We leave tomorrow for New Zealand.
I’ve been packing for a week.
I am ready!
The boys have been good during this crazy build-up time but they’ve been left to their own devices most of the time. A 7 month old knows exactly what to do with himself and begins to move around and get into everything! He isn’t crawling yet but he’s getting around and this poses all kinds of new issues in the House of Q.
Kai has been good except for the runny green nose and nasal congestion that just set in. Why is it that we like to travel at a sub-optimal level? Ah well, we’re bound to get something on that plane, but again we’ll be dishing it out as strong as we’re getting it!
So Kai will be enjoying some new treats on the plane (see below) and Connor will be trying to crawl all over me, pinch me and stick his fingers in my mouth for 16 hours! I can’t wait!
Jeff claims he’s going to stake out some other seat and I just chuckle inside because each boy is a little mini-Jeff so he’s not getting away at all. Passengers will recognize him and demand he return to his crazy family to shut them up. I, on the other hand have a very real window of escape that may happen as I scope out the empty seats upon boarding!
Here are some quick pics of how ready we are!
I spread it out, then weeded through 101 times. I think I have the bare minimum... but we'll see.

This, my friends is what you call... Survival! If this isn't a vinette in the 'Book of Awesome' yet, add it in because this treat box is a 3 year old's dream. Jeff wanted one too but he got a ziploc of the leftovers! *Caution* these are not Gramma Lizzie approved- too sticky and apparently not nutritious!
