I love three day weekends! Earlier this week Ben decided he would head up to Phoenix to change out the brakes on our van with the help of his dad. So, with a three day weekend the rest of us decided to tag along. We arrived later than expected on Friday so we all decided to sleep at Moma and Opa's instead of dividing and conquering. Sorry, Aunnie! We will be sure to catch you next time.
Yesterday was the best day! We woke up to a fabulous cool breeze and an impending rainstorm. We had yummy bagels for breakfast and the brakes were done by 9! With the whole day ahead of us what else was there to do but shop! We headed first to Goodwill and scored some great outdoor toys for the kiddos to enjoy when they come for visits to Moma and Opa's house. Then we scooted over to IKEA for more fun. My Little Reader and the Princess in Training had a ton of fun at Smalland while Sugar and Spice had three grownups all to himself! He was in heaven. We got some great ideas for different ways to organize our new playroom and some ideas for new beds for the girls. And somehow, as always happens when visiting IKEA, we left with $50 of random things.
A yummy lunch was had and then nap time for the kids, tv time for Ben, and more shopping for Moma and me!
Although, I know better I was sucked in by Bookman's and brought home three new books. Not sure when I will have time to read them... maybe next month during fall break.
The best part of the day was our "let's-hurry-to-Godiva-before-they-close-end-of-the-day-chocolate-run!"
As we left town today we also got to stop by and visit with Uncle Mikey and tour his new home!
It probably sounds like an ordinary run of the mill kind of Saturday. But it was great! Restful and fun. The kids love to spend time with the Phoenix Moma and Opa. It was the perfect 1 day vacation from real life! Exactly what I needed to refresh my spirit and get me ready for another week of school.
But alas, as the title says all good things must come to an end... sadly they did when 2 hours after coming home Sugar and Spice had a super tummy ache that resulted in a bath, a load of laundry, and a bucket of bleach to the tile. No fun... not for anyone. At least he is better now. And because it was a three day weekend I still have tomorrow to look forward to! Here's hoping his tummy was the result of chocolate milk, then at least I can be assured it won't be passed on to his sisters! Wish us luck!

It was a great treat, wasn't it! I loved the creaking of a door when little bugs would come to climb into bed with us!! The excitement of picking out backyard toys was almost as much fun as picking out Godiva~~ well almost! I'm sorry little guy got sick. What a rotten way to knock you back to reality. How right you are - all good things must end....well until the next good thing!
