What would you do if your husband and brother in law were so awesome that when you said you wanted to take a 4 1/2 day trip/road trip they just said, "ok, when?".
Well I know what I would do. I would pack my nicest clothes.
~The clothes that normally don't make it very far into the day because of the combination of snot and food that end up on them.
I would load up on Diet Pepsi and Snacks.
I would bring my fancy camera so that I could come home with pictures of a place I adore, and people I adore even more!
I would take my favorite music, and maybe an audio book or two.
And then I would tearfully say goodbye to my husband and children, and take off down the road avec ma soeur, singing at the top of our lungs!
I would have the road beneath our tires in no time, traveling with few breaks (no kids you know) in order to spend a precious 2 days with our friend/old roommate who is moving to the middle east with her husband 5 children.
I would eat a lot of food, laugh about old times and help out with the children since her hubby is already across the ocean.
That's what I would do, anyway.
If it were me.
Which it is.
WOO HOO!!
See ya Tuesday.

Saturday : Sunshine!!! Park for 2 hours, then back home for Trampoline dodgeball, popsicles, then dinner Dairy Queen for 3 kids, pizza for the other 3. Brownies for dessert. then Wii and movies
Sunday: 35 minutes late to Stake Conference. Enjoyed the speakers, kids did great! Home to enjoy the afternoon. Dinner was hamburgers, plain pasta, garlic mashed potatoes from a pouch, canned corn. Kids cleaned the downstairs with the bribe of cookies. Everyone took a bath and are almost going to bed.
Really looking forward to Amy coming home! But we have all survived! These times make me really understand and re-appreciate all that she does day in and day out. I love you, Amy!!!
The kids are wonderful! You've taught them well.
