So sad....

I'm home. LOL My lovely vacation is over and I have returned to work. Not too bad in that I have a great group. Just the idea of work is blah. So here are some pictures for you to enjoy. Those that I have yet to post from my week getaway. Enjoy!





We ran to the store and came to find the kids doing this. Looks fun!


You try getting 7 kids to look at you AND smile.


Stacy and Princess



Stacy and Brat Baby #1




Monkey doing what he does best. Being a monkey.

Super 8 is great.......this one not so much

I don't recommend stopping at the Super 8 in Russell, KS off of I-70. We figured we'd stop cause they have decent rooms usually and a free simple breakfast. We're not looking for anything else cause we'll only be htere a few hours anyways.

So the room is SMALL. Alright whatever. LOL I can ignore that. The beds were uncomfortable and my kids have better pillows in their rooms. The bathroom was smaller then a closet and the WiFi didn't keep a reception.

This morning we get up early looking to feed the kids and get on the road. Take the stuff to the van and return to the lobby for the free breakfast (usually it consists of waffles, bagels, toast, cereal, apples, bananas, apple juice, orange juice, coffee, teas and milk) Not a bad selection and I knew it would be enough for us to be fine with - no less then we'd have at home.

Not here though - nope here only had 4 cups of waffle batter (which they also had a sign posted stating that once gone there would be no more waffle batter), Raisin Bran and Frosted Flakes cereal, nasty cut in half cinnamon pastry things, orange juice and coffee (no milk - it was only allowed for the cereal and the container had MAYBE 2 cups worth in it). Okay so we arrived at the end of the 6-9am cut off you assume. NOPE it was not even 7 am.

I felt awful cause 1. My kids had dry waffles for breakfast and 2. cause once we had the waffles there was NOTHING else for any other guests.

I have never experienced a place that offered a free brkfst but then in turn had nothing out there.

You'd think he drove

We left my Stacy's this morning to return home to Colorado.

After a million hours Chef finally decides we should stop for the night. "Cause the boys asked him to" he claims. Um okay whatever. This is after him saying all day that we will drive straight through. Princess was mad at him since she wanted her own bed tonight.

So we're here in Hays, KS. They are all watching TV (like they haven't been doing THAT all day) when we glance over to find this:


You'd of thought he did all the driving. LOL

Where's waldo (or my family for that matter)???



We're on the road again. LOL Well not "right now" We've stopped in Kingdom City, MO for the evening. So in one day we have traveled from Colorado Springs, CO to Kingdom City, MO. (Gotta love hotels free WiFi) (Also gotta love my laptop for mother's day). hehe

We have spent $125.00 on gas so far. Not too bad. Not GREAT but not too bad. Now the price of lunch ticked me off. So much for getting something "healthy". Subway is TOO expensive - should of gave them all McD's. LOL

Well I better cut it short and get to bed. Getting up at 5am so I can make sure we're on the road by 6:30. Hopefully we'll make it to Stacy's by 1pm or 2pm.
