Amanda has been asking me on a daily basis if today is the day we are going to Grandma's house. Are we going to the airport? Are we getting on a plane today? Everyday I have said, "not today" and then told her when we are leaving. Well, today is the day.
All three of the kids are so excited to go so they can see Grandma and their uncles and cousins, go to the beach, eat Grandma's yummy food and see friends who live in Florida. They are also excited because when we are at Grandma's house during Thanksgiving they get to stay up really late and go do lots of fun things and basically come home from vacation as one big hot mess from which it takes about a week to recover.
I like going to Grandma's house for all of those reasons (except the hot mess part) and because I have built in entertainment for the kids and the pressure is completely off. They are having so much fun with everybody else that they pretty much ignore me for most of the weekend and I get to spend a little time reading or shopping or surfing the web without anybody pulling on my pants or asking me for something.
That is one of the many things I am Thankful for.
