What a busy week we've had. It's a two week kid-week.

We were able to squeeze in a small weekend trip. Friday at NASA in Houston and then on to Galveston for a few days. We had a great time and the kids really liked the beach.

I think the biggest thrill may have been just staying in a hotel. We stayed at a great new hotel that my husband stumbled upon on the internet. It was brand new and had awesome amenities. If I had an unlimited budget, I would decorate my home just like our condo. We also had access to a huge pool, kid pool, hot tub, grills, beach club with pool table and play station, restaurant and bar, fitness center, and even Live music on Saturday night. To top it off, they provided umbrellas and chairs on the beach- no laboring required!

Unfortunately, our weekend came to an end too fast. Back to work today for both of us. My honey to a meeting in the morning while I watch the kids. Then tag- I go to work while he is on duty. Once I made it home, he was back on the road to a City Council meeting. It's now 9:15 and we're all waiting to read a bedtime story once he gets home. A bit past bedtime, but that's the decision I get to make as coolest stepmom around. Well- they may not have told me that, but my honey did.
