Wisconsin Trip in numbers

*2 times on the plane, one going, one coming back.

*1 good plane trip.

*1 absolutely terrible plane trip. (Let's just say it including sitting on the plane an extra hour+, a bloody mouth, and screaming kids, well, really just screaming Brynlee)

*8 mornings where Brynlee woke up totally soaked through b/c she had slept so long.

*10 morning that Carson would crawl in to bed with me and go back to sleep. (So sweet and something we don't do at home)

*1 super cool sister to hang out with.

*two fun cousins to play with, Gwen and Claire.

*2 blow-up beds

*1 pack-n-play

*1 cold basement :)

*1 very cool laundry shoot that Carson couldn't get enough of.

*512: the number of times Brynlee body-slammed poor Claire

*3 domes visited

*2 Santas seen

*2 sick kids

*6 pukes; Gwen x 2, Bryn x 4.

*689 loads of laundry done

*1 time singing in church with Katherine

*2 Christmas parties

*2 Birthday parties.

*5 stores visited to find stinking plain barrettes to make bows for Gwen. (still never found them)

*1 bag of bugs purchased at the Dollar Tree

*1 binkie lost at the dollar tree

*25 breadsticks eaten at the Olive Garden

*1 snowstorm with 1 stuck car

*1,498 times I talked to Dan on the phone :)

*1,498 times I complained to Dan about crazy kids on the phone.

*1,489 times I should've said 'sorry' or just not complained at all...sorry Dan...and cute kids of mine!

*4 crazy new hair-do's we did on Gwen's hair.

*12 burp cloths made for Claire.

*2 cute towels made for the girls.

*2 snowflake dresses made for the girls.
*240 hours of fun!!!
***As you can see, we had a very crazy, exciting, and FUN trip to visit Katherine and her girls in Wisconsin!!! We miss you guys already...and your eyeballs!!
And here is a cute video of Claire-bear laughing. Carson said she sounds like a mummy. Whatever she sounds like, she was super cute laughing!!!

How funny--when you list it by numbers, you definately get a picture of the chaos and fun.
