the kids got to spend the weekend with neal while i had a girl's weekend away! they had a great time! they watched star wars and went out to dinner with uncle ryan and kari. it was nice to get away, but i missed my little loves! when i pulled up they were both at the window bouncing up and down with huge smiles! it was the best!

today, we went to the gym for the first time in over a week! the kids were good and had fun. i think that they were testing me a bit more than usual today. perhaps daddy was a little lax on the rules this weekend? ;) overall we had a pretty calm day.

malloy's new thing to do is give rex books at nap time and night time. i didn't realize that she gave him books today and he was still up an hour and 45 minutes after i put them down. he ended up not napping at all. malloy napped through all of rex's shenanigans. i had to have a long talk with malloy when she woke up about staying in bed and not giving rex books. she seemed to understand but i guess we'll see!
