bouncin craze place until mommy and daddy were worn out. Those things are a lot of work to get up and down, you know? We ate good food, so I got a break from the cooking, Hurray! Of course our vacation wouldn't be complete without the shopping part. We did our normal Mall, and headed down to Marshall's a day too. We had a date night where we just did Christmas shopping, so that was fun, and had dessert together at Barnes and Noble. I have to say we had great family time, it was fun! Today, Izze ask if daddy was going to be home all day today, and I told her no, but in a few days he would be home again all day. She said, "oh, that's not good". She is something. Couldn't have asked for a better vacation.
