Woohoo! The days are starting to blend together as they fly by. Sorry it has taken me so long to blog. We are so busy doing stuff during the day and at night we all get together for a couple hours and reformat the trip. Now that we have a more realistic idea of our limits, we are restructuring our trip to accommodate the gas mileage, the mph, and how long it takes us to get ready in the morning. We've already bypassed some cities and added some things we originally did not have on the itinerary. I know a lot of you want the itinerary posted on the website so you know where we are headed, but to tell you the truth, we don't even know exactly where we are going! It literally changes every day. We have a general idea where we are headed, and we are stopping along the way at things that look cool.
I really have to restrain myself from blogging about nature and landscape. I immediately turn to that because it is what makes the biggest impression on me. Must be the science nerd in me. I thought I'd take a minute and tell ya'll how living with three boys has been this far.
Number one: boys are gross. At least three times a day I hear the phrase, "Ok, who did it? No, it's not me, I always claim mine." The smells these boys emit can be fatal at times. We could be at the most historically significant and most beautiful place in the whole world, and they would be running around trying to find a funny picture to take. A cozy night in consists of Mortal Kombat battles and finding new fatality moves. For those of you who are not video game saavy, fatalities are moves you can do to another player in the game that "Finishes Him". This can be ripping out his spine or exploding his head between your hands or my favorite, the "torso crusher" which is the player kicking the top half of the other player clean off at the waist. Um, no thank you. Boys, at least these boys, fight about the dumbest things. For instance, is vanilla ice cream a flavor or is it just ice cream? If you could pay someone to be your best friend, who would it be? Why is AJ's soap the communal soap bar? KFC or Pizza Hut buffet? Does urine have enough ammonia in it to give someone a migraine? Why don't you get your own chapstick? I'm just hitting the tip of the iceberg here. But you know, I don't feel too sorry for myself. I'm the only one on the trip that can use this excuse to get out of doing just about everything: "Because I'm the girl, that's why!"

Well, that blew my last comment under AJ's "Texas" blog all to pieces! Sort of. I'm still impressed with you guys anyway, at least when you're in public. Maybe boys need that kind of release... Maybe? Just remember Julia, Southwest has flights back (most non-stop) from almost anywhere in the US.

Relax boys, this girl's a one-of-a-kind trooper and would not back off of a challenge. It would take a whole lot more than that!

I'm totally impressed you've lasted this long...look on the bright side, at least KFC or Pizza Hut are a little less fatal than, let's say, Taco Bell...

Haha, I liked that.

I want to hear about nature and the landscape. Glad you are enjoying the boys.

"Ok, who did it? No, it's not me, I always claim mine."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I think that you just captured the essence of someone's personality through one phrase. Cheers!

I agree with Mom G and Mom L, (I love that by the way, I have gone from being somebodies mom to Mom I.)
Anyway, I am so impressed that you lasted this long. I like your blogs they are so descriptive. AJ's make me want to be there and yours make me feel like I am there.

I love your blogs too =) I can't imagine living with 3 boys and in such confined spaces. One is enough for me. haha Sounds like you are still having a blast though.

We are sorry. New comments are not allowed after 7 days.
