Grands Adventure

Well, the adventure began last night and it looks like the week is going to fly by!

The kids settled in just fine. Who knew Cabbage Patch dolls from 1980's would be such a huge aid in helping them adjust? They were distracted taking care of them and helping them to settle in for the night which seemed to help the kids as well. Joey stripped his doll down for bedtime leaving him in only his diaper. He said the diapers say "strong men can wear diapers". They don't say that. They say "Cabbage Patch". Oh well - he tried!

He immediately went in to sleep with Sammy. She was the best big sister and got him tucked in by her. She told me this morning that she didn't mind at all because otherwise, she might have been just a little scared too. Awwww....

They woke up early thanks to Papa John leaving for work which left them plenty of time for breakfast, getting ready and even some time to play. We walked to school which I thought would be fun for them - but they didn't seem to appreciate the uniqueness of the walk. I promised them I will be at the bus to pick them up. Joey had just a few tears as he got into line but he marched off when it was time. Brave man!

Chip spent the entire evening on my bed and has since been attached to my leg all day - which is sort of awkward since he doesn't move too quickly and I tend to forget he is there. We will adjust!

Anyway, it should be a good week ahead. Hope you guys travel safely and enjoy your vacation! More updates later in the week!!
