driving me crazy...

Being strapped into a car seat has never been on Marnie's list of "things that I love and that don't make me scream." In fact, we travel much less than we used to (as a means of preserving some of our sanity). She has good moments... but they almost always involve food. I used to say that when I had kids I would never feed them in the car. I thought it was unnecessary and a bad habit, and blah blah blah. Needless to say, I've changed my feelings on that. :)

Yes. I gave my 13 month old a Redvine (or two, or three, or four...) to keep her from screaming us all crazy.

After a long trip today, I treated Britt to a Frosty. {It was the least I could do after I made him try on 10 pairs of shoes at the shoe store.} I had to pull over and take this picture with my phone, because it was just so cute. I don't know what I'd do without Britt's in the backseat. He's my extra set of hands...He's the best big brother I know. :)

Oooo, Bri. I feel your pain. Mason is a bad traveler too. My others weren't but Mason hates it! I have to pack a weeks worth of treats to keep him quiet. Poor Makenna spends the whole trip feeding him =). Isn't it nice to have helpful older kids?? I'll pray that it passes soon for you!!

Such cute pictures! I love that Britt was sharing. What a sweet big brother! :) And...the whole food in the car dilemna? Yeah--I hate it too. But, we're in the car so often that I don't know what we'd do without it. Well...I've gotten better with no food around town--but, when you're traveling from state to state--it gets a little hard! :)
