Worst Part of the Day - Is the horse beaten to dead yet? 4:58 a.m. CST both boyz are up and att 'em. YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME. AAARRRGGGHHH.

Also I got a later start than I wanted to after a somewhat stressful restaurant lunch with nana, papa, Jen, and all the kidz. At one point IMP drank dressing and then proceeded to throw dirt from a plant all over himself and the floor. Uh OH, indeed. SB is throwing a fit for no apparent reason (other than being hungry.) On the way to the bathroom for the second time (to wash dirt filled hands) the waitress asked "do you need anything?" And I said "yes, a nanny."
But I do have to say that both boyz ate very well (including the shot o' dressing) and if it had been Erik and I doing the "we've only got a short window lunch", it probably would have been fine. It's just others like a leisurely lunch (and I do too!)

I left SB with nana and papa and he is still a bit off and it made me feel a bit anxious to leave him. But I'm sure he will be fine and have lots of fun (hopefully).

Finally, during a stop at a gas station to buy some sugar to keep me awake on the drive back to Michigan a guy in front of me bought about ten lottery tickets that EACH had to be manually numbered or some such nonsense. I wanted to shake him and say "YOU ARE NOT GOING TO WIN, I NEED SUGAR NOW AND I HAVE TO GET ON THE ROAD BEFORE IMP DESTROYS THE PLACE." Sigh.

Best Part of the Day -
Nana made some sort of Austrian crepe that was pretty dern good - and it was so fun for SB and I to watch her make them.
We went to the Discovery Children's Museum and the boyz were super, super good. When it was time to go I said to SB "time to go bye bye" and he just followed me out. Hooray.

I made it back to Michigan, IMP went right to snoozeland (after a huge dinner of course) and I am soon to follow. Looking forward to a nap manana.
