I could write this entire post in about one sentence: my in-laws came to town and I had hot showers, hot meals, more sleep than I’ve seen in a while, a date with my husband, a day to myself, AND A PEDICURE. DONE. CLOSE THIS CHAPTER, I’ve gone to heaven. I won’t blather on about borrowing my mother-in-law’s awesome sports car, driving around town listening to 80’s music all by MYSELF….but let me say, it was wicked cool. It was like front row seats at a Janet Jackson concert circa 1993 great. Oh wait, and everyone you’re with has ID. Yeaaahhh baby.

Grandmommy and Grandaddy can steal my children for a day any time.  Actually having a moment to “miss” my children felt pretty good.

It’s hard to see what I’m holding, but it’s Brycey’s Robot Toy.  We left it for Santa with a note, “written” by Sara with a request to drop it off at his house while he’s unloading Brycey’s presents.  So we left Santa cookies and a McDonaldland Toy, and some carrots for the reindeer.  Excitingly enough, when we scattered the glittered-filled oats all over the front lawn for the reindeers, we found a small present Santa left on his way by with a message that he’ll be back later with the rest of the presents!
