Friday morning I decided we needed to run away from the severe weather headed our way. So we ran away to Uncle Kasey and Aunt Tracy's house. We were happy to hear that Grandma Warren, Aunt Pam, and Kendy were also visiting that weekend. We left as soon as Levi got home from work and arrived at midnight. I love that as the kids get older, road trips get easier. Levi's family is spread out all over, which means road trip for pretty much any holiday we spend w/ his family. For about 5 years I have dreaded these long car trips, but I have to say, this one has been the easiest yet. Actually, the one to Steven and Stephanie's for Christmas last year was easy, but it was at night and the kids slept the whole time. So anyway, I plan on taking more trips and having a lot less stress about it.
We pretty much just hung out at the house, except for a mandatory trip to Portillo's and a walk down to the neighborhood park. We left Sunday afternoon and drove home in constant rain. There wasn't a time during the entire drive that I didn't have my windshield wipers on. We made it home last night and everyone went straight to bed. Thankfully the kids slept in a little and have been really good, despite being off schedule, having later bedtimes, and being totally spoiled all weekend.
I have to say, it makes me happy to hear how sweet, snuggly, and well-mannered my kids are. Maybe I am doing some things right :)
Looking through the pictures, these sum up each kid's personality pretty well
