I wrote a while back about the "can I really do this with 4 kids" thoughts that enter my mind. Well, here we are on the road for approximately 20 hours with the kids. We're traveling to Arizona to visit with our families and have a short vacation, although I think when this vacation is over, I'm going to need a vacation from our vacation!
I've spent the better part of 2 days catching up on as many orders as I possibly can while getting our family ready for this adventure. The kids have their backpacks full of entertaining things and another bag with books and coloring books, some snacks and of course their video games. I've got my laptop and phone, we've got our music, so we have everything we need to run smoothly....hopefully.
We're about 3 hours into our trip and so far, we've had a diaper blowout (HATE disposable diapers!), a slight case of carsickness, Denver rush hour and construction and a small bathroom emergency. At this point, I have no idea how this is going to go. Hopefully the part of the trip that is overnight will be filled with nice, quiet sleep, but I'm not going to count on that. I'm just figuring as long as we get there and nobody throws up or pees in their pants, we'll be all right. Now we're just getting in to Colorado Springs, it's so beautiful here it's hard not to be happy. In fact, I think I may want to live here someday. Now that the baby is sleeping, the 4 year old is sleeping and the older 2 are occupied with video games, I figured I could sit and do a bit of blogging, something I haven't been able to do in quite some time. So, I'll have to try and keep up with it more. Maybe there will be some interesting, non disastrous tidbits to share on our journey to the Desert.
