On a Jet Plane

Earlier this week I decided it would be a great idea to fly to Atlanta to visit my family for Easter weekend. Bobby was working and it would be a good time to see everyone and spend the holiday with them. However, I had to book 3 tickets for myself, Jake, and Will. Trey was sitting in my lap. I knew it was going to be an interesting adventure.

We were running late heading to the airport which was stressful in itself. I knew I could not rush three kids ages 4 and under to check-in, through security, and to the gate.

We got to the airport on time and through security. This was Trey's first airplane ride!! I was a little nervous about how the kids would act flying on a airplane and the hustle bustle of an airport. They were really unsure therefore they stayed very close by my side. We rode in the business class section and got to board the plane first. The kids were served drinks and snacks while all the others were boarding the back of the plane.

"this is awesome, I wuv flying on airplanes" says Jake.

However, then as the plane is taxing the runway about to take off Trey starts screaming at the top of his lungs. I just wanted to crawl under my seat. I had to pour water, pour rice cereal, and formula all in the bottle with one hand while I have a screaming infant in the other. I started shaking the bottle to mix everything up and he was getting louder. He knew what I was doing. Finally, I layed him down with his blankie and gave him his bottle. He was snoring before we took off in the air. THANK YOU FROM ABOVE!!!!!

Jake and Will continued snaking and I got out their DVD player. They watched part of a movie and trey slept most of the flight. He woke up as we were landing. It was so nice and smooth of a flight considering I had all three kids with me and no help!! They are such great kids I am so proud!! I could not have asked for a better day!!

We have a busy weekend planned. We are eating pizza, going to the zoo, church, Easter lunch, dinner with friends, and anything else that may come our way.

I am so glad to be with my family and especially to have some help for the weekend.
