We dropped the kids off with Ben’s parent yesterday. After a little bit of sadness, Ben and I had a nice evening out. We went to a movie, did some shopping, and went to our favorite coffee shop. It was nice to be alone together. We haven’t been alone for a long period of time since we went to New York last year. It’s so nice to just be able to do what we want without the restraint of having to worry about the kids. We called to check on them today and they weren’t home but Ben talked to his Dad who said the kids don’t miss us at all. Funny! I knew they would have the time of their life with their Grandma and Grandpa. It’s nice for them to spend time with them since we aren’t able to visit much. Ben’s Mom was giddy with excitement of having the kids all to herself. I never had Grandparents like that. My kids are so lucky to have such involved Grandparents on both sides! Tonight Ben and I are going on a company boat cruise. It should be nice. We get dinner and a three hour boat ride around Lake Minnetonka.
