Last Sunday my in-laws came and took my three youngest to New Mexico for the week. This is a Summer tradition that we have been doing since Aubrey was 5. They spend the week swimming and learning what hard work is all about. They learn to help plant a garden, pull weeds and pick up rocks. One year my father in law paid them 1 cent for every rock they picked up out of the garden. I think Devin ended up making $22.00. That is a lot of rocks. It is great for them and me. It gives me such a nice break and I really do miss them by the end of the week.
Aubrey is at youth conference until Saturday. She is too old to go hang out with her grandparents for a week. This stopped a couple of years ago for her. So, I am childless until Sunday. What do I do with my time?

Come hang out with me because I am childless too! :)
Ummm - I'd opt to sit and stare at the wall - enjoying the feeling of boredom. :)
I would read a good book, but then there is the problem of finding a good book to read!
That is so cool of your in-laws! What I nice time. Alejandro has been gone for a week and I am dying to have a little break... wow...a week that is just such a dream. Enjoy!
How fun! Enjoy your week! You deserve it!
