Vacation

I had some vacation days left that I needed to use before the end of the year.

I took last week off to be home with my kids.

I learned a few things:

1. Paid vacation days are a great time to potty train a 2 year old
Which I'm proud to say is going pretty dang great!
And all it took was a penny gumball machine.

2. I didn't get to sleep in, not even for a minute.

3. I still don't clean my house even when I'm home for 5 days straight.

Plus, what's the point when kids are home
Destroying everything faster than you can clean it.

4. I can have dinner made by 3 o'clock every day

{my husband teases me relentlessly for that one}

5. I read an entire book during the short naptime hours.
"The Art of Racing in the Rain"
Good read {more about that later}

6. I find as many ways to get out of the house as humanly possible.

7. I Absolutly LOVE spending time with my kids,

snuggling in our jammies until right before dad gets home from work,

going to get a coke/slushie {in said jammies} at 9:30am, yes we have a problem.

I still have a few of those Vacation days left

to use before the end of the year.

I am looking forward to them.
