Weekly Round-Up: Mini-Breaks

My mother was here visiting for two weeks, to take care of the kids while they were on vacation. Then the two of us went to London with my daughter for a few days, leaving my two boys at home with their dad. It was the first time I had ever really left them, so I was a bit traumatized. They, however, had a fantastic time. I think I shall have to go away more often!
