Addy's New Hair

Brenden was modeling Addysen's new hair for everyone the other day. She did however politely decline to wear the wig. She screamed, "No", and threw it on the ground! Oh well, it is after all only hair. We are on to bigger and better things already. Our fam damily is heading out of town this weekend, and the girls and I are getting ready to pack. I have been keeping clothes in my room after I fold them, rather than giving them to the kids to put away. I am always afraid I may not be able to find the clothes again. It also allowes me to get some packing done early. It is easier to pack for staying in a hotel as opposed to when we pack to go camping. Needless to say, we take much less stuff. We always have a cooler with us no matter where or even how far we are going. As quickly as plans change with our gang, we never know when we might not be home till 9:00 pm when we were thinking we would be home in time for dinner. So, carrying extra supplies comes in handy. I like to keep things as organized as possible, that way I have somewhat of an idea where things are. My kiddos are usually in the fight against me and try to bring as much chaos to each situation. We have road trip games all ready for the ride tomorrow, those help a lot. I like that they make our oldest two work together, which helps with the level of noise in the car. I think parents should be allowed ear plugs on long road trips. People keep saying don't drink and drive, but five children in the car may be just as distracting at times! Or it could be a reason for road rage. Maybe the person who cut you off one day had three toddlers in the car. I know Matt and I aren't the only people in history to have three toddlers at once, but we are the only people we know with a middle row full of car seats. No amount of children is an excuse for poor behavior while driving, good parents wait until they get home to shoot someone!
