I am going to Italy. For real! In just over one week, I am boarding a plane with my grandparents and my cousins and heading to Rome, Florence and Venice. My grandparents orchestrated the whole trip and are treating us to the experience of a lifetime.
I almost can't believe it will really happen.
Beyond my excitement, I am also nervous. I will be gone for nine days. I have never left the boys for longer than four days. Chris has never had the boys alone for longer than four days. I am worried I will be a weepy mess, my husband a stress ball and my children will need therapy for mommy abandonment issues.
In order to prepare the boys for my absence, I wanted to show them where I was going on my trip. I brought home a dvd on Italy for all of us to watch together. We watched the section on Florence first.
After the first up-close and personal shot of some of Florence's sculptural nudes, there was a huge gasp from my children.
Aidan pointed, turned to me with disgust and said, "Mom! THAT is SO inappropriate! Inappropriate!"
Brennan looked closer at the screen, laughed and said, "Wow. That is one giant penis."
Yes, it is going to be a great trip.
