Getting Ready

It is amazing how much work it takes to get ready for a trip with kids. And especially hard if you are flying (so much more to worry about). Before we had kids Brad and I would look at each other on Friday morning/afternoon and say "Let's go somewhere". We would grab a change of clothes, deodorant, toothbrushes and bathing suit/swim trunks and pick a direction and start driving. Then we would pick a place and stop there for the weekend. Now that we have kids...I have been planning for 2 weeks now and with only 3 1/2 days left until we leave I still have so much to do. Clothes to wash, bags to pack, lists to check off. It is so hard to pack for kids and then you have to be careful of what you pack because of all the restrictions at the airport. Then I have to make sure that Ted, Alex and Sierra all have things to keep them busy and happy and not annoy the other passengers on the plane. UGHHHHH!!! There are only 2 upsides to this trip: 1. My sister is getting married and we all get to be there for it!! 2. All of our family gets to see each other again on Saturday night (everyone gets to meet Sierra for the first time and we get to meet our two new little nieces) Back to laundry and lists and packing...
