Last weekend my SILs, Heidi & Katie, and their families came down from Iowa and up from Arkansas to hang out with us. The SILs got some major female bonding time at "Time Out for Women" in Kansas City. I think it was the first (and certainly not the last!) day we've spent together, sans kids or hubbies. It was so much fun! The theme of the event seemed to be "sieze the day" - one of which I always need to be reminded. The speakers were fabulous, and Heidi even won a $50 gift certificate (that she graciously shared with us!) at the Deseret Book store there. We ate brownies and some nasty hot dogs from a roadside stand for lunch. It was sweet. The guys did a great job of keeping the kids entertained while we were away. Luckily, it was a beautiful day so they all did a lot of outside play and even found time to squeeze a game of Pirate's Cove in while drugging the kids with popcorn and t.v. Miraculously, we got the kids down at a decent hour on Saturday night, so we could all play a game and chat. Fun times - can't wait to see them again at Easter!

That is so awesome you were able to attend the Time Out for Women with your SIL's. We had one in Houston this a few weeks ago that was truly motivational. Everyone needs some time away with their lady friends sans kids! Glad to know you have great SIL's to spend time with that way! ;-)
That was definitely a great weekend! How fun! I should've stopped after the second brownie. Oops. I'm glad our little escape won't be the last. We'll have to have more Time Outs (official or not) in the future. You are an awesome SIL! See you in a few weeks!
