Seriously people!

So we flew out to California today to spend a week with Chris's sister and brother-in-law.

All was going smoothly. First flight, no incidents, the kids did GREAT even though we woke them up at 5 am. Caden did decide to poop on the flight though (I know that's gross to share but anyone who's had kids knows it's not fun to change a poopy diaper in a tiny airplane seat). Small problem though.

Second flight started out great. Caden fell asleep and Hannah was happily entertaining herself with her planner and books. Then, some lady reaches around her seat and Hannah says "that lady tried to grab me!" I'm like "what??" then the "lady" (20 something year old punk who OBVIOUSLY has not spent time around children) says "your daughter is kicking my seat."

Ok, fine, no big deal, she's not doing it on purpose so I ask her to please stop. (Um, on a side note lady, even if my child was kicking your seat that does not give you the right the grab her leg!!!)Now mind you, right now I'm not too annoyed. I have Chris with me so I'm not worried at all...and I'm kinda in my momma mode of "if you say or do anything to my kids when they are doing nothing wrong, big mean momma bear will protect her cubs!"

So here's the really annoying thing. Every stinkin' time anything would slightly bump this lady's chair she would turn around and glare at Hannah, huffing and puffing (Ok, I couldn't exactly hear the huffing, but she was VERY upset). I even just moved her tray table up and the chick just whips around like she's gonna catch Hannah in the act of purposely bumping her chair.

Honestly, I thought it was hilarious but Hannah was a little nervous for a while. She said "mommy, will you switch seats with my that lady scares me, she keeps looking at me like (wide eyes, really stern scary face). "

Well, we're here now. The kids did, in my opinion, GREAT! There were no tantrums or melt downs or tears of any kind. I guess Hannah's a pretty seasoned veteran when it comes to planes and Caden is pretty chill if he's with his mommy and daddy. Funny thing, the stewardess walked by at the end of the flight and commented on how well our kids fly! Yes, thank-you very much!

All I have to say is, thank-goodness my kids were on their best behavior because I wouldn't have wanted to see how upset that girl got if they were actually screaming and kicking her seat and being a nuisance.

random happenings

Ok, I have all these random things that I need to post so that I don't forget them.

First of all, Caden has learned to jump. He bounces around the house so much that we've nicknamed him tigger. I'll try to post a video tomorrow, it's super cute! :) I think he bounces as much as Hannah runs, and that's a lot!

Caden has also learned a few new words. He can now point to water and say "wawa". He also says "I ove oo" (that's I love you). He also says something strange whenever he ways goodbye to someone, he says "dare dey doe" ...we think it's "there they go".

Hannah and my mom were playing upstairs while the rest of the family watched a sports game downstairs. Apparently Hannah heard us cheering and said matter of factly "The Cubs just won the Stanley Cup." ...Hey, we're just proud that our little four year old knows what the Stanley Cup is!

The other night Hannah told Chris and that she loved Jesus more then anything in the whole world!
