Take a Hike!

Well, the kids went back to school today. Usually after two weeks off, I am ready for them to go back to school! But we had so much fun together over the holidays that I just wanted it to keep on going and going and going! B.O.O. H.O.O!
I am suffering from some serious separation anxiety!

Anyway!!

We had a bunch of fun filled days to end our 2 week joy ride that included a hike on a nearby trail. Daisy and I stayed home cuz it was our naptime but DaddyO and GrandpaM took Lily, Ashton and Bailey on their first hike EVER! We all thought that they would hike around for about a half an hour and then cry to come home. The kiddos surprised us all and ended up hiking 6 miles with VERY LITTLE whining or crying! Lily took her new camera and except for the photos she is in, she took all of the pictures from their adventure!

On Saturday we got some sitters (grandparents) and DaddyO and I got to have a date night! YAY!! To celebrate my birthday. We had a fabulous dinner ALL BY OURSELVES and went to see Sherlock Holmes. I made DaddyO take our picture while we were waiting for the movie to start. I'm pretty sure we blinded everyone sitting behind us cuz his blackberry has a seriously bright flash!

And even though 3 of my  cuties are away, Daisy and I have a little visitor who will be keeping us busy on a regular basis.

We get to watch C-Ray a couple times a week!

Until we figure out a new schedule for the 3 of us, blogging could be a bit interesting!

I was a little worried about how Daisy would handle the competition but she just thought he was a dolly and kept reaching out her arms for me to hand him to her. She only yelled "Ma! Ma!" (mine) at him once when he was sitting in HER seat! (my lap)

Have a Great Week Everyone!
