the end of the vacation

Tomorrow we travel....Sigh....

Our trip has been very fun it's just the getting there that is the pits. In a couple years when Lucy is bigger it'll be better.

Yesterday we went to Grandma B's for dinner. We had been running around and playing all day and by the time we got to dinner the kids were in rare form. They were wiggly and loud and they worked up to onery and obnoxious. We finally had to gather them up and take them home. I felt bad. They are really often well behaved although spirited, but this was not their best night. E and H fought, E bled, Lucy touched everything in the room and wiped chocolate fingers on every surface.
Today everyone is feeling ill, which might explain why yesterday was bad. Several woke up not feeling well but after some Triaminic we decided we could brave the day after all. We had lunch with Grandpa Tom and then went to Boonshoft Children's Museum. The museum was wonderful and everyone had a great time. When we got home the kids wilted and it looks like we will drive home with coughing, sneezing, sad and cranky kids. Goody!

Did I mention I am dreading the drive?

It's a real bummer to live so far away from family. We always want to see each other and have a great time when we do. But someone has to travel to make it happen and that's hard.

When we get home we'll have to turn off all our screens and detox our little addict! He and Abba and Dad have been playing x-box every free minute.
