Are we there yet?

When Brittany and Justin where small I made the mistake of making a "count down till..." calendar for any trip we might be taking, it was a fun little page we hung on the fridge and we would put stickers on each day as we counted down to the excitement. This year I have not done any such calendar for any of the trips that we have taken and the kids have apparently had enough of my fun sucking and are revolting to the nth degree. You see we are going to my parents for Christmas this year and Justin asked if we could count down days, I told him sure thinking he would forget like he does with most things ie. make his bed, fill wood box, brush his teeth, change his underwear, you know the basics. Well everyday for 2 weeks Justin has been asking me how many more days till we leave, it has gotten so bad that today I had to tell him I was going to cancel his trip to Colorado if he kept bouncing off the walls. Rebekah promptly asked "Where are we going Mom?" I said "To Denver" she looked at me sad and almost started to cry "I don't want to go to Denbur, I want to go to Papa and Memaws house." So I spent a good amount of time convincing her that Denver meant Memaw and Papas and that yes she did get to stay in their house. When I asked Michael how he was feeling about meeting all these new people he said "Happy" :) and the other day Justin said to him "Michael, something even more better then Memaw and Papas house is this restaurant called Chipotle." Brittany is giddy with excitement and I am looking forward to a 16 hour nap with ear plugs so I do not have to hear "Are we there yet, are we there yet?" oh and Coby is thrilled beyond words. Lookout Colorado the Bennett's are coming and you will NEVER be the same!!!
