Driving Lessons

We took a last minute trip to Grandma and Grandpa's for Spring Break. Dr. C had too much work to do, so I drove the 7+ hours with three kids by myself.  That is always an adventure!  I learned a few lessons along the way:

• Putting a T-Man in charge of feeding Miss B her baby food while I was driving had mixed results-as in the food got mixed up all over Miss B's face and carseat.
• I can drive with one hand and reach all the way across the van or all the way behind my seat to hand snacks/books/marker caps to various children.  I think this should make me better at yoga.
• I can take all three children into McDonald's bathroom for a potty break/diaper change and be out in 3 min.
• Singing VeggieTales' "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" at the top of your lungs will keep you awake for a long, long time.
• NPR stories get more and more interesting the longer you drive.
• Snacks are ESSENTIAL.  (For me, not the kids.)
• Pulling into the driveway with everyone happy is a very large victory!

Happy Spring Break everyone!
