After months of preparation, (or, if you want to be logical...) After a week and a half of preparation, it's finally here! Soon, we'll be off to St. George! SamMan has gotten the swim bag out a bunch, and his version of packing is getting a bag of pretzels, a blow-up swim carrier, and his swimsuit and informing us he's ready to go. He told Mo yesterday, after spending various times during the week in just a swimsuit, "Mommy, today I will wear my swimsuit. It's not too cold. I'm going to go outside. OK??" Sticking to his stubborn traits, (now where in the heck did he get those from??) he wore his swimsuit around the house all day. It was the longest day of his, and Mo's. He has been absolutely sure for the last two weeks that today will be the day we will go. And when the kids got their third day off, he was crying for S-A-I-N-T G-E-O-R-G-E, (I'm scared to even type it, since we have him cleverly stalled with Out of the Box.) Luckily, the awesome,awesome Barneys let us escape with a Cafe Rio lunch, an easter egg hunt/dye, and jumping on the trampoline. It was so awesome, thank you Barneys!! After our escape, we ate leftovers and watched Idol.
Now, we wait, for the grand moment were we
finally put our bags into the car, check our activity backpacks, pick up Grandpa Brent, and head out. YES!!!! :)
Jogusboy will be back Sunday. I hear Daddy coming back from the store, so I have a bit of work to do.
Bon Voyage.
I've been waiting
for-ev-er to say that.
a verry happy and getting-ready-for-tropical-vacation jogusboy.
