A rare treat for me today.
DS2 has been gone to his scout camp since last Sunday. DH left last night to join him as they are running programming for a group and adult presence is required.
DS1 is packing up his car as we speak. He is off to join my parents, and a couple of my nieces at the lake, 2 hours from here. It isn't the big family weekend with all the cousins but it is still time away at the lake. I am so pleased both my boys value camping and family time so much. It makes me feel like I did at least one thing right raising them.
My almost 2 year old great nephew will be there. DS1 is beyond awkward and uncomfortable with little kids so this will be a good experience for him. When we hit Walmart yesterday to grab a few munchies for the lake, DS says "does that kid have a fishing rod yet????" I laughed and said, "He isn't even 2". So??? DS replied. "It's time he started".
DS picked out a CARS fishing rod for the boy, lamenting the fact that there wasn't a hockey themed one.
As for me, I have a list of to dos while I stay home and take care of my sister's place, ours and my parents. I need to get to the school too and pick up the items that need to be moved before my floor gets waxed.
Oh boy! me time!

Sounds like a nice way to spend the day, catching up on me time. How thoughtful of your son to buy your nephew a fishing rod. My son is two and I think we will try getting him interested when I go to my sisters in a few weeks.
that is so cute! sounds like a great time - I hope they have fun!!!
lol. cute. although... that reminds me... You should warn your son too. When I was a kid, 4 or so, I went fishing. As I was casting the line, I opened my hand and threw my fishing rod away. (Obviously, I was and am a horrible fishermen.)
Lesson of the story: Make sure that kid's holding that rod!
True "me" time is always such a treat!! :)
