Over Spring Break the boys and I decided to brave it and travel alone to AR to see the family. Nathan needed to save up his days off for when the baby comes and when I drove the boys one way over Christmas it all went well, so it seemed like a good idea. It actually turned out great. The boys were near perfect on the way there- watching one movie after another. My sister, Courtney, had her baby on Friday and we left on Saturday so we were able to stop in Little Rock at the hospital to see them (see previous post). We spent Saturday night and Sunday morning with my folks and Liliy who came back to Searcy with us. The boys went to see Grandma and Grandpa (Nathan's parents) on Sunday night and stayed all day Monday. My mom and I were able to go back to LR on Monday and see baby Jude again and do some shopping. We got lucky and found material for the baby room, so that was exciting. The rest of the week was spent splitting time with both families. I think McDonalds was the resteraunt of choice for the boys and you know when you are with grandparents they cant say no so I think enough nuggets and fries were eaten that week to last us all year. On Thursday we traveled back to LR and spent the morning with Courtney and Jude and then took the boys and Lily to the LR zoo. Although many animals seemed to be sleeping the afternoon away, the weather was beautiful and it was a great day with Granna and Granddad. We left to come home on Friday- the ride back was a little more challenging with 2 very tired and very spoiled boys, but they did well overall and we made it back. I think that will be my last solo trip for a while, but it is good to know I can do it if I need to.
