Kids in the Car

Riding in the car with three children crammed in the backseat behind you is no fun. We don't have one of those DVD players to occupy them. We brought toys galore and I even brought my laptop with movies to play (but that didn't work - it did work at home then we get the 3 kids off from home and it won't work). I just don't know how people traveled before electronics. We had music the kids liked playing, toys for each and they still fought over every thing. We put Jack in the middle to keep Parker and Josie separated because they usually fight worse, but this time Jack and Josie could not get along and when they did they were laughing hysterically and shrilly screaming. I suppose since that was the worst part of the trip, I should not complain.

You decide: Too much Spongebob?

Jack was sitting in front of the fire at the campsite and he was intently watching when he said, "Grandma, look at those fire bubbles!" He is right they do look like fire bubbles when sparks fly off the logs.

Leaving Calhoun County

Can't wait (doing the can't wait dance with the kids, who by the way have been running around the house like we have never let them out before) to leave tomorrow!!!!! I am so excited to get out of town for a little while, excited to do something out of our routine. I hope to be able to update with photos while we are gone.

By the way, to all of you criminal lurkers out there....a friend is house sitting for us while we are gone so we are not an easy target.
