Put this on your list of DON'T DO...

NEVER take your almost two year old baby boy and 4 month old baby girl on a trip BY YOURSELF, on a plane, when you have to wake up at 6, get on a plane by 8, fly to Chicago, have a 2 hour lay over then take a 2 hour plane to New York, then a 2 hour drive to your destination...

Because if you did that your kids may scream the entire time (something they seemed to have bottled up and have reserved just for the inopportune time on the airplane) and a flight attendant may actually come and tell you to "get control of your kids"... Okay, well she may not say it like that because she had good flight attendant training, but you would know what she meant...

Well, we made it... Aiden, Arwen and I are with the fam...
