Headed Back Home
Well, vacation is over and it’s time to go home on a very rainy and dreary day.
I’m on a Boat!
Never Thought I would be on a boat…
Emily Reading to Us
We are not allowed to talk while she reads so I thought I would type!!!
On the Road Again……….
Ok, so in the words of Willie Nelson, “on the road again.” Late start getting back on the road but things are going smoothly for now!!! Cloudy with a chance of ______? Maybe “coffee” and hopefully NOT rain!
Is there a wookie in the back?
So 30 miles into the trip….. Emily is crying”where is Nebraska?” and Ella is crying in bursts like Chewbacca. Only 1500 miles to go….. What have we done?
And we are off
And so it begins….
Starting at the first of many gas stations.
Done Packing….
Lets get the show on the road!
Ok, here’s the plan…
After the first hour on the road, we both start screaming like crazy! Deal? Deal!
Packing!
Laundry, Organizing, and Packing!!! During the short hours between getting home from work and before the girls head to bed, it’s hard to get things done. With a very active 3 year old… nothing gets done if she isn’t involved. Last loads of laundry to be done so clothes can be ready for the trip, and the careful organization of “how much can we take” vs. “packing the whole house.” A difficult balance to be sure.
Tonight as the washer and drier spin, I shall effort to organize the “gadgets” for the trip. Cameras, Computer, Cables, DVD’s and DVD Player, all wrapped together in a tidy pile… or thrown in the corner hoping we don’t forget half of it. Tonight, I will try to get some done or I will slam it all together tomorrow and “Hope for the best.” Sometimes I like living with a “fools luck.” Wish us lots!!!
Almost Here!!!
So our big family road trip is fast approaching!! Preparations and packing continue and our list of things to do is getting overwhelmingly large!!! I am actually excited and really looking forward to a potentially fun trip. We’ll see and keep you updated!!
