Off to Brazil

Corey is in Brazil. One moment, he's here wrapping computer equipment with bubble wrap, and the next moment he's gone and driving around up in South America. Pretty amazing, this world travel thing we've got going on here on earth right now. By the way, he had to fiercely guard that bubble wrap from the kids... they were like bugs to a light with how they were transfixed by it, like a magnet. Just this irresistible urge to pop.

So, we took Corey and Ethan to the airport yesterday, Ethan's going to miss the next two weeks of school. It made for a crazy and hectic windup for him Monday trying to get all his teachers signatures and finish tests and stuff. He had to stay after school and was late for band, but had to wait for Corey to pick him up, and Corey was finishing stuff and was a bit late, but the school was locking up, so poor Ethan was all alone waiting at the front of the school (I was already gone taking Joseph down to a recording in American Fork.... life is getting too busy...) So Ethan had a sad Monday, I said "Aren't you excited to leave all this hassle and stress behind! After an evening of packing and unsuccessfully trying to download a gps maps for Sao Paulo (only takes 7 hours...), we were off to the airport. Corey came prepared to the airport with a quick fix for the toddlers just in case they knew what was going on and might cry -
He made it out unscathed and with no tears from his princesses... In fact, give a kid a KitKat and they hardly look at you. Well, except to hold out their candy for you to unwrap. Ethan is going to be an only child for two weeks. He texted me from Atlanta that it stinks.
Total of 9 suitcases/boxes/bags. Will they make it? Will Movie Mouth succeed? Let's see if they can get over the curb without the smart cart tipping - that will be the sign for success or failure.
(they made it! go team go)
