Weekend getaway

I was lucky enough to sneak off this past weekend.  This is something that rarely happens.  It's so hard sometimes to pull away from our busy lives to make time away.  But my childhood best girlfriends and I set this weekend aside six months in advance.  Laura and Kristen and I have been friends for over 26 years.  We have experienced so much life together they almost feel like sisters.  Through grade school, high school, college and as bridesmaids in each other's weddings - we have shared so much!  

We spent the weekend in Chicago!  Lots of laughs and quality time catching up.  Good for the soul!

And while I was away - the kids enjoyed "daddy camp!"  The had a blast bonding with their dad over Deweys pizza, Graeters ice cream and swimming at the pool.  Life was pretty good for them too!

And when I came home on Sunday - the 

house was clean, the grocery shopping was done, laundry folded and the kids were happy!

I think this just means I need to get away more often.......
