Road Trip and McDonalds

So we had a trip the other day where we headed to the East Coast of Florida to see our friends Jessica and KC (who Brendan is also working with). My job was to get packed, pick up Skyler from school, and meet Brendan at work by 3pm so we could beat the traffic. Well while I was packing I tripped over a stool in the closet and hurt my leg pretty bad ... fortunately I was able to contort myself so that the baby didn't get squashed on my way down. This of course set the trip back, causing us to get on the road right during 5 o'clock traffic.

As soon as we got on the interstate, Skyler saw the sign for McDonalds. He screamed from the back seat that he was "so very hungry and wanted a Happy Meal (which sounds more like Hackey Meal when he says it)." We told him that we needed to get out of the traffic and then we would stop. The brilliant child that he is came up with his next line ... "I need to go potty!" Which he commenced shouting over and over again. We told him we would get off at the next exit so he could go potty which brought on Skyler's next sentence, "I need to go potty and I need a Hackey Meal."

Of course when we get to McDonalds he can all of a sudden hold his urgent need to go potty until after he gets his Happy Meal. Oh to be played by our three year old! This little girl has no idea what she is in for with a brother like Skyler :)
