Preparations...

This coming Sunday, Grandma S and I are taking the kids on a road trip - to Missouri! We are driving up there for a week to visit my grandparents (Granny and Gramps) and my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins. It's a sixteen hour drive, so we are planning on stopping in OKC halfway and getting a hotel room. Aurora LOVES staying at hotels so she is super excited! She is also excited about staying with her cousins in Missouri (they are teenage girls and Aurora thinks she is sooo grown-up when she is around them).

Our last road trip with the kids did not go too well...we drove with them to Alabama last year. Three days in the car with kids is just TOO much...especially with an 18 month old that has no patience and refuses to sleep in the car!

But Alex is a year older now, and a *little* more patient! We have a DVD system in the Jeep, Mom and I picked up some new movies and activities, and she is super patient...so hopefully it will go well.

Anyway we spent this weekend getting ready. We had hair appts on Saturday...


Then on Sunday I took Aurora for her first pedicure!

Excited!
Amazed at all the colors to chose from...
I picked my color!
Pretty toes!

And then the kids "supervised" (aka pretended to sleep) in the laundry baskets while I cleaned house and did laundry.


Come on Sunday!
