Alexys' first trip without mom and dad

Last week on Friday I went and took the ACT test. Since it was a five hour test I didn't want to leave Alexys with someone she didn't know for fear of her freaking out. I decided to ask my sister if she would come up for the night and watch Alexys while I took the test then I would take her out to see Twilight (which I still haven't seen yet as the tickets were sold out when the theater said they wouldn't presell the tickets. Yes I'm ticked) Any who, my mom and dad decided to come up also. As Justin decided the weekend before that he wanted to remodel our bathroom and our house was a mess, my parents persuaded me to let them take Alexys for the weekend and we could just take her home after Thanksgiving. The point to this whole long drawn out history is that one: I have never left Alexys for more then a night. And even then we were only a few minutes away, not three hours. Two: we had time to finish the tile work in the bathroom and I had some time to do deep "spring" cleaning. I cleaned out, washed and reorganized all of my kitchen cabinets, washed the walls in both the kitchen and living room, scrubbed the kitchen floor on my hands and knees, and steam cleaned the carpet in the living room. I love when my home is clean. (even though the bathroom is still in shambles as we still need to grout it and all of the bathroom stuff is being stored in ours and Alexys' bedrooms) Alexys had a great time with my parents and siblings, however, my mom told me that they were going to the store one morning and as they strapped her into the car seat she looked up at my mom with a quizzical look and said "Mommy?" So I guess she missed me as much as I missed her. As soon as we got to my parents home she ran up and gave me and Justin big hugs and kisses.
