ROAD TRIP

Well right now 3 of our 4 kids are asleep. We are in laramie wy and tomorrow we complete our drive from Ohio to Idaho. I would like to say it was so much fun and that I would love to always drive cross country with 4 kids, but lets me honest. The first day was good but tiring. We stayed in Omaha the first night and the hotel room we stayed in was just a little bigger than our car, the pool was outdoor and not heated, and the kids were wound up. I was about to pull my hair out!!! We made it through the night and decided we would do a later start the next day and it was a bad idea. Demands,demands, demands. I gotta go pottie, stop touching me and the list goes on. We made it to Laramie where we met up with some and good friends and ate a yummy dinner and let our kids play together. We checked into a nicer, bigger room and took the kids swimming and went to bed. We attended church with our friends. For dinner we enjoyed lasagna and rabbit stew. Yup rabbit stew. I have to admit it wasn't that bad.. For updates on all our kids. Jonah completed 2 grade with flying colors, he got the nickname Gummy bear from a girl in his glass, has exceled in swimming and has turned into a great 3rd parent... Londyn completed preschool, has stopped throwing as many fits, enjoys playing with friends, and this morning I found a tick behind her ear. Gross luckily it hadn't embeded in her ear so William was just able to pull it off. Brick is finally potty trained. I have learned that it is much better to do it when the time is right then to deal with accidents. We had trial runs but he wasn't ready but when he was ready it took 1 day and 1 accident. Nice!! He will be starting preschool in the fall has started saying zip it and slapping people.. Not so nice. Henry is a ball of fun... He now shares a room with Londyn has had issues since we left Ohio sleeping I think he doesn't like being out of his surroundings. I hope it gets better. He LOVES strawberry milk almost as much as nursing... William is excited to see all of his family this week, and I am excited for him. It is hard living away from those you love... As for me I am glad I made it through Nebraska and didn't jump out of the car....
