I Mustache You a Question...

This is just a random pose the girls and the six year old made while wearing mustaches. I had to post it for the benefit of later humiliation and blackmail. Yes, yes I am a good mom.

Road Trip!

We recently went to Washington state to see my brother and his family. It had been several years, and cousins really needed to see everyone again. I really didn't need to sit in a car for 12 hours, but sacrifice is part of the parenthood package. We were able to have a really fun time and the kids were able to reconnect even though we were only able to stay a few days.

At least we were able to trade off driving. Ben did all right on his leg, but he really needs to focus more on the road and less on the radio. Okay, so this is really a picture from the children's museum we visited while there.

The girls found out that they are louder than a jet plane landing and a major sporting event in the scream room. It's a fact. A fact anyone could have told them before they entered the scream room, but a fact nonetheless.

The boys loved the museum, but were too cool to admit it. Most of the time. There are no pictures available of the water table because of the excessive moisture and giggliness as they made boats and raced them in the currents they made.

We will definitely need to go back up and visit again. And next time, I will be prepared and take Valium or Benadryl so I wake up right at the end. But seriously, the kids did great and we all had a good time in the car and with cousins.
