Clay and Lance took the kids to DC for the weekend, so that Nyx and I could have a break. What sweet, thoughtful husbands we have! They left Saturday morning at 7:00am. The goodbye was a little difficult because Madison started crying and didn't understand why I wasn't coming with them. Jocelyn just kept telling her, "Daddy said Mommy can't come."

The girls were excited to be going to the zoo!

Several of the animals were hiding because of the cloudy & rainy weather.

I made each of the girls a card and gave them to Clay to give to them sometime during the trip when they were missing Mommy. 
Madison liked the picture I drew of her and I on the back of the card. She kissed the picture of Mommy several times. :)*************************************
I enjoyed my time alone even though I missed them terribly. Saturday morning I went to the Norfolk Mall, then went to Home Goods and Tuesday Mornings in Virginia Beach. I was headed home when I saw that the tunnel had a 8 mile back-up, so I changed plans and did some shopping in Chesapeake before heading home. Once I got home I worked on planning and preparing for the next few weeks of homeschooling. Nyx called and we decided to go to dinner together at Red Robin. We then went to Mia & Maxx Salon to get our hair done. I got my haircut and Nyx got highlights. Since we didn't have to get up early this morning we decided to go see a late movie. We went to see "The Time Traveler's Wife," but 50 minutes into it Nyx decided we should have gone to see "The Proposal." So we were very bad girls and switched movie theatres. I can't wait for "The Time Traveler's Wife" to come out on DVD, because I can't stand the fact that I didn't see how it ended. Needless to say it was a very late night. We didn't get home until after midnight. Luckily we could sleep in this morning. Although I was still up by 8:00am. This morning I ran to Target to get the girls a little "Home Coming" & "Mommy Missed You" gift. The rest of the morning was spent working on homeschool stuff, doing laundry and watching a Lifetime movie I had recorded. It was a wonderful gift to have a day and a half all to myself. Thank you very much, Clay!
