Their going away!

Yeah!!  Both of the kids are going to a sleep over tonight.  They have both agreed to go to their grandfather’s for the night.  And if your wondering if this is a huge deal, yes it is!  My daughter is 9 and has only been away over night once (when she was 8 months old) and my son who is seven has NEVER slept away from home.  So yes, this is a HUGE step for both of them.  He wanted them to stay the night this past Sunday but neither one would because they didn’t have any of their stuff.  So you can bet that I’m going to make sure to pack everything they could ever need in life to ensure that they enjoy their sleep over and then they may possibly do this again.

If everything goes right, their grandfather will pick them up shortly before supper and then when my husband gets home from work, we will be able to go out to dinner.  Oh man, I almost forget what it’s like to have dinner out without two little people fidgeting around.  And then for the first time in nine years I’m going to get an excellent night’s sleep without worrying about whether one or two kids will be getting up in the middle of the night.

But, if things go like they normally do in my life I can expect a phone call that one or both of them will want to come home and I’ll be driving down the road at midnight to pick them up.  Oh well, wish me luck and I’ll be sure to let you all know how Grampie and the kids make out on their little adventure.
