A Little Break
Wow, thanks for everyone who made the break possible that Kris and the kids and I took this weekend, let me break it down for you:
Wednesday night -- 10 minutes before 20 people showed up at our hosue for a leadership meeting -- both girls throw up -- not a good thing
Thursday -- sick kids all day -- Kris and I feeling like we were going to get sick because of sick kids all day
Friday -- we sorted and shredded 5 garbage bags of old documents, junk and stuff. Wow, we collect a lot of stuff-- We have committed (again) never to let it get that bad
Saturday -- after all 3 kids said they were feeling good, we took off -- one game of bowling with bumpers -- makes the game so much more fun :) , drive to a hotel with a pool -- good times -- gave the kids a choice in where we would eat -- they chose McDonalds over Appplebees -- Kris and I got outvoted. Went to a grea church service, back to the hotel for more swimming and then to bed. Woke up later than usual, had breakfast, one more dip in the pool and off to home to watch basketball, and see the FIELD of 65. Homework that we forgot about, ended the weekend.

Thanks again -- great to connect with the kids in a deeper level and make memories that will last forever -- the power of going away, of unplugging, of living life together -- good stuff.

Monday morning and we are cranking again -- looking forward to a great week!
