Fitting It All In

Well - we did it. Our "Staycation" was a hit and we did it all. It is amazing what you can squeeze in a 5 day period. We hit Kings Island, the Zoo, Chuck E Cheese (yuck!),  bowling, a Red's game, swimming, water parks, hiking, lunches and dinners, ice creams and family over. It was exhausting but the boys had a blast! Getting up this morning was so hard - we put too much emphasis on work and not enough on our families and friends. Steve and I are both dreading working - it probably wouldn't be so bad if we both really enjoyed our jobs but we both have issues.

But that is another topic for another day. This week starts the new schedule of throwing school and homework into the mix of our already busy lives. As much as I love school and homework it is nice to go without. We met Brayden's teacher yesterday and she seems really nice. Being the small world that it is, she is Sean's neighbor - I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing that she knows we are related :) LOL.....

Thank you boys for a wonderful 5 days, you made me laugh, you made me cry, you made me love you even more. I cherished every moment we got to spend together and hopefully next year we will be able to go on a real vacation. You guys are the best! I love you and once I win that lottery I will not work anymore - miss you guys already :(

Here are some pictures of our wonderful staycation in no particular order.
