Mini-roadtrip Number Two! (SAHD Tip #8)

This week, we were back to Uncle S's house to hang out with Grandma B and Cousin Em.  The trip out went fairly well, except for the fact that El did not want to just fall asleep and the radio was not entertaining enough, so I ended up singing. . .for the entire forty-minute drive.  And I don't exactly have a deep repertoire to dip into.  It's pretty much three sea shanties, an Irish folk song and "The Road Goes Ever On and On" from Lord of the Rings.  Also, I'm not the best singer.  But apparently it was enough for El, and she was placated.  Until we were five minutes from our destination, when she fell asleep.  Of course.

Anyway, hanging out with some family was just as fun this week as it was last.  Maybe she's growing a little accustomed to Uncle S's house, because she was agreeable enough to go down for two naps.  Of course, Em woke her up only partway through one, but at least she fell asleep without too much trouble!  Here she is all packed up for the trip:

SAHD Tip Eight - Enjoy spitup.  Seriously, enjoy the hell out of it.  My nephew, who's fourteen months, threw up on my leg today, and it's SO MUCH WORSE!  Spitup doesn't phase me at all, but real food vomit. . .blech.  And sorry for being gross.
