Girls Night In

There was no way I was coming home to an empty house for 5 days while Kyle and the kids were in NY, so I made some plans of my own. After I dropped them off at the airport, (holding back tears), I headed down to Provo for a few days. My little sister Jenny has just graduated from BYU and is living there & working, so I went and stayed with her. We hung out, went to the movies, went to the pool, ate out, and stayed up way too late. I felt like I was right back in college. I was there till Friday when I came home to get ready for my sleep-over.
After I found out Kyle was leaving me home and I was going to have the house to myself, I sent out an e-mail to my sisters and sister-in-law to clear their schedules for the 25th and 26th. As luck would have it everybody was able to come. We started with a nice dinner while catching up on what everyone had been up to. Everybody brought a snack to share and we ate, and talked and laughed and ate some more till 3 in the morning. Saturday started with some more candy and cookies for breakfast, pancakes for brunch, then we got ready and spent the day shopping. It was so much easier shopping with out the kids. The fun did end as husbands and kids started calling, but we had such a good time we have decided to make this a tradition.

Here we are at the mall just before everybody had to take off. Everybody found something to buy at one store or another so the shopping was a success.
