And We're Off!

We are headed to the airport! Curtis has had a total of zero hours of sleep (he actually went into the office and finished up some loose ends) and im on a solid 5 hours. Traveling for the next 17 hours with a small herd of little boys sounds like a fun and relaxing time. Probably quite restful,  right? We will fly to Atlanta, then to Paris and then to Toulouse. We will land in Toulouse around 2am Tulsa time. So far in the travel we have broken a guitar string and i didnt even cry. I am traveling like a champ! If i can handle curtis and my dad fighting about politics for the rest of the drive to Tulsa then it's all uphill from there!
We have Kindle Fires for the flights, I have a bag packed with snacks  (curtis said "oh glad you remembere the sugar snap peas!!" But it sounded sarcastic in nature). None of my kids pooped yet this morning despite my pleading. So I'll let you know how the flights work out!
We have been so blessed by all of our people. It takes a village to move us and we have a top notch village. Teachers had parties and had kids make cards for the kids, my friends threw us parties, people HIRED  BABYSITTERS  to come to my party, grandparents have watched kids, people are caring for our dogs, out house, helping us move, made us gifts,  bought us gifts, opened up their salon on their day off to gift me with beautiful hair. It has been fabulous.  Thanks for blowing up my phone this morning with the prayers and good wishes.  We love you and will catch you guys June 7th when we get back! Just in time for the lake!

I have that song "ya'll gonna make me lose my mind, up in here, up in here" in my head and i cant get it out. ...

  3. That picture. Not even sure you needed to write a blog entry. The boys are clearly lamenting. Whyyyyy didn't we poop when mom asked us?

    Have fun. KEEP writing. I'll keep you updated all Trump-related face palming.

    1. Look at grandad, having a google account! Curtis must be a bad influence on you! Tell grammy that the kids are happy and having a great time! Beckett LOVES airplanes. It has been life changing for him
