Hotel Bliss


So we are on a long stretch of hotel days and nights which is very interesting with 2 young boys. The first 3 nights we were in different places but now we are in the same hotel for a few nights, in Meadville, PA (aka home of the zipper). Today was an eventful day, Brady and I spent 3 full hours in the pool, ate at the Cracker Barrel, and had DQ for desert after an in room dinner. There are surly some challenges to this type of a life - we happen to have one pack-n-play set up in the bathroom which makes it a bit challenging to use the potty after 8.30 - there is the constant planning and thinking ahead to possible problems, the car naps, and the driving driving driving -- but honestly we are having a lot of fun. There are so many light little things that happen every day that keep us laughing and we are so happy to be together. Here are some funny things: I got Brady the Little People Noah's Arc toy - since we are in a hotel, I like to have one new thing to help entertain them and he loves animals. I've been saving them for Meadville since we're going to be here a while. He saw the box the first night and just stared at it, no fit or anything just staring at it. The next night he saw it and named all of the animals, then he kept asking Big Dad for them - "Big Dad" I want one of those zebras".... it was so cute and he was so patient. When we gave it to him tonight he was so happy. The other day when we were leaving McDonalds he saw a half sucked lollipop in the ashtray and tried to grab it. Today when we were leaving the pool it was so cold and Brady was running down the halls screaming in his Mr. Incredible swim suit. McKinley is starting to bite which shouldn't be funny but he laughs every time and it is so funny. Brady talks himself to sleep every night and says the funniest thing, usually he ends up putting himself in time out and apologizing to everyone he can think of. I don't know if these make you laugh but they fill my heart with happiness.
