According to Joe, this is the number of days left until we go to Omaha. (He's also in need of a vacation...) I started the countdown on the message board by the door on Friday. Alaina is very excited about going to see Grandma. I am super excited about going to Omaha, but I am a little apprehensive about this road trip... The great thing is that Azina will be with us to help (plus she's cool to hang out with!), but I would be happy for any ideas about what to bring with me for a 2 year old and a 4 year old to do on the trip. It's going to be about 16 hours (and we're hoping not any more than that).
That's about all that's going on around here...we're working on soccer, and I'm pretty sure this is going to be the biggest season I've ever been part of. I just have this feeling that we don't know what we're in for!
Joe's parents gave us tickets to the Astros game yesterday for Mother's Day. I was away for Jared for more than an hour for the first time, and it was nice. He's also finally starting to sleep in his crib in his room, and I forgot how much I can get done when a baby is on some sort of schedule! Anyway, that wasn't the point of this paragraph. The point was that Joe bought me an Astros cap for Mother's Day, and I got to pick it out, and it's purple! Is it sacrilegious to get a baseball cap not in the team colors? Perhaps. But I don't care. I finally have an Astros hat. Even Alaina and Jadyn had one before I did, it just wasn't right. And they won yesterday!

haha that's right I'm cool to hang out with! ;) The obvious ideas would be coloring books and videos. Snacks are also helpful distractions. I can read books to them too. Also their cameras would be useful things to bring.
I think it's quite alright to get a baseball cap not in team colors. And I think purple is an excellent choice! I've been wanting a pink Boston hat for quite some time. :)
Yeah, we've got the coloring books, cameras, and videos on the list. Books are a good idea, and I'll bring some special snacks (Backyardigans fruit snacks, anyone?).
Thank you for the endorsement of my baseball cap. :) I think you need a pink Boston hat, too.
