whooooo hooooooo!!!!!

i'm kid free! well, almost! i've still got austin, but he's pretty easy. the girls have gone to grammie's for, get this, 3 nights! whooooo hoooooo!!! after yesterday. well, let's just say we ALL needed a break from each other. so, the girls are off for summer vacation at grammie's. grammie's church has vacation bible school this week, it's called "marketplace" because the whole thing is set up like a marketplace during jesus' time. it really is incredible, and we've been a part of it for many many years. as i was growing up, my cousin's would always visit from texas for that week and stay with us. the tradition has continued well into adulthood, as this year my 21 year old cousin and her almost 16 year old cousin are staying at mom's this week. it's always been a tradition that all the kids stay at mom's that week and go to marketplace. and so the tradition continue's with my children. ellie will stay all week, with the exception of wednesday night when she'll come home for t-ball. annie will probably come home for good on wednesday since she is still on the young side to go for a whole week. and next year, who know's maybe austin will go for a couple of days too! then i would really be cheering!
