List of things I have accomplished since yesterday:

- Taking the kids to play with friends at the park this morning in 50 degree weather!
- Typing up all 158 shirt sizes for trek...hunting down all 158 shirt sizes for trek...changing almost all 158 shirt sizes for trek because I had got the wrong reports.
- Emailing and answering one million questions (I was only gone for 2 hours, and I received 7 messages and 15 non junk emails....is that normal???)

- Taking chairs out of van to make room for our stuff
- Yesterday's stuff:
- Getting an oil change on the van from Jiffy Lube
- cashing in $80 worth of coins from Steve's closet at the bank (We had to go inside of the bank, I think my kids wiped out all their suckers and smarties!)
- Going shopping to make dinner (forgot to buy enough food last week to last us these couple of days before we left)
- Mowing the front and back lawn

- Having 4 happy kids and a happy, cute husband who love watching Back to the Future all the time (all three movies in the series (we got them edited...boy I love edited movies)!!!
- Having a happy family who claim every dinner and meal is the best food they have ever tasted...you guys are awesome for eating everything I fix...even if you don't always like it!
And you want to know the best thing......drumroll please.....I did it all with all 4 kids (Ok minus the shopping trip today, Byron was gone) and they all behaved almost perfectly!!!! And I had so many people tell me I was crazy for taking 4 kids under 7 anywhere!!! I have the greatest kids in the world!! They are so awesome!! So thank you Byron, Emily, Benjamin and Tyson for helping me out so much!! I love you guys!! OH and I love Steve for helping me clean and get ready for the trip...you are the best, BABE!!!

WOW...you need a vacation before you even go on vacation!!
Adg, I will be in Waco on Sat/14 to Wed/18. I can't wait to see you. I have loved getting to know your family a bit through blogging, but am anxious to meet them formally in person.
Mindi :)
It is always so much work to get ready to go on a trip, especially with kids. I hope you are having a great time.
