Road Trip- Three Kids and Me!

For the Labor Day weekend Greg went to Oklahoma for his annual hunting trip for Opening Weekend of Dove (I think?). So, I thought I'd pack up the kids and go out to Sulphur Springs for the weekend. Packing up for a weekend is one thing when you have older kids. Packing for a weekend takes on a whole new meaning when you have a 4 1/2 month old! I felt like I packed forever. And I still forgot a few things. Not diapers or his medicines thank goodness!
Bailey went out after lunch with Gretchen and the boys and I left after Jack got out of school.
After a mandatory stop at Sonic for a drink for mommy and a snack for Jack we stopped at the Library to return our latest Jack and Annie Magic Treehouse book then headed to Memaw's and G-Dad's. Traffic was terrible and it took me more than 2 hours to get there. It usually only takes us 1 1/2 hours! Connor was really good and patient until the last 10 minutes of the trip. He is the sweetest boy.
As soon as we got there of course we had to go swimming! The kids love to swim. We even got Connor in for a while. The water was a little cool because the weather had cooled off.
Connor was great the whole time except when he was suppose to be sleeping. He decided he didn't want to sleep at night a Memaw's. Needless to say mommy had two really long nights.
Saturday we all got up and had pancakes and then the girls went to the Outlet mall to do some quick shopping. The rest of the day the two kids spent in the garden area building a moat! They really enjoyed themselves so much and were so dirty when we finally talked them into the house.
Sunday we went to church and lunch at a yummy Mexican restaurant.
We headed back pretty quick after lunch because daddy was coming home and we all wanted to spend some time with him.
We had a really fun weekend at Memaw and G-Dad's and we are so thankful that they let us come out. The whole way home both kids kept saying when can we go back!


The famous moat! It was really creative and took them all afternoon. They were so dirty and there was mud all over them. It was fun to see them work so well together. That doesn't always happen.

Bailey dropped the rather large shovel that they were using to dig the moat with on her toe! She peeled the skin off part of her toe and it looked horrible. She would not stop playing long enough to come in and have it looked at. So, when they finally came in we had to cut the skin off because their was so much sand and mud packed into the cut that it wouldn't come clean.
The garden definitely got its share of water for the day. It is a good thing they are not on water restrictions there.

Jack loves to fill the noodle up with water and blow it into someone's face! He giggles that funny giggle he has.
Well, now we are home and I can slow down. Greg is home, Jack and Bailey and Connor are sleeping. The real question is will Connor sleep all night long again now that we are home? Memaw and G-Dad-
Thank you for a nice, fun weekend that we all completely enjoyed.
