Trials and Tribulations... or just a car ride with three kids

We survived the gauntlet of six(ish) hours in a car with three small children. I believe we were all on the brink of a sudden plunge into craziness as we pulled into my brother and sister in law's house. With the exception of one or two or three stops... ok maybe more than that... we drove straight here. One of the stops I'll tell you about if the time arises, a few were bathroom breaks and one was at a rinky dink diner that we pulled into to do a neb treatment on Kiley.

Poor thing was really wheezing and working hard to breathe, it was try a neb or head on into a clinic/er. Thankfully after pinning Kiley down and holding up the mask to her face she got the medicine in and fell asleep not long after it kicked in. She seemed to be doing better for the most part after that. We did have to do one more once we got here and her older cousin was very concerned about the fact I was pinning Kiley down and holding this steaming noisy mask up to her face. I read later on the package of directions: "Try to breathe in deeply and calmly... oops...

Currently Abby is sitting on the couch with me... and no one else because she happened to wake up... again and didnt want to go back to sleep. She is telling me about how the storm made a mess and wants to know how we are going to clean it up. I'm not really sure where she picked up the bit about the storm, knocking down trees and such. Of course the heater kicked on and she told me that the train was coming?

But back to our trip, we were able to meet our beautiful new niece and Abby was able to see her other cousin whom she has been dying to see for the last few weeks... and who turned out to NOT have taken her swimming pool. (Where she gets these ideas...) She was a little scattered yesterday and I had very low hopes for our potty training... just too long in a car even with frequent stops and then she was too excited to be coming to see her cousins. We'll probably work on it more when we get home again.

Abby is now warming my feet with her feet... because they are cold. Hers are the cold ones.

Kara was the best out of all three yesterday, just haaaaaaaaapy and playing and loving life. Her carseat was stuck facing the back too! Silly little girl. She even did her little "Hah Hah Hah" and evil genius growl later. Oh and her new cousin... she looooves to go see her and pet her head and say "niiiiiiice" Kiley didn't ever really notice her but that is ok, I'd rather her not be around the new baby much just in case.

Well Abby is telling me it's time to get off my computer. I'm not sure what we will be up to today other than that I hope to do photos of Baby L :o)
