School got out Thursday. No rest for the wicked here however. The BFF arrived back in Minnesota (from Texas) early Saturday morning, along with her sister. Kathryn, the Texas girls and two others were promptly deposited at basketball camp on Sunday at St. Ben's . Phew - enough of them! 
Seriously - it's just a five day camp, and it's inside in gym clothes. They packed for a month in the wilderness. That green bag - at least 200 pounds.

Me: "Welcome to college dorm life!"
Them: "The room smells!"

Kid's gone - I'm still making beds!
Although it IS an overnight camp - I think the girls were afraid that meals were not going to be provided. This is just Kathryn and the BFF's stash. I believe they have the carbs covered . . .
. . . and maybe a day or two of beverages.
Oh look, a little piece of home! An 18 year old picture of her parents! Next to her wallet filled with the cash I gave her to get - treats in case she runs out of - food?
When everyone is unpacked and happy, it's time for me to go. And sob all the the way home. Did I mention that I returned to an empty house? Mr. is in China until Friday.

She's going to have a great time. You will, too, if you're smart.
Have plans for Wednesday evening???
She will have a great time away from home and will have lots of hugs for you when she gets back home. In the meantime, enjoy the quietness of the house - it won't last long.
Aw, dang! I wish I lived closer... I'd love to hang out with you and keep you company!! Hopefully, the week will fly...
Um. There would be no sobbing here. I would throw myself onto the couch and nap for three hours first....
What Chris said.
Maybe you should give Kate a new photo of the two of you next Christmas? I'm sure she wouldn't need or want anything else.
You sobbed because you were returning to an empty house? Does.Not.Compute. Think about knitting, spinning, napping, watching movies, all without cooking annoying meals for those people and answering their needs. Heaven.
She's adorable. I love seeing what's to come. And am so amused at the packing. tons of snacks, one book on the shelf. Am guessing the bags are full of pillows, stuffed animals? what? She's going to have a blast...
But you have to pack extra stuff - just in case :)
It'll be so nice and quiet...
I bet she'll have a great time. And it sounds like you could have a wonderful time to yourself for a few days.
I did not cry at the camp drop off...this time. I have not cried yet and I do not anticipate crying until I pick ThePrincess back up and am so glad that the evil camp counselors didn't lose her!
