What. A. Trip.

We spent a fun, relaxing weekend in NC celebrating Christmas with my parents and siblings. The whole weekend was a great time but here are the highlights of our trip home. Just so you know, if you can do a post just on the trip home, somthings not right!!

• The 4 yr old wild man fell asleep within minutes of leaving. That is unusual but I'll take whatever I can get!
• An hour later the boy woke up, kinda groggy and not looking so good. One drink of gatorade later and every single thing he had eaten earlier that day came back up. Not once but twice!
• We were within minutes from our stopping point to eat but made an emergency stop on the side of the road to remove all soiled clothing, pillows and car seat cover and to scrap what chunks we could out of the truck seat and floor.
• Naked boy sat on my lap up to McDonalds. After carrying him to the bathroom in his undies (it was 35* outside) to get cleaned up he said, "those people were looking at me cuz I don't have clothes on." Poor guy.
• GPS/wife in a box/crazy lady took us on a 2 mile trip thru the country to do a U turn to take us to the nearest Kmart to buy supplies to clean out the truck.
• All the while Ryan was on my lap in the front seat, buckled in with Abigail and I.
• Thankfully we didn't see any cops on the 6 mile trip up the interstate.
• Hannah serenaded (sp?) us with a song she made up about the wife in a box and added a few lines about Jesus and his wings. Don't know where that came from but I got a laugh.
• Half an hour later and one partially clean truck and kid later, we could still smell the chunkage (lots of pineapple--it could have been worse) but we were on our way, again.
• There was NO traffic the entire trip. Unusual but, again, I'll take what I can get!
• Another emergency stop on the side of the road to remove a vomit filled kmart bag from sick boy's lap and to replace it with a trash bag and we were on our way, again.
• The rest of the trip was peaceful while the kids watched a movie.
• McDonalds messed up our food when we finally felt like eating something but what else is new.
• We got back to Charleston and Ryan announced he had to go #2 so we stopped at a gas station.
• 10 minutes later and no BM, we were on our way, again. Thankfully with just half an hour to go!
• Our 4 hr trip turned into about 6 hrs but we made it, safe and sound!
