This is pretty typical weekend. Great experiences and cool outings.
Here is the but ... I am exhausted. Both Husband and I missed showering at least one of these days - I think Husband missed 2 days!
I am wondering. How will Mexico be different? Will it necessarily be better? I am looking forward to having a basis for comparison. Check with me in 6 months ...
P.S.
Listening to Oldest Son and Youngest Son DEEP in imaginative play with their Star Wars action figures utilizing newly cleared out play space. I love this - listening to the spontaneous play of happy children.
