I love these types of weekends. i think we all deserve some time off and to ourselves! Plus it shows the kiddos that their dad is very capable parent (and that their mama deserves some time alone!)

I usually get one weekend like this a year, ever since kids got a bit older and it was easy for DH to take them by himself to his parents house. You think it’s sooo much time, you will get so much done, but it goes by FAST! Lol
I usually use it to binge Netflix, do a couple Pure Barre workouts, maybe do some clothes shopping for myself do some crafts/scrapbooking, maybe go to a brunch/lunch with other ladies if there is one happening. Due to my OCD-ness i probably have some house clean up project in there, or i am catching up on tons of laundry while binging Netflix

When each kiddo turned 10 i used weekend like this to finish up a special birthday scrapbook for them. It was sooo much easier to put it together when no one else was around to interrupt me and it was a cool surprise for them too.
