Crafts! (Three new posts)

I love pinterest! We are gearing up for a 10 hour road trip to Washington to see Grandma and Grandpa Lloyd. I am getting a little nervous to have a two year old and two 4 month olds in the car for that long. It is going to be interesting. But I found some good ideas on pinterest to help with Kaidy at lest. Here is one of them. You hot glue magnets to the bottom of puff balls or what ever you want and they can play with them on a cookie sheet in the car. All of my cookie sheets must be super cheap, because the magnets wouldn't stick to them. But they stick great to this cupcake tin. She loves it. She has been playing with it for an hour this morning.
Another thing that we are going to do is string beads onto a shoe lace. She has tried to put them on other types of string before but it was always to hard for her and would fray. But shoe laces are awesome. She loved doing that last night!
Do you have any other good ideas for long car rides? HELP HELP HELP! Thanks!

Good luck!!! Sam loves watching movies on the laptop. We have a plug so the car charges the laptop. I also saw some things with felt (which is almost like magnets) and you could use those in church afterward. It'll be exciting! Are you gonna stop halfway or drive during the night?

2Good Luck!! My boys did great on our big trip to Disneyland. We did 17 hours one way with the three of them, and It really went great!! The babies were about 5 months, and still slept alot of the way. Payton did great! A few things that helped were DVD player, our IPAD, and books and toys for him. The other thing was having "rewards." We bought some little toys or books or stickers for him, and I wrapped them all. Every so often when we stopped, if he was well behaved, he got to pick a "Prize." If he cried, or fussed he didn't get a prize the next stop. He got prizes all but one stop because he was so good! Good luck! Have fun!!

Tylenol for a sweet nap! :0) Good Luck! Sometimes kids surprise us and do really well, other times, not so much!
