On the Road AGAIN!!

Last night we went to Jenn and Ryan's house. I could do a whole blog entry on how we met and how they introduced Daniel and I. Stay tuned for that entry soon. The boys had a great time playing with Jeffrey, Alyssa and Jacob. That is except maybe Joey. He came down stairs and we all thought he had to use the potty and then it happened. . . He threw up all over the living room carpet!! I was so embarrassed, but we got it cleaned up and he curled up on my lap. No fever so it was probably from eating Waffle House for dinner combined with all the time in the van. We left around 10pm (I sure hope Jeffrey and Alyssa did all right in school today being up so late)

We had the continental breakfast this morning and headed back to their house around 8:30 this morning. Jenn and Jacob took us to play at the park and run around before a big day of 440miles in the van to make it to San Angelo. When I checked my Facebook I had a comment from my friend and Stampin' Up downline, Brenda Bromen. She lives in San Antonio and is in the process of moving to Florida. She noticed we would be driving through San Antonio and asked if we wanted to meet up on our way through!! I left her a note and called her after our play date. She was nice enough to locate a McDonald's with a play zone not too far off I 10 to meet at. The boys played for an hour and a half while we caught up!! It was perfect timing as San Antonio was exactly half way through our travel day :)

Once we got through the traffic of San Antonio it was a very relaxing drive the rest of the way. We arrived in San Angelo around 7:30pm. I set my odometer to zero when we left Panama City and it had 1,200 miles on it when we arrived. The boys were amazing travelers the whole trip!! It was when we were visiting with Granny D all hell broke loose. They went crazy climbing on each other, fighting and hitting. It took a little bit and a phone call to Daddy, but they finally got to sleep and allowed me to catch up with Mae Dell. Then Nikky and my brother in law to be, Doug arrived at midnight. We chatted until Joey came to tell me he needed to go potty at 3:45am!! We said good byes and see ya tomorrows and after Joey was done we went to bed.

First Day of School Panic Attack

Okay so most of you know I'm not the emotional mom on the first day of school. Alan started First Grade today and today was DIFFERENT!! I don't know why it was so hard to hold back the tears as the school bus pulled away. I suspect it had something to do with the fact he was riding the bus and I wasn't leaving him in a classroom with a smiling teacher and lots of new friends. Another part of it was knowing he was going to a bare walled classroom with a SUBSTITUTE teacher until they hire a full time teacher for his class. It's a good thing we were early to get to the bus stop. The bus came a full 10 minutes early!! Waiting for the school bus Waiting on the correct side of the street The bus is here!! Joey ran right for the doors trying to get on the bus and was quite upset he didn't get to ride.  He kept saying "I go school, I go school" This is a picture of the school taken from our driveway!

Dreaming of a White Christmas

While a "White" Christmas is something many dream of, I'm pretty confident in saying I dream and pray that this will be my LAST white Christmas!! It's funny how the only things about snow that "stick" in your memory are the snowball fights, snowman building, sledding and FUN!!! Daniel and I decided the boys would really enjoy seeing snow for the first time this year. So we packed up our mini van turned into a sleigh and then hit the highway our destination was 2 days away. Over the highways and byways we glide to grandmother's house we drive. With turn right or turn left we trust GPS to get us there alive. It turns out we have very bad trip coordination with mother nature. She seemed to think this weekend was the perfect time for a blizzard/white out to visit the mid-west. This didn't quite sync with our driving plans. The further north we drove the talk of snow increased until it was finally falling and hitting our windshield. I warned them o...
