Lisa and I are posting this together. I am trying to encourage her to start her own blog, but she is resistent. She thinks there is no need to post anything since I am posting the same thing, but how wrong is she??? You could get another perspective on a lot of the same events since we are together so much! :-)
Anyway, we arrived safely in Lake Gaston, NC at around 8:00 last night. It was a longer drive than we anticipated- it took us about 15 hours. We hit a bad traffic jam around Washington, DC and it lasted too long for my comfort anyway. We also stopped for lunch and got out to eat so the kids would have a break. But as far as traveling with 5 kids goes, it was a calm, successul trip- no puking, no pooping in bags, no fights, and Sis' screaming was kept at a minimum. Haha Mom fixed dinner for those who wanted to eat, the kids played for awhile and we actually got to bed late for such a long day.
Today was so much fun! We ate breakfast and then Lisa and I took Maya and Sadie for a walk while my mom took the older 3 to the store. Then we all met back and stayed out in the water for the majority of the day. My dad set up the water tramp later in the afternoon, so the kids got to enjoy that for awhile. We swam, jumped off the boat dock, sunned, etc. all day. Around 4:30 we came inside to rest, but the kids "practiced" for the show they were going to perform tonight instead. We had my dad's birthday dinner and then came in the living room for the big show. Cobe was on guitar, Aliyah was the gymnast/dancer, and Brooks was on drums. The show lasted all of 30 seconds before Aliyah fell and broke open an old scab and was pouring out blood, so the show did NOT go on! So Maya and Sadie picked up the slack and danced and sang for us. Then my dad opened his presents, we had cake, the kids went back out on the dock/swimming and Lisa and I hunkered down for Big Brother at 8. The kids went to bed at 8:30. I have pictures of the big show and I did actually bring my camera cord. I do not feel like messing with it right now, but maybe in the a.m. I'll figure it out and post the pics. Off to start reading a pile of new magazines. (I forgot to post in my list of 50 things that I am a total magazine junkie!!!!)
I am going to start Lisa off on baby steps and make her post a few lines here- you girls give her a shout of encouragement so she'll want to do her own (and no, we haven't been drinking!)
Lisa: Everything Sarah said is true and so therefore I do not need to post on a blog.
Sarah: How pathetic is that??? Give her some grief!!!
HAPPY 66th BIRTHDAY DAD!!!!!!!!!

First of all, I am glad your trip went well (other than the traffic jam -that sucks).
Secondly, this one's for Lisa. While it is true that you may share a lot of things since you hang out so much, having your own blog would allow you to share pics of your kiddos. Sarah doesn't share enough pics of your kids (and why would she?). So, the blog is free so just give a shot. I'm addicted to reading blogs so I would love to have one more to read. :)
Finally, for Sarah, go ahead and help her set one up while you are on vacation. I'm sure she'll warm up to the idea and see how much fun it can be.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation!
Uh...ditto what kimberly said! lol She said everything I was gonna say...only better. :)
Come on Lisa, all the cool kids are doing it. LOL :)
SO happy things are going well over there.
Have fun and a great weekend!
Come on Lisa... you want to be part of the cool kids... don't ya? Trying out the Peer Pressure here... is it working yet?
Glad you girls made it safely and are already settled in and enjoying your vacation... so absolutely jealous I tell ya!
Hope yuse kids are having fun down there. Its me, Mrs. Neusebaum, checking in. Seeya later, going golfing...
Well, I'm a little late at posting. But I also agree with Kimberly. Lisa, don't knock it til you try it. What do they say it takes 2 weeks (or is it 3?) to make something a habit/routine. I thought the same thing about doing a blog and now I couldn't live without it! It is such a good outlet for me. Good, bad, ugly, happy, sad or just plain bragging. It's fun. I love posting pics & think how cool it would be for family to just check in here and there for stuff on the kiddos. Do it! Do it!
