Sometimes, we love to leave stuff to the last minute. It seems to run in the family. For instance, I started this magazine to comunicate with my extended family while on the bike trip in Europe. But I created it 1 day before the trip began! So, you get my point.

Well, my parents are the same. We are truely a crazy family. We had hardly been home a week since we had been on Cap Cod. Then, there was my brothers blow out birthday party and then there was a bunch of parties at our house. So it was litterally the night

before that we started packing up. It was crazy. My grandmother came over for diner and my parents were trying to operate a million different things at once. Finally, my mom and my grandmother went out to diner and my dad ordered pizza for the rest of us and then we watched a movie. My dad and my mom were up all night packing and we all lay together on beds stripped of sheets. We always rent out our house so there was no furniture except for one bed so we all slept together. All 5 of us. 2 girls and 3 boys!!!!!
