Oh my poor neglected blog!
Well we arrived safely in Maryland and are getting a little settled in. Our household shipment should be arriving by the end of next week.
The cross country trip wasn't too bad. Kayla was a pretty good traveler. Although I packed a bag full of stuff for her to do, nothing really kept her interest for more than 5 min at a time; and that's hard when she gets bored so easily! We do have a DVD player and she did watch some movies, but even that gets old after awhile! Lucas, on the other hand, is a good traveler as long as he is sleeping!! Thankfully he did sleep quite a bit on the trip, but when he was done sitting in the carseat, he was done! And he sure let you know he was done. It's hard being stuck in a vehicle with a screaming/crying baby and you can't do anything for them (stopping and taking a break is only a brief reprieve, once he was put back in the seat he was p'oed!) So I'm glad we're done driving for awhile (well except for the 3.5 hrs to NJ when we have to drop Joe off for his month of training.)
My mom and I hit Kohl's today; there isn't a Kohl's in the town I just left so this could be a dangerous thing! They had some great sales going on ... I was able to get pjs for Lucas for $4, shirts and pants for $2 and $3, shirts for Kayla for $1.40/1.80...I think I had a little too much fun shopping!
Then I had a rude awakening at the grocery store. I buy Kayla V8 Fusion. I'm used to paying $3.10 at the commissary on Holloman; I almost fainted when I saw the price at Safeway - $4.19! My goodness groceries are more expensive on this part of the country! I haven't had a chance to price compare at the commissary on Andrews, but I'm guessing it would be pretty similar.
I'm slowly getting used to more people, more traffic, more stores, more restaurants, and more prices! :) Hopefully I'll get back to regular blogging soon.
So how are we spending this new year's eve? Watching Kayla learn to Wii bowl and Wii box! She is so funny when she's punching the bag...her little butt is shaking and wiggling back and forth; guess it helps her put some extra umfph in her punches!
Happy New Year!
