Weekend - Kidless

About a month ago, we had mentioned to Ryan's parents that maybe they could take the kids for a weekend sometime...  well, we ended up picking a weekend, and this was it. 
Friday night we met them in a small town near by, ate supper, and they were off.  

Ryan and I went home... and ended up watching a movie on TV, which we haven't done in ages.  It was really nice, and relaxing... and quiet.  :)

Saturday, we slept in.  Literally - til 7:45.  WHAT!?!!?  It was nice, but man, my back ached!!!  We got up and started movin' slowly.  We ended up heading out around 9:30 and just did a bunch of errands - ran out to Lacey's salon, went to the mall, grabbed lunch, went to Homemakers (finally purchased a media unit for the basement!) and then headed home.  I did a load of laundry and we just kinda hung out.  Blair and Martina were in town as well (their kiddos were with Mike and JeanAnn as well)...  so we met up with them and had a drink.  It was nice to visit with them for a little bit.  They were then off to see Garth Brooks in concert, and we had dinner reservations at one of our favorite places, Malo.  

We had a nice dinner... then back home... and we watched another movie!  I wasn't nearly as interested in the Friday night movie, but it was still nice to just relax.  

We got up for church today... then Ryan stuck around for a meeting, while I came home and cleaned bathrooms.  It's funny cuz this entire weekend with no kids, I did no cleaning!  BUT the bathrooms needed it.  I got that done... and then Ryan and I headed to meet up with Mike to get the kids.  We met him in Mt. Ayr so we could see Grandma Ann.  We didn't see her at Easter, so we thought this was a good excuse to get down there, and also let the kiddos see her.  It was a nice short visit, then we headed back home.  The kids were beyond tired... and getting owly pretty quick.  They both were OUT on the way home... exhausted!!

Tonight we ordered pizza in... and just hung out.  The kids did pretty well, Cora was more than excited to be home and was really clingy to me.  Bedtime was again pretty bad for us.   Kayson said she did really well at Papa's, which is unfortunate that she can't do well here.  

Regardless, I think the kids had a good time.  Kayson talked a lot about it, told us some things him and Tate did, and he also said he's ready to go back, but hoping for better weather.  (It rained the entire time, so they couldn't go outside).  Huge bummer.  

Just a few pictures from the weekend.
