There and back in 23 hours

We just got back from a q.u.i.c.k. trip to Chicago. Quick for us is there and back with all.3.kids. in 23 hours!
I am exhausted. Physically -- yesterday I woke up at 5:15 with many things on my to-do list, we went to bed at midnight (all of us except Pancho who went to bed at 2 am!), we woke up before 7 (you know the adage, "late to bed, early to rise). Emotionally -- we were in the car for 5 hours straight on the way there and 1+4 hours on the way home with three small kids (who are not used to road tripping), need I say more?
The good news, however, is that we have our guests! My sister-in-law, Fanny and her husband, whom I had not met until 10 last night, are here with us in good ol' Weston. They will spend nearly 3 weeks with us and then we'll take them back. (Rest assured, we have a different plan for the trip back down there!)
On the way home today we stopped at Disney, err, I mean Chuck E. Cheese. (Katrina called it Disney numerous times!) Here are a few pictures from our time there. (Oh, and one reason this did not affect my emotional exhaustion is because we were the o.n.l.y. ones there!)
