My Manly Outdoorsmen Return

I experienced something very rare this weekend. I think it's called being alone. Eating alone. Driving alone. Peeing alone. It was great! I also spent some time out with some girlfriends. It was just as good as the alone time! Who knew dinner could last from 6:30 to 10:00?

How did I score this alone time? Allie went to stay with my parents and Brian took the boys camping. What did I do besides eat, drive, and pee alone? I cleaned out closets, drawers, and the playroom. (I may or may not have watched a chick flick also.) I've got lots and lots of boxes and bags to take to Goodwill. I'm very excited! I've been very serious about decluttering. It's coming along nicely!

The guys made it home safely today with lots of fun stories of their forest adventures. Maybe I'll have Coleman and Spence write a post about it from their perspective. They're in bed right now though, so I'll just share some pictures.

Camping with Daddy...

...and friends!

Boys love fire

Walking across a tree bridge

Choppin' wood

They took turns and got it chopped in two! So proud of themselves!

In case you're wondering, it's no coincidence that both my boys only wore red shirts. I picked those out so they could always be seen in the woods. If Mommy's not there to watch over her babies you better believe she's gonna make it easy for Daddy to keep an eye on them! And I must say thank you to the three Daddies for getting our boys back safely! I know they had a blast. You guys are awesome!
