This weekend the kids are going to spend the WHOLE weekend with Craig's parents. Craig is going to meet them in Brookings for supper and then the kids will go home with his parents. So what are we going to do this weekend? We are going to organize the basement, go to Craig's company picnic, have a date night Saturday night, and relax around the house on Sunday. Its alos a weekend where we don't have much of anything going on (rare for the way the summer has been) and can just enjoy each others company again.
Its so easy to loose your connection with your spouse when you are running kids here and there, busy schedules, house projects, and just over all busyness. I can't wait to have some time to just hang out with Craig again. I have forgotten what that is like!!!
The kids are SUPER EXCITED to go! My in-laws are wonderful people and have been planning things to do since the beginning of July! They are so cute! I'm glad the kids have grandparents that love to hang out with them. I never really had that growing up. So I am blessed to have both sides that love to have the kids. Plus it gives Craig and I a nice break! I will miss the kids but I know they are in good hands and will be having a blast!

We have always felt that couple time is critical to our marriage. When our kids were the ages of yours we made it a priority to take an overnighter once or twice a year to get away and just be together. Sometimes we just went down the road to Holland (that's where Craig went :) which is only about 20 minutes from home. It was always so good for us and the kids loved time with grandparents or cousins who came to stay with them. You guys have fun and relax, enjoy, and reconnect!
yeay for you - how was the weekend alone? I hope it was productive and great fun - with rest and laughs and sweet thoughts and words.
