Time to come home!

Tuesday morning came way too quickly for Adam and I. We had to get up and get the van loaded and the kids ready to go. We had a few errands to run and then it was off to the airport. We were a bit more prepared this time and packed our bags a little bit more airline friendly. It helps when you know what to expect. I think we were all ready to come back home. Maddie was a little resistant to getting on the plane to come home, but once we were in the air she was fine. She was looking out the window and could see the gulf of mexico. That was really neat. Our flights were on time and were smooth compared to our trip down. I sat next to Carter on the plane and he just chatted my ear off. I took allot of pictures out the window of the plane on the way home. I was proud of myself because I conquered my fear of flying by going on this trip. I did not even need the medication the doctor gave me to calm my nerves. I only needed Dramamine to fight motion sickness. We got into Omaha at 5:30 pm and by the time we got our luggage and drove through for supper it was 7 pm. The kids and I slept on the drive home. We were all exhausted. Maddie did not go back to school until Thursday. She needed Wednesday to catch back up on sleep and to do her homework. We went to get groceries when Adam got back from attending planter school and picking up Wrigley. Three carts of groceries and $363 later we were on our way home. We did not have much to eat and so now our cupboards are stocked back up. I have spent the last 2 days doing laundry. I am almost caught up! The boys seem to be happy to be back at home and in their routines.
