Heading Home!

This was the pile of laundry that came home! I washed EVERYTHING, including car seat covers We had a buffet in the floorboard of the truck! It was 9 loads of laundry.

We were not in any hurry to leave this morning so we did not even get up until 6:30 or so. We woke up to SIX inches of snow outside. When Jonah came down stairs he told me his eye hurt and when I told him to come close it was swollen and all red. Really? Julianne, I guess you got lucky this trip... except for your lips that is. :)

Armed with vomit bags in laps we were headed out at 8:17 am and planned on driving all the way home. We also decided to drive through Kansas, which we will NEVER do again. It seemed like it to forever to get to Texas. We hit the first Starbucks at the bottom of the mountain to get going, it was going to be a long day! We stopped for lunch at 12:15 and then at 4:15 stopped at Braums for some ice cream. Jonah walks into the bathroom, sticks his head out and says, "are you kidding me, he did not even flush the toilet, why would he do that"? Oh Jonah, just go.

At 6:00 we stopped at KFC for dinner and decided to put the kids in their jammies hoping they would fall asleep. We also filled the truck up and Justin got a five hour energy drink to make it all the way home. He followed it up with a Mountain Dew. Jonah had decided to get a bottle of water out of the cooler behind him and then just left it sitting up high and NOT closed. As we turned onto the highway he says. "ummmm, the cooler is spilling". We pull over and sure enough there is water everywhere but WHO EVEN CARED?????? not us, we kept on cruisin'.

By 8:00 Sophia fell asleep and cried out 5 times by 10:00. Poor baby sleeps on her stomach so she was not comfy. The boys movie was over at 10:00 so they both fell asleep and at the same time Sophia decided she would stay awake until 11:00. She finally fell back asleep for the rest of the trip home.

We pulled into the driveway at 12:24 am with a grand total of 16 hours and 7 min. in the car and 1943.3 miles for that trip.

Even with all the puke, poop and an avalanche we would do it all over again! We had a great time with some great friends!

WOOHOOOOO SPRING BREAK '11
