Boys Trip

Did I promise I'd post in a couple of days? I meant at least a couple of weeks. I've got a good excuse and she's coming this week. Anyway, thanks for being patient. You'll need it in the next few weeks. Although I'm going to have Scott post a few entries for me just to satisfy the natives.

A few weeks back, Scott and Nick took a road trip to TX to see his parents. I was too far along for a 9hr trip. Doc said not a good idea, so I was left at home all by my little lonesome. The boys have been on a few road trips before, but none this long. It started off well. Twenty minutes into the trip, I received a call from Scott. In the background I could hear Nick arguing about something (his all time fave thing to do right now). An apparent misunderstanding. His daddy was trying to teach him all the major towns they'd be going through on their way to Magi/Grandad. He was not having it. They were just going to "Amawillwoe" and that was that. Scott also thought it was a good idea to give Nick some chocolate. A glance in the rearview a few minutes later revealed a chocolate covered mess. Of course they had to pull over to clean up. I think they pulled over twice in the first 20 minutes. They made it just fine w/ just a few additional roadside pit stops, if you get my drift. Nick likes to wait until the very last possible second to announce he needs to go potty.

I had 4 whole days to rest and relax before hitting the homestretch. It was nice, but the evenings were awful lonely w/out them. I did want to thank my brothers, who were kind enough to feed, entertain, and tote me around. I especially appreciate the feeding part. And thanks to Heidi and her husband, Jason, for taking pity on me and letting me hang out w/ them. They were sweet enough to help me w/ my nursery crafts, too.

Overall, a great trip for everyone. I was bummed I couldn't make the trip to see Scott's family (miss you guys!), but I got some much needed rest. I was more than ready to see my boys when Sunday rolled around. I told Scott no more road trips w/out me. He said no problem.
