And all the while my girls frolicked in these leaves that had had the nerve to fall to the ground without first changing color.
And they had the time of their lives! They rolled in them, threw them in the air, and even buried eachother in them. And Life Was Good!
And they had the time of their lives! They rolled in them, threw them in the air, and even buried eachother in them. And Life Was Good!Then I had this birthday. And it was okay as far as birthdays go. Just a normal day of regular stuff. But I did have something to look forward to...
An amazing overnight trip to Billings with my husband. ONLY my husband. No Children. It was a dream come true. And I didn't even feel guilty when at 11:00 p.m. I realized that I had not called to check on my kiddos. In fact, I had not given them a second thought since we left home. I think it was some sort of a break through!
I had been able to enjoy an entire meal without feeding, wiping, hushing, or pulling my hair out. I had been able to put on my swimming suit and sit in a hot tub at our hotel and thoroughly enjoy it. I actually closed my eyes and smiled as I listened to some little girls splashing and screaming in the pool...because they were not mine.
Relaxing, eating, shopping, spending time with my true love. It was Heaven - and it was the best birthday present in the whole world. I wonder if we will ever get to do it again - I hope so!
And as for Halloween, well it was fun. The girls had been excited for weeks about their costumes and trick or treating. We made it back from our weekend just in time to get the girls into their costumes and load them up to go collect their candy. I think they had fun. But I think they had even more fun handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters that came to our house. The sound of the doorbell sent them into quite a frenzie!!

Sounds like you had a great birthday. I love those times! Your girls are so cute! I love their costumes!
YAY for the weekend alone!! The girls are adorable as always, glad you had a fun Halloween!
Your little girls are so cute! Glad your birthday gift was just wanted you wanted! :)
I completly understand how wonderful it is to have a weekend with just your husband. Thats what I did for my birthday and it was worth every penny.
It is very rude of a leaf to fall from the tree without changing colors. Very rude, indeed.
As for your trip, you'd better do it again! I am a huge proponent of getaways for moms and dads, even if that means you send the kids to grandmas and vacation at home. Nothing rejuvinates a marriage than time alone together. It helps you remember why you liked each other in the first place. :0) I vote for another getaway next year. Do I get a vote?
Such cute pictures, love their Halloween costumes. Sounds like you had a fun birthday get away, lucky.
We are moving to Salt Lake area. Andrew starts a new job on Monday and so we have to leave sunny St. George :( We are excited to live by our families, but bummed to leave everyone here.
