Going Home :(

We had plans to stay for at least half of the day and enjoy Oceanside for as long as possible, but changed our plans and decided to head home sooner.  We woke up to a drizzle so our plans of going for a walk or going to the beach were out the window. 

Hunter was happy that morning until he found out that we were going home!  He started crying and saying he wanted to stay!  I asked him why he wanted to stay.  He said he didn't want to leave "this room."  Apparently he had fun staying at the condo.  He really enjoyed sharing a room with Jacob.  When we got home that night, he tried to sleep in Jacob's room with him and when I vetoed that plan, he cried for me to lay in his room with him.  I guess he didn't want to sleep alone!  Unfortunately he took a late nap in the car and woke up when we got home at 6:30.  He was wide awake while the rest of us were exhausted!  He finally stopped coming out of his room around 11!

The boys spent our last few hours there soaking up the cable TV.  We don't enjoy such luxuries at home and we only have PBS at our disposal!  Jacob was thrilled to be able to watch Ben 10 Alien on the Cartoon Network a few times.  It is his new favorite. So long Batman!  You have been replaced..or at least moved down from the #1 slot.

Our ride home started off slow with 3 bathroom stops for Jacob in the first hour we were on the road.  I let him have a cup of Hawaiian Punch that morning..obviously a mistake!  It was getting pretty ridiculous to hear him say he had to go potty AGAIN when we had just stopped 20 minutes ago for him.  Luckily the 2nd part of our trip was more productive. 

I was even sad about leaving.  It was a fast week.  I didn't want to leave the gorgeous weather and the ocean.  Luckily we came home to cooler temperatures too so it actually is starting to feel like fall here!  That helped..just a little.
