Lazy week and a "Big Boy Trip"

Julia and I have a pretty easy week this week, not much going on at all. This is the first week in a very long time we don't have a single appointment!  We have been playing and lounging around in our PJ's till well past noon. This morning I decided it was time to go threw all the kids clothes. Another trash bag full of "to small", it would give me a small heart attack to add up the amount of money we spend on clothes for the kids each year. But at least we have friends and family to pass them down to after our little ones outgrow them! 

John is getting VERY excited for our special trip this coming weekend. When I was John's age my mom took me to Sesame Place down in PA without any of my brothers and sister. I had a blast! I still remember how special it was to get away with just her almost 20 years later! I also remember the extremely scary hotel we stayed in and the firing alarm going off in the middle of the night and my mother telling me it was an alarm clock and to go back to sleep... then the fire department banging on the door and getting us out... but lets focus on the positive lol! I've been trying to get down to sesame with JJ since I was pregnant with Julia but it has never been a good time. Well guess what it's still not a good time. There is definitely other places we could really use the money right now BUT he's the right age NOW and the bills will still be there when we get back but the chance to relive one of my best memories from childhood with my own son will not be so were leaving Friday afternoon! I hope to make the trip as special for him as it was for me!
