the Guys Weekend

Ryan and his buddies got together last minute for some guys time. They met in Nevada for some 12 degree dirt biking...So, I got to be home with the kids all by myself and it was really nice. Don't get me wrong, I missed Ryan, but I don't get time like this with my kids.

We slept in. Every morning Paxton and Gauge crawled into bed with me and we watched TV and slept together. I never get to do that.

We woke up, took Porter out for our regular walk and hung out all of the first day.

That night Sarah came over and had dinner with us. She and I talked until the wee hours of the morning. I love that girl!

The next day was about the same only I did something that I don't think I have done since I was a single gal. I stayed in my PJ's the whole day. The day started off the same, boys came in early and hung out in bed with me...we got up and played games...it was snowing when we first got up so we turned up the Christmas music and we made blue berry pancakes shaped like Santa, frosty, a christmas tree and the gingerbread man (I have a pan') then we made cinnamon ornaments for the tree, we cleaned some, watched the Wizard of OZ and How the Grinch stole Christmas and we played memory-a lot! But we did it all in our PJ's.

Then, Sarah came over with dinner that night, and she came in her pajamas too. She made us all dinner and we watched the Notebook after the kids went to bed. Not a good movie to watch when your missing your husband.

Here are some pictures of Gauge and Mommy hanging out in bed in the morning. He tries to be so tough...but you can't be too tough when mommy's kissing you.

Thanks for spending time with me kids. I didn't really take any pictures all weekend, but I loved every minute of hanging out with you. You are the sweetest, happiest kids I know and I love you all so much!
