Excited for the weekend!

We're going away for the weekend with both girls for the first time, leaving tomorrow . Squee! Going to DH's parents' cabin about an hour and a half north of us. I can't wait! We're going to take DD1 fishing for the first time, take some hikes at the lake, it should be great. DH takes his summer class final exam tomorrow morning, so he'll be able to relax and enjoy some family time with us.
Know what's weird? I am so not nervous about this trip. At all. Even the last trip we took in May with just DH, DD1 and I, I was stressing over every little thing - whether or not she would sleep, packing for the weather, food, etc. I thought I'd be a mess at the thought of traveling with two, but I'm really not. I wish I had been able to relax and enjoy the newborn stage as much with DD1 as I am with DD2. I'm sure it doesn't hurt that DD2 is really easygoing and loves the car, pacifier, bottle - all things DD1 refused. It's just funny how different things are this time around!
I know it's only Thursday, but is anyone else doing anything fun this weekend?

Re: Excited for the weekend!
I just want sleep.
Instead I will be stressing out about starting my new job on Monday - getting stuff ready, figuring out what I'm going to do.
Did I even mention that on here? I can't remember who I've told and not told. I'll be teaching two nights a week, and DH will be watching the kids (!!!!). I barely have a week to prepare for this class, so I'm a bit stressed out. And of course the kids are crazy because I've been having to run around doing prep work (HR paperwork, getting the textbook, etc)... I'm ready for this week to be done so that we can get into our new routine.
So this weekend I will be stressed out...but I'm planning to take the kids to the zoo tomorrow. Yes, I'm crazy.
