Our trip home from Louisiana was much more peaceful than the drive down. You know why? Because I was OCD about it, and that proves me right - just throwing stuff in a car and taking off does NOT work. No, I cleaned out and vacuumed the truck while at my dad's, organized all the luggage (that's for my mental health), then I made little boxes of toys, books, colors, paper, snacks, and drinks for the kids, cued a movie up in the DVD player for the very end of the trip, then on our way out town - everyone went potty, I gassed up, got a big Sonic tea for me, put on some happy music, and we were off!
And it was GREAT! Other than getting stuck behind a stopped train in the middle of a little town for half an hour, it was smooth sailing. We stopped at Burges after we got around the train for a mid-trip treat - yum!!
And we pulled into home with big smiles on our face. Daddy had dinner ready - Sophia guilted him into making whatever she wanted, which was spaghetti and macaroni and cheese! And he had presents for everyone - a raspberry bush for me (I've been wanting one), princesses for the girls, and a bowling ball set for Henry to knock down.
The rest of the week kind of kicked me in the behind, but it's over now and I'm going to bed... at 9 pm!
P.S.
I know, Henry has a pink floral car seat. It was Sophia's old one and he doesn't care... but I'll get him a new cover soon.

Vera, it is a tradition that we stop in Lewisville for Burges. Wish we had had more time to chat this morning.
