I'm sooo glad today was the last driving day. We hit the road around 6:45am and drove 610 miles from San Angelo, TX to Albuquerque, NM. We stopped in Amarillo for lunch at Subway because that's what the boys wanted. Alan was under the impression he would get to make his own sandwich so we had a mini melt down, but he snapped out of it thanks to Backugone (I know this is TOTALLY spelled wrong. We just learned about these toys from our Houston friends and I haven't done my research on them yet) I promised the boys if they were good for the WHOLE trip they could get one when we arrived.
We got here around 4:30pm so it took us a bit longer than we expected. When we got here we promptly hit TRAFFIC!!! The boys were really frustrated telling me to just go as traffic was stopped at a stand still due to a crash on I 40. This was a perfect opportunity to explain car crashes and how important it is to be very QUIET when Mommy is driving in the city. They are in awe and amazement at the big city!! They especially like it when we drive on the high roads :) Alan can't get over all the fast food places and how close together they are. When traffic started moving we got a call from Dan saying he was done closing on the house. We ended up getting to the new house 10-15 minutes before him. The boys went CRAZY exploring, fighting over the bedrooms, and Eddie even got his head slammed in the door that goes out to the garage because it has some safety feature that makes it close automatically. Safety feature my ASS!! I get the concept, but not so safe with little kids. I do think they all learned the lesson though.
We met the next door neighbors and they have 2 little boys, Aidan is 3.5 years and Austin is an infant. The cluster of mail boxes just happens to be right outside our front door and we met another neighbor with 3 kids all close to the same ages as our with a couple girls in the mix. I hope to get pictures of our house and the neighborhood tomorrow and will post them soon.
Eddie and Joey have passed out and Alan has half open eyes watching the movie Over the Hedge on the fold out bed in the hotel and I'm gonna hit the hay now too!!
