Time until we hit-the-road:
For Mark & me: 24 hours, give or take
For the kids: 24 years, give or take
Depending on how you read that, for the kids, I could say 18 years, give or take.
Yesterday, Aapo kept coming in the kitchen, sitting by the door and asking if we were leaving yet. (Waiting....and waiting.) I started thinking - next time we go to Grandma & Papa's house it might be a surprise.......for my kids. LOL

Might not be a bad idea to keep it from them until you are ready to walk out the door!
I know. I start to feel sorry for all of us - them because they don't understand and me because it drives me crazy. :) LOL
Come on anticipation is half of the fun. Just tell them 2 days before instead of 2 weeks. They have no concept of time yet anyway! Thank goodness!
Yes. Thank goodness, is right - because "Two more minutes" is a much overused expression in our house. And I'm keeping it that way because it works every time.
2 more minutes and you have to go to bed = 2 minutes.
2 more minutes and we'll be there = 30 minutes, or in some cases, an hour and a half.
2 more minutes and it's Abo's turn to play with that toy = 15 minutes.
(You get the picture).
