Come Sail Away with me {plus FREE sentiment}

"MOM! Can you help me with Valentine treats for my class?"

"Me too! And don't forget to get birthday treats!"

"When are we making Seahawk shirts and buttons?"

All three kiddies were talking at the same time and trying to out talk one another.

"Are we going out for Chinese New Year dinner?"

"I want to go to the Lego store!" 

"No! It's Pajama Day!" 

It's only the first of a 2-day school break and my head was already spinning. There was only one thing that could make me feel better. I packed everyone into the car and drove to Hubby's office.

For lunch with Daddy. :-)

The girls are always excited to have lunch at Hubby's workplace. They think it's a treat. For an hour and a half I get to snicker and grin at Hubby's helplessness as he tries to handle his kids in the presence of his colleagues. While the girls are mostly well-behaved, they do gather a lot of attention when they chatter just that much louder than usual due to their excitement. It probably doesn't help that I like to dress them alike.

The girls took a long time to decide what they want to eat and of course, they ended up wanting different food from three different vendors. I felt a pinch (just a teeny tiny pinch) of guilt when I see Hubby join three different lines before heading back for a fourth time to get lunch for himself. Then again, I deal with their meals at home all the time and it was nice to see him deal with that for a change.

As much as we adore the kids and can't imagine going anywhere without them, Hubby and I sometimes fantasize about going on a vacation together. Just me and him. We could go to the amusement park and get on the roller coaster ride that the kids have always been too afraid to get on. We could order only spicy foods at the restaurant instead of non-spicy kiddie meals. We could even go on a romantic sunset cruise. Just the two of us. We'll bring champagne, fruits, and cheese, and maybe even a.....

"Mom! When are we going on a Disney cruise again?"
"Yah! When?! Can we still go to the Kids' Club?"
"I want ice-cream!"

*sigh*

Should've gotten on that boat ride before we had kids.
