How not to plan for Fall Break...

1 Month-ish Before Fall Break

Me:  "I want to do something fun for Fall Break."
Jed:  "Like What?"
Me:  "I don't know something."
Jed:  "I think we'll still be cutting beans."


3 days Before Fall Break

Jed:  "I think we're going to finish the beans, and it's supposed to rain."


2 days Before Fall Break

Jed:  "I have a GREAT idea.  We're going to take a train to Albuquerque, New Mexico!  It's super cheap!  I think it's 14 hours to get there."
Me:  awkward silence.... "That would be so fun, but do you think 14 hours is kind of a long time with a newborn and 2 little girls?  What if someone is sick on the train?" 
Jed:  "The trains are pretty empty."
Me:  "Ok, well we could do it in a couple days and get off to do fun things at different stops."
Jed:  "You don't have long enough at the stops to get off.  You have to stay on the train."
Me:  "Ummmmm, well let's keep thinking." 
Jed:  "Yeah, I'm not sure we're going to get done."


1 day Before Fall Break

Jed:  "How about driving to Denver, Colorado?"
Me:  "Really?!  Are you going to get done and be able to go?"
Jed:  "Yep, let's plan on that."
Me Yelling:  "GIRLS we are going to CO!  Let's go to the library!" 


FALL BREAK

9:30  Pulling out of the drive headed to Denver
10:30  Jed and I:  "Girls we're going to Colorado Springs!!" 
It did kind of confuse the girls since I had printed them maps and highlighted Denver! :)
Yes, my husband's a farmer
AND THAT'S HOW WE ROLL!
Planning is overrated, and I refuse to get my heartbroken if it doesn't rain. :)
