Cabin Getaway

The past couple nights the boys and I were up north at Sharon's cabin with her, Becky and the girls. It was actually a lot of fun. The kids were amazingly great....all 10 of them! There were some crazy moments but it's when those times aren't happening that I begin to worry. We got to go to the library this morning for story time and watch Sharon dressed as Peter Rabbit act out the story. She was hilarious and the kids really enjoyed it.....well, Tyler made sure to tell us how torturous it was to be there with all those kids and be expected to listen to the story and sing songs. All the while watching intently and laughing along with the rest of us. That's okay, I understand he has a reputation to uphold in front of a room full of toddlers.
Trae did really well the whole time. No crying at night, no emotional meltdowns, no overreacting........until the drive home. He lasted 5 minutes and then began to cry because he missed the girls and didn't stop until Elk River. He stopped for about 15 minutes and then kept going until we got home, complete with stomach ache, headache, and pulling his hair. What is it about "home" that does this? I just don't know.
I believe Timmy and Trae were vying for Lily's attention the whole time. It was pretty cute actually. SHe's so sweet and they both practically followed her around. Timmy saved her a seat next to him at almost every meal. Could this be the start of a 20 yr. courtship. HA! Just kidding, I won't marry them off just yet. But dang, can I even think of better in-laws? No way.
Tony wants a baby in our home, I just know it. It could be because he came right out and asked not too long ago....or it probably because to watch him with Alison was so sweet. He just watched her and touched her head. He kept leaning in to hug her and when she would cry he'd get this look like "I didn't do anything to her" I think he was in awe of her. I can't wait to see him with baby Adam.
Other than the fact that I didn't stop eating for 3 days.....I had a great time. We played cards and games when the kids were quiet or outside and when they went to bed and I love to do that, so this was a good trip. Sharon mentioned to the boys that we'll do it again this summer.....I really hope that is true, cuz I'd be there in a heartbeat.

Lighthearted moment of the day....Tonight for no reason, Tanner came up to me and put his arms around me and said "Mom, you're my superhero, you're my superhero"
