Yep - that's right. Jim and I are heading for Grand Cayman on May 31st for 7 days!!!!! We have a 2 bedroom condo on the beach, so my sister and her girlfriend are coming too. I can't wait!! It has been a LOOOoooong time since we went on a "real" vacation (you know, all adults and no kids). Of course I am a bit stressed thinking about leaving them for so long - Maddie will do fine - she is used to spending tons of time with her grandparents - she quite frankly - prefers it. Maci on the other hand has not spent that much time away from me (she will be 3 in September) and is a momma's girl. Which I totally LOVE, but trying to leave her for this length of time, will not be easy or her (or ME!).
I hope all of you moms out there had a great Mother's Day yesterday.....Mine was great. Maddie performed in the Children's Musical, "Rock Solid" (both services) and then afterwards we went to one of my favorite restaurants - Kyoto - love the hibachi grill places. It was Maci's first time there and it kinda freaked her out at first - but, once she started seeing the food dumped on her plate, her attitude quickly changed. I have never seen a 2 year old little girl eat so much in my life!!! She was dancing while she ate (that is how you can tell if she is really enjoying her meal!). Maddie was wowed at the "volcano" the guy made as well as fried rice shaped in a heart - he even made it beat. Very cool!
Afterwards, I tucked Maci in for a nap, and Jim took Maddie for a swim in our pool. So what did Momma opt to do........well, SHOP (of course!). I met my mother at Firewheel Mall and we had a great time together.
I promise I will post more regularly!!!!!
