Mommy Hallie Time

It's been a really special week. The boys are at VBS from 9 - 1230 this week and even get to have lunch there. Hallie and I get to have some mommy / daughter time. It's been such a treat. I'm enjoying it so much. We don't get the chance to have this much time together just the two of us with our busy lives. She's been such a delight!! I wasn't sure how she'd react to not get to go with her brothers, but she was so excited for Mommy Time. I was thinking today how strange it felt to have the boys gone. It made me think of what 'could be' next year if the boys went to school. Now that they are all three school age...it could just be me and Hallie. It was really quiet and really calm around here. It's amazing how much I could get done AND still get to play. I could get used to this. =) No, the one thing I noticed is I was watching the clock anxious to go get the boys. Things just aren't the same. It's been alot of fun for sure, but I wouldn't trade having them all home. But a taste was sure nice.... =)

Yesterday was Storytime at the library and a guy came with several different kinds of drums to show us. Bradley had said he'd rather go to that then VBS but I decided to have the boys go to VBS since they could come to library time next week and VBS is just this week. Hallie and I went to the storytime and the whole time I sat there feeling so guilty that I didn't bring the boys. They would have loved it. I felt terrible. I thought I made the wrong decision. We'll we went to go pick up the boys after VBS and the first thing Bradley said was, "I had SOOOOO much fun today!!" He began to tell me about the fun water fight they had and such. Boy was I relieved. I told him how bad I was feeling that I didn't take them to story time and now how glad I am that they were at VBS. I felt much better after that. Glad it all worked out in the end.
