My big surprize….

No, I’m not expecting again. This is even better. :) Actually, a lot of people already know about my little secret. The big deal is that the kids don’t know. I’m still shocked that I’ve been able to keep a secret from them for so long…

CandyMan and I are going on a cruise in December! My parents are treating all of their kids to a 7 night cruise the week before Christmas, and we decided to leave our kids at home. We found a college student (who has babysat our kids off and on for years) who was willing to stay with the kids for the entire week. That will be an adventure for her, I’m sure!

This trip will be the first time CandyMan and I have travelled together without children (except for my Grandma’s funeral in April) and will be longer than our honeymoon by 5 nights (we were poor college students who got married during a long weekend between Winter and Spring semesters!). I don’t know what we’ll do with ourselves. ;)

–PS–We had to postpone our trip to the Pumpkin Patch last night because Dad got home a little too late. We’ll try again for this afternoon….I think this time I won’t tell the kids til we’re on our way.
