Guess what we did this weekend! :)

That's right! We went up to DC. And, not only that, but we were kid free! (Hey, that rhymes!)
Ben's wonderful parents said they would watch the kids for us, so we could drive up and stay the night. It makes for an EXTREMELY long day if you drive up and come back in the same day!



As it was, it was a pretty long car ride! These are the only pictures I got of the whole trip! Sorry! For those of you who don't know, DC is about 3-4 hours away. And it all depends on traffic. (I don't know how people can live up there!)
We stayed the night in Woodbridge, VA. Right down the street from IKEA! Yeah, that's wasn't planned. NOT! It is such a huge, fun, awesome store. And, I always come away with so many fun ideas for our house. We ended up buying this:
We turned it on it's side, and it is a table by our front door.

This:is a lamp to go on it! :)

This:
is a bookcase for Parker and Preston's room.

This:
is storage for scrapbooking supplies.

Okay, this is what happens when I don't take any pictures! I have to find pictures! We bought some more odds and ends....but I don't want to bore you!

It was so much fun going to the temple. It was such a perfect, beautiful day.
I won't get the boys back until after church tomorrow. Donna is watching them because tomorrow is the Primary program, and I need to be on the stage. I think this is the longest amount of time I have been away from them. I miss them. But....I can honestly say it is nice to have a break!
