We sent our "big" boys to Houston to be with Rick's parents for 4 days. This is our first time ever sending them off without us. They were SO excited. Nano (R's mom) took them swimming, bike riding, to the museum to see the dinosaur exhibit, and the list goes on and on. They then went to Melissa's horse farm (R's sister) to play with their cousins & fishing with Granddaddy. What a great time they are having.
In the mean time.... Life at our house is really well, quiet! We spent our last 4 days with 2 kids saying wow this is really easy! What do people do with 2 kids? Well for one they have conversations! Imagine that?! I don't know how many times we said "it's so quiet" over the last 4 days.
Here is what it looks like to have 2 kids.
They play quietly. There is NO fighting. I have not referred a fight since Sat. 
They share their toys. There is no competition between them. They are not the same age. ha!
This has been refreshing. I think I will sign them up for summer at Nano's! :) Don't get me wrong we miss our little buddies, they add a lot of life to our house. But sometimes a little break from 1,000 questions a day, and the constant fighting between child #2 and child #3 can be a good thing to keep a mommy sane.

You have waited far too long! Matthew and I have regularly sent one or both kids to the GPs for sometimes a night or once, a week, so we could have some mucho importante bonding time to ourselves. I think GPs are such a blessing to every parent, and I have often told mine how having parents like ours has made it easier to be good parents ourselves. :)
