Blog in a car

Driving in the car with my 2 kids, and my sisters 3 kids.

The landscape passes by at phenomenal rate

or at least at 75 miles per hour anyway.

The children are happy tearing off individual sheets of paper off of a notepad, one sheet at a time.

Hey, had I known I would have brought a box of kleenex AND a tub of baby wipes!

As the journey continues we hear

Hayden shout LOUDLY - At least once every five minutes

COWS!

Silence reigns supreme for like a nanosecond and we are hit with

Brandon saying

Izzy won’t let Alyssa look in her water bottle

Mom says

Why does she need to look in it?

Brandon says

She needs to look at herself to see if she is bald

I roll my eyes and begin to try to ignore the insanity!

Time Marches on

Cars wiz by

Izzy shouts out Loudly

I’m waiting for my butt to burn

I don’t even want to know.

More trees

more dead grass

About every 30 minutes or so

Hayden begins to laugh

HYSTERICALLY

for no apparent reason

and his giggle/ laugh is so contagious cute!

Except that now we know that he laughs like this every time he FARTS!

This whole time, trees, dead grass, cars and all I Swear every 5 seconds I hear……

Mommy? Becca? Mommy? Mommy? Becca! Becca! Hey Becca! Becca Guess What? Becca, Becca, Becca

So I give in to one of them and I say

yes Alex?

and Alex says

I’m not Alex, I’m Pikachu!

What do I say?

Becca’s Not Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MOM I need water says Isabel

I say

Here have some soda

Isabel says

Noooooo! I want to be healthy – my throat neeeeds waaatttterrrr!

Suddenly I realize

Hey guys – I haven’t heard any screaming for a while, is Alyssa ok?

The “guys say

she’s asleep!

So, That explains it!

THIS IS WHY PEOPLE WITH CHILDREN DRIVE AT NIGHT!

Who thinks this way!

Although these guys are actually quite hilarious – at this point I would be content with

When are we going to be there!

Auuuugggghhhh!
