we love going home, but we hate the GOING part of going home. that 12 hour drive or this last time, 18 hour train ride seems to take forever!!!!
lace and i took our 4 boys and headed up to the great white north leaving our husbands to brave finals week alone, here is miles, and let it be known that this is around 10pm in our dark little room with everyone else sleeping around him. miles had a hard time with our sleeping arrangements, and it took some amazing patience from his mom and with the help of her ipod touch to keep him quiet and get him to sleep after a few hours of fighting it. oh miles......how we love you!
aj was a champ and slept through the night on his top bunk. here are my boys sharing a little bench, and they did way better than i thought they would and each only woke up once or twice and went right back to sleep. in the end, our boys got some sleep even if we didn't!
it was fun to wake up all together in the morning, and our free breakfast was pretty good even if it took us 10 minutes to walk through the 5 cars it took us to get to the eating area! we both agreed that the extra money and extra time was worth our boys getting some sleep and having some space to move around in and being there for each other through one more long trip home :)
18 hours later....my mom picked us up in shelby, and caillou entertained everyone all the way home, and then the crazy energetic kids let loose on their homes for the next few weeks and their grandparents while their moms crashed for a little nap.
as much as the process of getting home sometimes sucks, the end result makes up for it! home sweet home!
