sander family: GO JACKS!

URGH, Illini...I'm all confused now. Just kidding, my heart still lies in Illinois but I did take a trip to South Dakota over Labor Day Weekend to visit the Anderson Family. I did awesome the whole trip up. Mommy and daddy were so proud of me, 10.5 hours of riding in my car seat.

I went to Kelly's parents house that night to play with Ethan and Cocoa. On Sunday, I went shopping and got a bunch of new clothes for the fall/winter. Then I went painting. I'm so good. Well actually, Kelly is the good painter and she made me an awesome wall hanging.

On Monday we took the long trip back home. I did so well....until the last 4 hours. We stopped in Kansas City and I would have sworn we were home already because it had been so long. BUT, we weren't and "they" put me back in the car sear. How dare them!? I just wanted to crawl and stretch, but no, we had 4 MORE HOURS! I was pretty cranky, but I managed to take a nap for a couple hours and before I knew it, we were home sweet home.
