Heaven.

Well, not quite. But heaven on earth maybe. Zac and I are enjoying a much needed weekend away from the kids! Yes, 2 whole nights of quiet and peace. It is quite possible that the house may actually stay clean for 2 days, and maybe, just maybe, I will sleep past 6:30 a.m for 2 days.

In all seriousness, we are very thankful for Nana and Papa who were willing to take the boys and have a big "sleepover" at their house. I told Joel that we were going on a little trip and he and Jesse would stay with them. He looked at me with big eyes and said "like Nana and Papa's trips?" (That would be when they go to California for weeks at a time). "No, no, Buddy. Just a little tiny trip". He was comforted by that and apparently keeps telling them that mommy and daddy are just on a little, tiny trip.

This just works out so great for everyone--grandparents get some alone time with the boys which they love, mom and dad get some alone from the boys, which they love, and the boys get a change of scenery and undivided attention, which they love. See, everybody wins!!

Thanks, Mom and Dad!

Yes, we all had a great. Nana and Papa went to bed a little earlier than usual on Sunday night.
