Dallas Visit-Phase 1

Packed the bags

Loaded the car

Picked up Con from school

Ready to go

Dallas Bound

We actually made great time

It's an easy drive

And now that the boys have their headphones,

A peaceful one

We decided to eat dinner at the hotel restaurant

Me at a restaurant with 3 boys

Alone

And it's not McDonalds or Chick-Fil-A

SCARYVILLE

The boys did GREAT

Damn I'm good

Now up to the room for bed

I got everyone to sleep

Unfortunately....

not everyone stayed asleep

Christian either does not like strange places

or sleeping in his play pen

It was a loooonnnnnggg night

But our first full day "home" was spent with Ben

Connor's bestie soul mate

These 2 are inseparable

We spent the entire day with this beautiful family

The big boys were non stop

And sweet Sophia being all girly and motherly took care of Christian

I put Christian down for a nap in Samantha's room

Went in to check on him and found 

 He had opened Sam's drawers and pulled out clothes

 After about an hour of quiet play

He finally fell asleep

Back at the hotel 

I bathed the little boys

 I sweetly remembered it was at this very same hotel 

that Christian had his very first "big boy" bath

And now I can barely control him in the tub

I know my sis just puked a little in her mouth at the thought of hotel bathtub

Don't worry

I washed the germs off

See

Christian is having fun

It's all good

But better than the tub....

The cool air blowing those little blondie hairs

Sam brought Con to the hotel around 8

She heard the other ones crying screaming

And refused to leave

She climbed right up into the bed with Colton 

And calmed him down

Now that's a friend folks!

It was 9:30 before the little ones were asleep

And a couple of hours later

Christian was up again

For the night

It was then that I swore I was never traveling alone with them again

EVER

But I am sure I will

Phase 2 of our trip later
