Home Sweet Home

Vacation is nice...really it is. But there's just something about home that beats it all. The comfort of your own bed at night, the sameness of your routines, your own cooking. We had a wonderful time on the Outer Banks. We walked to the top of the Hatteras Lighthouse and oh what an amazing view it was. We saw what was left of the ponies on Ocracoke.....I saw them when I was MUCH younger and it saddened me to see them now. We played in the ocean till we were water and sandlogged. We say every year that next year we're only going away for 3-4 days. That that is about the right amount to not have extremely worn out children. And every year we forget. By Thursday oldest ds was showing signs of exhaustion and so was one of the girls. Friday they were tired but kept on going. By this time ds is not hungry though. I checked for fever. Seriously this kid eats more than any little person I have ever seen. For him not to eat is major! Saturday dd was begging to come home. We had one last event with all the extended family (I did mention this week was spent with all my inlaws right?) and she about lost it at the restaraunt. I ended up taking her and ds out to the van to lay down till everyone else was done. The homecoming yesterday was joyous. The closer we got the more the kids perked up. Of course dh took his own sweet time backing the trailer in the drive before anyone could get out. The dogs were scratching and whining at the door by the time we got the van doors open. Everyone slept good last night and today the real fun begins.........washing and putting everything back up. Which isn't an easy task when you add in 75lbs of puppy that is so happy that "mom" is home that he won't get out from under my feet!

Sounds like you had a nice time. My parents visit the Outer Banks often and I would just love to take my kids there. Maybe when we are in Virginia next month.

About Me

I'm a mom to 6. My oldest is 18 almost 19. I look at her and remember the day she was born. Was it really that long ago? In some ways it seems it and in others it seems like just yesterday. The youngest is 2 1/2. Need I say more? He's the sweetest thing.....when he wants to be. My dh and I just celebrated our 21st anniversary this September and my inlaws are celebrating their 50th. I am totally in awe of 50 years!
