1 - Naps
2 - Reading, a lot
3 - Not fixing dinner
4 - One on one time with Nathan
5 - Missing my kids ( It is wonderful to know you miss them.)

Best thing (for Russ) about taking the girls to visit Oregon for five days:
This story.
On the plane ride home Savannah talked non-stop. She yelled out comments constantly, such as pointing out her excitement of seeing a "VOLCANO!!!" as they were taking off, and "Zooming" when they were landing. Russ heard her many comments repeated quietly by the people around him. (Thankfully no one seemed annoyed.) Then just as they landed,
Savannah: "I have to go to the bathroom...really bad!"
Russ: "Okay we have to wait for all these people to get off the plane first."
S: [quite loudly] "Oh no, the PEEPS ARE ALMOST COMING OUT!!!!"
Miraculously the crowd parted immediately and allowed them to exit. The 5 or 6 rows ahead of them, having heard the conversation, was more than happy to let them through, with a smile. Then, as they walked quickly through the terminal to the bathroom:
S: "Peeps, stay inside, OK? Stain inside peeps."
Abbie, under her breath: "Sav - van - nah stop saying that. People can hear you!"
S: " I have to tell the peep to stay inside!

That's the best story ever! Stay inside peeps, stay inside! That's what I chant when I jump on the trampoline with my boys.
That is hilarious! It's nice when people are kind about kids traveling. What a fun trip! Your next stop? Vegas!! :)
