weekend..

So Friday was Halloween, and this was the first year that I didn't go trick or treating with the kids. My mom took the kids trick or treating downtown after school (and they got their picture taken for the paper!) Then Kasey, Kaitlyn and Grant all headed up to elk camp with Grandpa! It was the weirdest thing ever to have the house to myself all evening and on Saturday. I didn't know what to do with myself. I went to bed early, got up on Saturday and did the usual cleaning and laundry. then what do I do, grocery shopping, then what... after that I was out of my element for sure. Kasey got home about 4pm on Saturday and I was all excited to see the kids. They had convinced Grandpa to stay an extra night at elk camp. So Kasey and I went out to dinner and had a date night. very cool! Sunday Kasey and I just kind of relaxed as it was raining outside but I was still out of my element as a mom. It was like I didn't know what to do without the kids home for the weekend. However, what a special time for them to spend with Grandpa. I remember my days as a kids up at hunting camp with my Dad and hanging out. Still such awesome memories. I just think my kids are blessed to have the best grandparents.
