Jon and Kate Plus Eight

My biggest problem with that road trip is that they left home around 4pm. Who does that? You start road trips, especially with kids, at the crack of dawn. Load the car the night before and strap the kids in their seats while their still half asleep in the morning.

My family always waited until the afternoon to leave for trips. 1) Daddy always wanted to get in a half day's work before leaving, 2) Momma could spend most of the day getting everything ready to go and packed, and 3) I would end up falling asleep soon after leaving and be out for the night...

Now that I am an adult, our family leaves in the afternoon. I drive all night b/c I am an insomniac. Tank and Max sleep. Then, in the morning, Tank drives and Max plays games/watches tv while I sleep. It works out really well for us.

We always left early to avoid rush hour traffic, espc. during holiday weekends. We would usually get to breakfast on the other side of NYC around 8. It was great!

I much prefer driving through the night - kids are asleep, and roads are less crowded. Only works if you are a night owl, I guess.

I LOVE this show, but sometimes I wonder-Jon is like half white, but the kids look so asian (at least to me) and I wonder if Kate ever feels left out looks wise-I'm sure she'll show up in them more prominently in the future, but they look even more asian than their dad sometimes! I date interracially and it makes me wonder if my kids will even look like me if I married that way!

They are very cute and very real and I just love Kate's parenting style and Jon's laid back attitude. Those kids are the most adorable and well-brought up.

She once commented that she'd like at least ONE to look like her. Genetic roulette - my brother is the spitting image of my grandfather.
