It wasn't that bad . . .

So Ryan had a boys only trip to McCall planned for this past weekend and to tell you the truth I was sort of (okay, a lot) scared to be alone with both kids . . . by myself (did I mention it would just be me - no one else?). Let me be the first to say that it is a miracle that I haven't been alone with both of them before for more than a day and I know there are a lot of mom's out there that do this everyday (some with more than two kids) and they are probably rolling their eyes at me, but I can't help how I feel. I was fearing the unknown. I was picturing all three of us in tears come Sunday afternoon as Ryan pulled into the driveway.

Fast forward to Sunday afternoon and no one was in tears! We all had a great time without Daddy (although we did miss him!). We did have one minor meltdown in Albertson's (not me, the older kid), but that was my fault as I pushed it and did one errand too many on Saturday morning. This weekend turned out to be a blessing in disguise for me and it was so much fun to bond with my kids and fall even more in love with them. I am one lucky Momma to such amazing kiddos.

Seriously, how can you not have fun with these two?

They are the cutest. Even when Drew pulls his sister's hair:

Good job Heather!! You are lucky your husband does not travel a lot, Nick travels lots for work and it is hard, and I have been doing it for years. Your kiddos are just adorable!!
