Bye Bye ....my sweet boys.....

Yes, this is the week my boys took a vacation without mom! They were so excited and we were so busy prior their departure that the time just flew last week. Off they went on the silver auto train. Gavin thought it was "Spencer". That is a train from Thomas the Train. Off we went to the train station and I even got to join the guys on the train for the hour before they departed. They had a little sleeper car and a really nice host to help them aboard. 17 hours later, I think Chris was glad to get off that train. Here are a few photos I received once they arrived via phone:

Looks like they are having a lot of fun.

Here are the photos I took at the train station of the loading docks for the cars. They drive the cars right up these ramps and in to the train:

This is the train that the boys boarded:

Here is the terminal:

Bear with me as I do not have my camera. I sent it with the guys! I have been so very very busy by design since their departure. Firstly, Thursday was my birthday (the day they left) and I had my company party. That, of course, kept me busy. Friday was work then I got my hair done and went to dinner with some friends. Saturday I went holiday shopping, got my nails done, went to lunch with my sister and her husband and went to a white elephant gift exchange. Today me and my friend Christie baked for 7 1/2 hours! Here is a peek:

and then I put this cute little plate rack together that my mom sent me back in the summer(forgot about it until now!):

Then I organized the garage a little....

Soooo ...that is the excitement...or lack thereof. Just no fun without my family. Off to bed. Long work week ahead....gift wrapping and some organizing around this house......

Everyone have a great week!
