As I write this I am preparing to leave my little ones for two nights. It’s the first time both kids will be away from both parents for two nights. I know they’ll be in good hands with my in laws, but it’s still a lot little nerve-wracking. I know they’re good, well adjusted kids and they will be fine, but it will probably be a bit rough on Baby Girl. She’s been pretty clingy with me lately and I’m still breastfeeding. She did fairly well when I traveled to ShopAtHome.com in September, and this time there are two caregivers so the ratio is better. I’m hoping that means all the extra hugs and kisses from her grandma and grandpa will help make the two days bearable for her. I know Toddler Boy will be fine – he’ll probably talk them into giving him cake for breakfast and stay up way past his bedtime to cuddle and watch movies on the couch.

Anyway, I am so, so excited about the little getaway for my husband and me. We are going on a preview cruise of the Oasis of the Seas by Royal Caribbean! (All thanks to Cat from 3 Kids and Us. She was invited – I am so not that cool – and was unable to attend. I got uber lucky and she passed her invite my way.) Oasis of the Seas is the world’s largest cruise ship and is set to officially launch in December. I hope to blog and twitter from the ship so keep checking back for updates and photos. From what I’ve read and seen, this ship looks amazing!
