First Night Away From Home

John and I dropped Carter and Preston off with Grandma and Papa(John's parents) this morning. Carter was so excited to go over there. As soon as we told him he was going he kept asking to go now. I hadn't even gotten out of bed. When I told him I had to shower and get dressed he told me that I could do that afterwards.

This is the first time for me to spend a night away from Preston. I never understood the moms that had a hard time leaving their children overnight. I never had that problem with Carter. I'm not sure if it was due to the fact that I spent his first 2 weeks of life away from him while he was in NICU or the fact that I had to go back to work when he was only 8 weeks old or what. But I totally get it now. I know Preston will be just fine and Beckie will take great care of him. I just miss the little guy. It is nice to have a quiet house but goodness, it is almost too quiet!

After we dropped the boys off, we ran to the bank, ate some lunch and went to see a movie. We are in money saving mode so we decided to go the dollar movie. We saw Star Trek. I am not a Star Trek fan by any means but the movie was really good. It almost made me want to start watching the show...almost. lol We then ran over to Babies R Us and came back home. John has been working a little bit and I have been cleaning out Carter's room.

Speaking of cleaning out rooms...it is a lot of work. I need to get all of Baby's clothes put away but right now all of Preston's clothes are still in the nursery. So, I need to move all of Preston's stuff into Carter's room but before I do that I have to make room. I have been putting away clothes that don't fit Carter and just cleaning things out and organizing. Maybe it's the nesting kicking in but I really want it all done before Baby comes.

We are getting ready to go out to eat. We have decided to have John's birthday dinner tonight. He chose Red Lobster so we are off to Red Lobster and then to Cold Stone Creamery. Nothing fancy but it will be nice to have adult conversation without kid interruptions. Granted, we will probably just talk about the kids the whole time! :)
