Work some hair magic and then have a meltdown trying to get Scipp ready in time. I actually cried...loosing my skilz I think. Dangit. I dont think that's ever happened before...

Look at pictures, Eat Pizza, Be Merry.
Leave for Mich at 3PM.
Notice the flat tire. (There was a screw in it - actually it's still there...)
fill up tire, get some coffee, start the drive.
Couple hours in, G BOMBS while sitting in the carseat, up the back, out BOTH sides and up the FRONT!! of his diap. Time for a rest area, 20 min delay of game.
Back on the road, few hours later stop for gas, eat subway, it gets dark. 30 min delay of game.
Chicago comin in kinda hot, wait a second, why are they making us exit....take a 2 hour detour on this random highway south of I80 due to flooding.
E wakes up to poop. Since we're moving about an inch every 10 minutes, Ry changes his diap in the front seat and he plays in dad's lap for a while. (I was driving the second half) Goes back to bed in car seat.
Arrive back in Mich at 3am, 12 hours from start of trip.
I look like I got hit by a bus.
There you have it!!! Pretty eventful! Now it's back to house decisions, and the boys' 9 month doc visit today. Thank you Dr. Neal - Ry got to sleep in a few extra hours because of his schedule, so he went in at 11 this morning. All in ALL, GREAT trip, we got so see so many of our friends and family, there is always more we wished we had time for, but it was so GREAT to see one of my BEST friends get married and start this new stage of life with her man. Love you Scipp!! Pictures to come...

wow. I haven't even blogged yet. You are ahead of the game. Woke up early...on laundry load 3. Got finances in order, packages ready to mail, and unpacked from the weekend.
This just in. Forgot my facewash at Merediths. Man am I going to get ziti.
I'm going to make a facebook countdown to the mini van plan.
I feel like I was hit by a truck just reading that! E really needs to learn to sleep in so you can rest. I laughed so hard, tears came.
It was great to see you!
Wow! What a trip! So glad you could stop in, we LOVED having you all here - the boys are awesome, can't wait to see them again - tell them not to grow to much, ok?
