the grannies

it's 7.01am
i am literally dressed, packed and even showered
and about to volunarily wake my kids up...
but i have good reason.

we are headed to pittsburgh to visit my 2 dear grannies for two days.
a 5 hour trip that is well worth the meltdowns and whining that is sure to insue.
although, i have packed a melody of prizes and snacks to keep an army busy, so maybe we will avoid the meldown-zone.

pics to come.
my sweet granny (on my henricks side) has been quickly loosing her memory.
since i decided to make our trip this past weekend, she has called every day 4 and 5 times to ask when we are coming and if she should make lunch and if we are staying overnight, and if it's ok that she is getting her roof replaced and there will be shingles on the ground.
i can't tell you how dear she is to my heart, but it is painful to repeat our details so many times knowing that we just discussed them a few min earlier. painful because i know what it means.

so we are trecking off, all by our lonesome
and i couldn't be more excited.

....if you think of it...
pray for me in the car with 2 toddlers and only 2 hands to which i will need to drive, drink coffee, pickup toys, hand toys, snacks, drinks, books, etc.
wish i was gumby :)
