Webcams

We went and bought webcams today.  See the kids and I are flying to IL to visit my family for 3 weeks and daddy is really going to miss his babies so we bought webcams.  One for our house and one for Grannylou's house (actually lou lou bought her own).  Anyway, we hooked ours up today and I am taking the other one to my mom's and will hook it up to her computer so we can see daddy and he can see us!  I hope this helps the kids during our trip since it will be so long.  They cherish their daddy time (and so do I).  I am so blessed to have a husband that comes home and completely takes over with the kids.  He has even been designated as the hair comber.  Grace screams when I do her hair but sits perfectly still for daddy.  Today she came out with pigtails.  The part looked awesome on top and was a bit all over the place in the back but I was so thrilled that he did it!  We tried out our webcam today by calling Grannylou and she was able to see the kids and hear them through the computer but we had to have the phone on since she doesn't have hers hooked up yet.  They were so super excited to see themselves on the computer...just wait until the see daddy on the computer.

We spent quite a bit of time at Target as well.  I bought a few items to keep them busy on the plane since I have decided not to take a dvd player.  Might be a huge mistake but ours broke and the kids fight over who gets to sit closer anyway, so we would probably have to have 2 so there aren't any major meltdowns over who is closer or what movie we are watching.  We shall see what happens.  Hopefully there will be lots of prayers for mommy and the kids on Tuesday during the middle of the day.  I actually plan to head to the last row of the plane so I can be close to the flight attendants and the bathroom since we will probably make a few trips there. Also, I figure it is loud back there anyway so the kids probably won't bother anyone anyway.  Once again, we'll see.  Last time we flew there were 2 adults and each one took a kid and carseat.  I'm taking both kids alone and no carseats.  What was I thinking?  I was completely crazy when I booked the flight and now I don't have a choice b/c too many people are expecting us.  Guess that will be a fun entry for next weekend.  Stories from the plane!
