This can make or break the weekend whether you know it or not. I know this is a hard time for you, but it is hard on your kid(s) as well. However they see you handling the situation is very much how they will handle it. Kids often do as they see, not as they're told, but by now, I'm sure you know that. I'm going to say something now, and I know I am oversimplifying it, but it is the absolutely truth, and that is:
BE HAPPY!!!!!!!!
Be happy that they are going to college, be happy they're going out on their own, be happy that they are becoming independent. This is absolutely vital in making them not really feel homesick, unless you want that. With all of this being said, just try and be upbeat about the situation, they know it's hard on you, they know you're most likely holding back tears, but that's ok. At the end of the day, we are still you're little boys and little girls, we always will be. Going off to college will NOT change that, I promise.
