Oreo Day

Rebecca truly thought Memorial Day was Oreo Day. She was slightly disappointed that it wasn't a holiday dedicated solely to the enjoyment of Oreos, but she still enjoyed the day.

We rode to Arlington with Chris and Katrina. It was a decent drive. They might think twice about volunteering to do a 5+ hour trip (both ways) again. The kids were pretty good, just a little loud. I have never heard "Shoo Fly Don't Bother Me" so many times. The DVD players will definitely be packed next time. It really made me think long and hard about our trip to Washington coming up in September. Last time we moved, we planned on alternating between the Jeep and the car with the kids. But driving the Jeep at 75 or so really freaks me out. It starts shaking with the wind and it's so tall that I just drove with the kids most of the way. I think the kids will be fine though - when we drove to Colo they were good and pretty calm most of the way.

The picnic was nice. Really yummy salmon and good sides to go along. The kids ate croissants and more croissants for their main course. They love plain vegetables, but they're not too adventurous on other dishes yet. I brought the same trifle Michael brought last year and it was good.

We had Pat's Pizza back at Chris and Katrina. They're cheesy bacon fries are very, very evil. And Liam is still sleeping at 8:35. Amazing. Rebecca, however, was up before 6 am. Not her mother's child.
