Mommy Day!!!

This is our last weekend together for the next two weeks. Keith heads to Moscow on Monday for a conference through Friday. The kids and I are going on a road trip to Ivanovo for 3 days to celebrate Alys' Birthday. We will return on Thursday and on Friday, I head to the states to begin my 8 day adventure to see friends and family ALL BY MYSELF!!! OK, even though I am totally excited about getting to see my friend get married and spend some time with my family~not to mention Wal-Mart and Mexican food~my enthusiasm is a little tainted, since I will not be able to share the fun and memories with the family~but hey...I won't have to share the oreos either!

Gideon: What is today? (His biggest worry and daily question.)
Mommy: Today is Saturday!!!
Gideon: Does that mean today is Mommy Day?

So, we declared Saturday's Mommy Day!!! On our first ever Mommy Day, we ate pancakes and all went grocery shopping; came home and ate again, and tonight, I took the kids to their favorite mall to play and eat...again!!! I did leave the camera at home...sorry Granny!
