Friday, January 9th, 2009 Vacation Disaster We are halfway to St. Louis, and I just realized we forgot my suitcase. OMG. We had to turn around. Also the worst kids in the whole world are in the backseat.
2) This is a good time to start drinking.Dave HeinzelFriday, January 9, 2009
3) or give the kids a shot of JD. (I'm only kidding of course... Please don't hate!! ) :)KTkatFriday, January 9, 2009
4) Must be a McDonalds along the way to soothe the savage driver and maybe the kids too. :)LGrantFriday, January 9, 2009
5) Oh, no! Although after the kids go to bed tonight a couple of drinks for you and Dave might be the only thing to help!
Oh and don't forget to buy me a crappy t-shirt. Size = Pregnany ladysoundchickFriday, January 9, 2009
6) Oh no----that really sucks!justmegFriday, January 9, 2009
7) We just got back home. An hour and a half in the car with the worst kids ever, and we have literally gotten nowhere. Ethan and Mia hate us now. They hate each other too. Courtney and I are ok with each other, but if we forget one more thing, it's all gonna fall apart. Family vacations are awesomez!!Dave HeinzelFriday, January 9, 2009
8) We were getting ready to leave, and Ethan decided to pull a table over onto his face. I ran over and caught it about an inch from smashing into his forehead. Good times. We had a serious talk, and I think the kids are scared for their lives now. Here we go. God help us.Dave HeinzelFriday, January 9, 2009
9) So is the flight not until the morning? Sorry to hear about the trial, guys. Maybe the kids start dozing soon? You all are going to Miami-Fort Lauderdale, right? Any dead time? I'm only 75 minutes from Fort Lauderdale.BrianFriday, January 9, 2009
10) Just got in bed at the hotel. What a night. Brian - I do not think we have any down time in your area unfortunately. We get whisked onto the boat and are force-fed as soon as we show up. Goodnight Humzoo!Dave HeinzelFriday, January 9, 2009
11) Okay. I've been awake since about 2. It's now 3. Alarm goes off a 4:20. Apparently I'm only capable of sleeping 4 hours every night. Everyone is snoring. Why am I hungry? Forgot the kids' sunglasses. Oh well. Mia has graciously allowed me 6 inches of mattress. Ethan is sleeping with every limb as far apart as they can get on dave's bed. I've never slept in bed with Mia before. It's sweet between the times she jams her toes between my ribs. Thought I was done with that sensation after I gave birth to her.Courtney HeinzelSaturday, January 10, 2009
12) I hate sleeping with toddlers, and yes, I'm up as well. Gwendolyn got me up around 2:45, and Bill is gone with Galvin at his mother's, so there's no one to massage me back to sleep. *sigh* Maybe I'll play Solitaire.
Have a good time on the cruise!!AngiSaturday, January 10, 2009
13) We made it through security at Lambert a lttle after five. Had a small breakfast. Waiting on the plane to Atlanta. Seems to be on time so far. Everyone has been pottied.Courtney HeinzelSaturday, January 10, 2009
14) Good luck, Heinzels!! I hope you get some child-free time on this trip. It sounds like you could use some.Sarah S.Saturday, January 10, 2009
15) That's what granparents are for. It will all be worth it as soon as you fel the wrm sunshine!dannieSaturday, January 10, 2009
16) In Miami. Heading to the ship. The kids have not been perfect butas good as they possibly could be. I was complimented on their excellent behavior on the first flight. I'm very proud of them. The weather here is fantastic. Can't wait to put on shorts!Courtney HeinzelSaturday, January 10, 2009
17) some of us enjoy it year round... (grin)
You all have a blast.BrianSaturday, January 10, 2009
