What a week!

Ben got back safely and with treasures for everyone.  He brought me two large bags of brown sugar!  I hugged them (the bags), yes I did!  The boys were thrilled to have Pasta Roni and Pop Tarts and other treats from MaMaw.  It's the little things.  He also brought back a vacuum that my sisters got for me on black Friday.  I've never been so happy to vacuum in all my life!  There is more than a little dog hair on these rugs of ours.  I filled up the canister just vacuuming ONE rug!

We decided to be a nice family and share....germs that is.  The 24 hour bug struck 4 of us this week, one at a time, of course.  I'm praying it has stopped there.

Ben and I had a nice time tonight with some friends on a double date.  It's always refreshing to have some adult time.  The boys love when Paty comes over to watch them.  They got to go to a tienda and filled up on chips and suckers and then came home and had ice cream.  Surprisingly, they are all sleeping.
