Actually, we tried to stop and get some rest on the way back in Odessa, stopping at a "great family hotel" only to unpack the car, get the girls pajamas on and FIND BED BUGS in the hotel room's bed! Blech!!!! Todd saw the news report on them several months ago and decided to pull up the mattress to check it out and there were the "tell-tale" signs. I wasn't convinced so I googled the hotel and sure enough - lots of hits on bed bugs. So then we look a little bit more and one of the little buggers crawls by. I can't tell you how disgusted I was that I had brought my girls to somewhere they could get bitten up while we slept. I so wish we would've taken pictures - we reported it to the hotel but they totally blew us off. We were so angry about the room that we just packed the car back up, bought some Vivarin and drove til 4:30am. I was NOT stopping anywhere else to have this happen again and waste more time.
We came home, washed everything in hot water and haven't looked back although in writing this I'm really how freaking pissed off I am at the hotel. I need to give them another call on Monday. Although, as I said, we didn't take any pictures (and I take pictures of everything, what the heck?) and we weren't there long enough to get bitten so I don't think they would feel any obligation to us at all.
I've included some of my favorite Christmas pictures - my two girls fighting over the cookies for Santa. Paige tried to set them out "oh-so-nice" for Santa and all Sara wanted to do was eat them. We let them go at it for a while cause it was just so funny.
Here Paige has just finished laying out the perfect cookies for Santa. And Sara, well, she's hungry.
Paige is covering up the cookies here. I guess she thinks that Sara is going to forget that they're there???
Sara is ready to take what she feels is hers and Paige starts to melt.
And here is the full blown melt down. Sara went to bed right after this and Paige got to arrange her cookies any way she wanted.
