Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
It was a fairly restful night-until I used Robby’s bad leg as leverage to get out of bed. He quickly woke up with a yelp! Reagan coughed and coughed until I gave her my pillow which left me without a pillow so I ended up just sharing hers in the floor. But we all slept pretty good.
Grannymom and Grandpa had headed out early so it was just us, Nonna, Pops and Jason left. After getting the kids dressed and sending them to Nonna’s room one by one, we quickly got our clothes on and then rushed to load up the car while we were without our helpers. Anderson was a little concerned that we weren’t eating breakfast at the hotel but was relieved when I told him we just had to drive a little bit.
And we only had to drive right across the street to eat at McFarlains. We ate at the buffet and Anderson got his money’s worth out of it (especially since 3 and under was free). He had waffles, fruit, bacon, eggs and more waffles. Graham and Campbell were tied for our second best eaters-Graham is feeling better and has his appetite back today. Reagan ate pretty well but not nearly as much as her brothers.
After breakfast, they had plasma cars out downstairs to try out and of course the kids loved taking turns on them. Next we said goodbye to everyone and headed home. Graham noticed each hotel on the way home and tried to tell Dad that it was our new hotel house. We stopped many, many times to go to the bathroom. It is always strange how they can go all day without pottying except when we are in the car!
Reagan did get in trouble on the way home. She got mad and then acted like she was going to throw a book at Anderson. After Dad got on to her, she cried and cried and cried and cried at least for 30 minutes. It became quite comical to us. She did eventually calm down when we started discussing our favorites of the trip.
We still made it home around 1. The kids went inside to start playing while Robby cleaned the car and unloaded it. I stayed inside and put up everything. When we finished it was time for naps for everyone. We were even able to take a brief one too. Campbell and I ran an errand to Toys R Us and then picked up supper.
Reagan and Dad were waiting at home for us-eating candy and watching football. The boys woke up next and everyone had some pizza and more candy. Robby migrated upstairs to watch the football game, I snuck upstairs soon after him and within minutes everyone else was climbing up the steps. The kids all played good during most of the game.
After pajamas and a bath for sticky Graham it was bedtime!
