Heaidng out in a few hours

My bags are packed we're (almost) ready to go, we're waiting here beside the door...can you hear it? John Denver, Leaving on a Jet Plane. We're driving through, 8 hours total and 6 1/2 of them today. I hope the little girls decide to travel well. There are so many things to do when we get home and I'm sure only a fraction of them will actually get done. Depending on the internet connection issue there might not be anymore blogging until I get back.

I guess I should make final rounds to make sure we can rock on out of here as soon as Brett, Bridget and Broderick return from Gallup.

Getting ready to head home

Our trip home is 2 days away, we leave Friday afternoon. It feels like a bunch of hurry up and wait. Hurry do this no wait cause you can't do that yet. Final preparations are in order as is most of the house. Most things are clean and looking decent, which is good because Brett is hosting D&D so he has friends coming over tonight. I mowed the yard today and had the kids clean up some weeds and broken toys. Now I have tomorrow to do laundry after music class, pick up another book for Broderick and pack up clothes. I also need to pack a bag of toys for Lucy and Julia and make sure there are enough movies to entertain everyone in the car..and headphones so I don't have to listen to the umpteenth showing of Dora. We are getting oh so close. I think it's time to get the kids ready and go play at the pool for a little while to get out of the house and burn some energy. Lucy is dire need of sleep today!!

Ok so it's been almost a month...

Time certainly slips away and next thing you know a month has gone by. Things are going well here, Julia is doing the army man crawl everywhere and getting into things, she even figured out how to open the pantry door last night which is not a good thing. Lucy is doing ok with the entire potty training things though there are times she seems not to care about the fact she should be using and the potty. Bridget is being very helpful this summer with the little ones. I did ask her the other night how many children she might like to have when she's older (much, much older thank you) and she replied "not very many" I said 1? 2? she replies yeah. I asked why not more? Her reply "they are too much work"!! Too funny. Broderick and I are totally looking forward to heading home on Friday and have been counting down the days.

Our trip home will consist of visiting Aunt Joyce, Brian, Aunt Amber, a trip to Curtis Orchard apple donuts here we come, Sidney fun days, Monical's pizza, Sidney Dairy Bar ice cream, good chinese from First Wok, coffee and salsa via Cafe Aroma, sandwiches from Cafe Paradisio and a trip to the Farmers market. I know it sounds like all we are doing is eating but these are things you just can't get in Nebraska. We will also be visiting family and going to my 20th high school reunion. All of this in a weeks time! Busy,busy busy...oh yes I forgot to mention that we are helping my mom move into her new house as well. It sounds like a lot but I am so looking forward to going home. The question is will I come back...????
