Flyin' the Coop...


I feel a little bit like a traitor. I don't know if that is normal or not, but it is what it is. I am leaving the nest for a girls weekend - no boys allowed. :)


I think the grand total of nights spent without Kaelster in his entire 19-Months is three, and one of those was in the hospital when Dax came along.


As for Dax-Man, well, this will be a first. And I know it will be good for me to stretch my own atrophied wings and fly solo for a while - and I'm stoked - REALLY - It'll be fun - to just be Amber - with the girls - shopping and eating and talking non-stop. So don't think I am pathetic for being a little apprehensive and introspective about the whole ordeal. Promise?
OK, now that I have your word...


In preparation for the baby-less weekend, I'm posting some cute pictures of my little dudes. Mostly because I know my internal Mommy alarm clock will go off at seven a.m. and I'll be killin' time in the lobby of the hotel until about nine when my sister finally wakes up... it'll help to adore them from afar in the morning hours. And also, because lately, I laugh and think it is kind of amazing how many people ask me if they're twins when I dress them in matching or coordinating duds. Really?


I have purchased all their favorite foods and snacks and juices including some good stuff for my "big boy". RyGar will have it made as he camps out in his fully stocked casa with his little minis for a few days. And don't tell him I said so, but I think he's pretty excited about his little Bachelor party without me. :)


And I am too. Excited to miss them. Weird as that sounds. Excited to call them each night and talk to them on the phone. Excited to have Ry on clean-up duty as opposed to yours truly.
So that's it. I'm out.
Happy weekending...
From the one that got away. :)

Enjoy your trip, and I am sure all the boys will miss you terribly but somehow survive. Have fun, I am envious!

LOL... When Sadie was two and Kelsey was like... 3 months old (I mean BIG difference in size there) I had them both in the stroller and lady asked me if they were twins? I was so tempted to say yes...lol...

i just got back and i gotta say, it was tough to leave spring-like st. george!!! hope you have a fantastic time and enjoy some time without the kids. i had all these things i was going to do while i was there by myself, but then i remembered i was by myself with my kids and got nothing done. which was fantastic actually--so do nothing and love it!!!

i wouldn't feel to bad just yet. wait til you get back and find out what they did. for example, maybe some dancing girls will show up for the "girls are gone lets have a party boys night out"...just a thought!

So glad that you are getting some time to yourself. I'm a firm believer in giving yourself a break. Can't wait to hear about your adventures!
