So we are currently on a trip to visit my Gramma Pat in Illinois (neas St. Louis) and it has been quite the adventure. Brody dumping any drink possible into his lap (even if it is in a sippy cup), Raegan wanting to watch the same movie 3 times, Brad losing his wallet (which is still gone), breaking the GPS charger mid-trip, or my personal favorite is trying to get three kids to go to sleep in a hotel room when one of the three is constantly being as loud as humanly possible--in any form of loudness! One night Raegan was still up at 1am!
We visited with Gramma, Uncle Sandy, Aunt Kris and Steve and Sara (who are on their way to MN) has been really fun. I admit that in a one level home (small only when there are 12 people there) it is a bit stressful hoping that your kids will be good and not scream too much...I look forward to being home---ALONE--where the noise just doesn't seem so loud:) Will upload pictures when we get home.
