For weeks and weeks the boys (Geoffrey & CJ) have been planning their first “Boys Only” camping trip. The UPS man became a close friend as he made numerous trips up our steps to deliver camping equipment every few days!!!
The day finally arrived… Sunday morning CJ woke up and told his sister how much he was going to miss her but not to worry because he will be writing and MAILING her lots of letters and photos. I don’t think he quite understood that their trip would only be for 2 nights…. not 2 months!!! He left a picture of himself on my wall too – so I would not forget him!
Skyler and I could not wait for our time alone. We had all kinds of “Girly” activities planned. We gave ourselves pedicures while sipping on hot tea and eating Pannekoek (crepes). We watched Extreme Home Makeover and read the Chronicles of Narnia. Our fun was just starting!!!! We woke up Monday morning with great excitement for a full day of MORE female bonding!!! But alas…
At about 12 pm our doorbell rang. The boys stood their with huge grins on their faces!!!! Poor things looked exhausted! Apparently they had come close to frostbite, got stung by a bee in the middle of the night and ended up sleeping in the van! Then to top it off it started raining!!! They decided that they just missed us too much and would rather snuggle with us in a warm, cozy bed.
Skyler exclaimed: ”Go back! We’re not done having girly fun yet!”. But a trip to ToysRus and a dinner date at Mimi’s with Mamma made it all better!
That’s HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
