rocky mountain love

We made it to Boulder! I really feel like I am on vacation. We are living at the Residence Inn so every morning, I get the kids dressed and head over to the free breakfast buffet, then someone comes to clean (i don't even have a vacuum so i can't clean eve if I wanted), in between house hunting and seeing our new town we head to the pool and some nights we get appetizers for dinner at the "lounge." I love the free yummy food, the free rent and the free recreation. I seriously haven't spent a dime in 2 days.

The road trippin was actually fun. I loved seeing so many different states-through my window at least. I have loads of pictures but cannot find my cable to upload them just yet. The biggest hits for the kids were these:

This awesome giant sticker puzzle book (Target $11.95)

The slightly annoying but so entertaining recorder (dollar store version)

Bunny crackers in every variety ($2.99 most any grocery store)

Essential short cartoons to keep attention ($16 Best Buy)

I gambled and bought pricier items (instead of the dollar store stuff than usually gets tossed) to keep the kiddies busy and happy and I won. We mixed in some silly song singing, took breaks at rest stops and did family yoga and races, visited some extended family, took a half day break to visit the St. Louis zoo (free and awesome!...photos coming soon)and made the 2/3 cross country trip in 2.5 days!
