I just got home from a two week vacation and I just can't wait to sleep with my husband. Get your mind out of the gutter. What I mean is I've been sleeping with a twitchy kid in my bed for fourteen days straight.
When we stay at a hotel, the kids hate sharing beds with each other. They say, "It's gross." They also seem to 'accidentally' elbow each other in the jaw, so we don't mind separating them.
Still, what that usally means for me are nights filled with errant kicks and blanket tug-of-wars. It has turned me into one tired pup, which is why there won't be much writing in this post.
Instead, I've decided to share some of the unecessary junk we crammed into our suitcases. No trip is complete without a nail-biting scene at the airline counter where you worry whether or not your suitcase is too heavy.
So here I go. Below is a list of the ridiculous stuff we bought. May it shock and awe you.

One of my sons found a cute button , too. Unfortunately, we had to take it away from him because he poked his brother with the pin in the back. And, no, the irony is not lost on me.
A cute wristlet I found...
You can take the girl out of Iowa, but you can't take Iowa out of the girl.
My absolute favorite find: Action Figure Jesus!
I have to say, he has already come in handy. Just look what he did as soon as we got home!
Though we could have just eaten these instead...
That's right -- "All Natural!"
We got a few t-shirts, as well. This has to be my favorite:
In case you can't read this it says, "Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation."
And, finally, let me share this goofy little thing we found in the Microsoft gift shop. Just squeeze the cow's belly and the foam ball shoots out of its mouth. How's that for awesome? If only I could find a way to demonstrate. Hmmm....
Oh, no. Not Action Figure Jesus?! That would be sacrilege!
WAIT. I don't believe it. Is this a miracle I see before my eyes?!
...I think I hear angels singing in the background....
Holy deflection! It IS a miracle! That Action Figure Jesus is one tough dude!
Okay, that was too cool. I think I'll going to play with Jesus a little more.
Until next time,
