Last weekend we packed up all three kids and set out in the minivan headed for Ohio and West Virginia. Apparently the weather gods were on our side and we had our trip timed perfectly in between snow storms. We left our house at 6:30 in the morning and by some twist of fate didn't hit any traffic in Chicago and arrived at our destination 10 hours later. But what was really amazing, was that we had no tantrums, crying, puking, blowouts or anything else that would have led to potentially disastrous conditions on the road. The drive back was just as smooth. Joseph was so good the first part of the trip that as we were getting ready to stop for lunch I thanked him for being nice and then asked if he wanted a happy meal. He of course said yes, but then asked "What are you going to get mommy, an angry meal?" We got quite a few laughs out of that one. The little dude is full of funny comments these days. The girls may not be able to talk but they are equally as amusing. Leah's latest form of blabbing is sticking out her tongue and making zerbert noises, and we sometimes have to wait to feed Hannah because she's too busy smiling and giggling at whoever is holding her. It's the little laughable things and cute smiling faces that keep you from loosing your mind when a toddler refuses listen and a baby forgets how to sleep through the night. A latte or a nice glass of wine also work quite well!
