Because of the blizzard, Travis came home early on Monday and stayed on Tuesday. We were so happy to have him home during the week, it felt like another weekend for us. The streets were cleared enough to get out so we ventured out hoping we wouldn't get stuck. Our side street is usually the last to get plowed :( and our van doesn't get around very well. As we were driving through the snow, Travis exaggerated the situation to be funny. The boys really enjoyed his hysterics. We treated the boys to a slushy and pretzel (more butter than pretzel) at Auntie Anne's-I restrained myself to only a couple of bites. But the most memorable part of our outing was squeezing all 5 of us into a little picture booth. Picture this in your head if you can, Travis gets in-all 6'3'' of him followed by Oliver and Thatcher who both sit on his lap. Then I get in holding Sebastian. Travis then attempts to put his crumbled dollar bills into the slot as the boys squirm and bicker about touching and breathing on each other. Why didn't we put the money in first? The machine kept spitting the last bill back out while Travis is juggling the boys on his lap, he even drops it. By then we are laughing at the chaos and irony of the situation-all to get a silly picture that doesn't turn out anyway! We finally get through the 4 poses and by then 2 of the 3 kids are crying and we are yelling at each other. Feel the love? We fall out of the booth and start laughing again when we see the pictures replayed on the screen. They show instant replay of the session, even in between the shots. Very funny to see us trying to get all 5 of us into a little frame-which we didn't succeed at that. I think one of my eyes is in one picture. But the memory will last forever. I am going to try and scan the picture onto the computer so I can post it-I know you will appreciate seeing the results.
