We're expecting baby #4. You better believe we're having a babymoon.
But babymoon homehandyparents style is this:
We have a wedding to go to, a 5 hour drive from here, next weekend. A friend of ours, with children of her own, offers to spend the weekend at our house, look after all our kids and feed our cat, out of the goodness of her heart (and we'll make sure the house is stocked with food that she and her kids will eat - so a junk food fiesta for our kids, and business as usual for hers, but I digress).
We phone other friends of ours who live close to the wedding venue and will be crashing in their spare bedroom on Friday and Saturday nights (Wedding is Saturday afternoon). The babymoon bit? The joy of knowing that those children I can hear calling out in the night? They're not mine. Kids up and about first thing in the morning? Not my job to feed them. A car ride for multiple hours, with no insane children's songs playing on the stereo. And if we stop anywhere on the way, it will not have to be somewhere with a playground. And we plan to get to our friends' house early enough on the Friday night to do dessert and play some board games :)
Ooooooh yeeeeah.
