A Pictures is Worth...A Giggle!

On the trip home from San Angelo after Christmas, Zachary watched Wall-E. The movie got us from San Angelo to almost Cisco (about 2 hrs.) He then pulled out the movie he wanted to watch next (a Thomas one ) and wanted me to switch it out for him. About the same time Rylee woke up and was fussy. I asked Chad if we could stop for a break in Cisco and listening to our two children complain he was happy to oblige.

However when we got to I-20 and Cisco there wasn't a good place to stop so we decided to travel on to Eastland nine miles down the road. We usually stop there anyway, I just thought with antsy kids we could try Cisco -- now we know better.

So I explain to Z that we will stop in about 10 mins and I will change out his movie then. I try to comfort Rylee without seeing her since her seat is behind me. I talk in that annoying sing-song voice and call her name. In the mean time, Zachary keeps asking if I will switch his movie. UGH!

With about two miles to go, I reassure Zachary that we are about to stop and I will change the movie then. Rylee has settled -- either annoyed that we aren't paying attention to her or lulled to contentment by my sing-songing voice.

We exit at Eastland, pull into McDonalds, and I turn around and see this:



Notice the movie on his finger (so he doesn't get fingerprints on the DVD) ready to be changed. In the less than five minutes from my last assurance, he completely passed out.

I told Chad that we should go ahead and stop since I needed to feed Rylee anyway. I open the car door to get her out and she too has passed out in that brief five minutes!!

Crack me up these kids -- vacation -- especially Christmas vacation -- is exhausting!
