school’s out this week…YEAH BABY!
i’m SO ready for the school craziness to be done and the roadtrip craziness to begin. when i say SO ready, that’s mentally of course, and not ACTUALLY ready as in packed, house in order, to do list completed, etc.
oh no my dear peeps despite my best efforts to make lists and organize and be ahead of schedule, i can GUARANTEE you that i will be a crazy wild woman by the end of the week.
a crazy. wild. woman.
you can bet the bank on it.
i have been trying SO hard to think ahead {i have to be intentional about this because it’s so, so, so, so, SO not my nature to think ahead. like at all. ever. i’m a live-in-the-moment kind of a gal} trying to accumulate some roadtrip activities for the ride. the very LONG ride. a 20-ish hour trip makes activities mandatory. not optional. we’re driving through the night because that makes the most sense with 3 kids…cough*andacat*cough…and now you can officially put me on your *crazy people* list.
here’s what i’ve got for the circus :
- aluminum foil
- pipe cleaners
- dry erase boards/markers/books
- journals
- books
- audiobooks
- rubber band board/rubber bands
- lacing cards
- magnetic car track tray thingy’s
- sticker books
- glow sticks {for the night. i’m entirely too excited about these. #dork}
- lego boxes
- tape
- maps
and that should keep them busy for about 34 minutes {not to mention that it will be scattered all over the van where no one can reach anything, and i’ll remain unbuckled the remainder of the trip handing everyone something all. the. time}. snacks buys me another 12 minutes. so that leaves only 19 hours and 14 minutes to entertain them.
serious face.
so i need a little help, PLEASE.
send me your ideas friends! i know you’ve got them. your go-to car entertainment games/activities/etc. post a comment below. or tag me on instagram. or facebook. or twitter. or pinterest. or text me. email me. ANYTHING. don’t make me beg here people, i need best and brightest to entertain the circus!! muchas gracias my loves!

hortonhearsanews.blogspot.com - I divided the protocol into two main actions:
The first, at the area of detection, pressing one or more of the fret notes and lift up the strum.
It could also be because the guitar cases is all
about your attitude and determination to do so.
This may sound extremely obvious but there is a mobile app
that streams” MP ee3s” of previous bathroom performances.
I just believe that music is really the best way to learn the Guitar Cases.
Long layoffs from playing. It’s the story of Brad’s life with strings attached, and a relationship that I initiated.
stacey - thank you for these amazing ideas kenna!
Kenna - We found auto bingo cards at a store and all 3 of my kiddos loved them – super easy since they have pictures. Also, we have done clipboards with auto bingo, drawing sheets, random things we have printed off the internet and given one to each kiddo. Also, a plastic folder with a flap worked out great this last trip for all the little brochures/handouts the kids grabbed from the different places we visited. Another thing I had made for each of my kiddos when they were younger is an I spy bag game. Sew 2 square pieces of fleece together with a clear piece of tablecloth in between them. Leave one part open and fill it with beads of some type (I used doll filler) along with a bunch of random things – plastic bug, button, coins, race car, pony tail holder, etc. and make them a list of things that are hidden in each one. I attached it with a long ribbon so when the kiddos were younger and could not read I could read it for them and it was still attached to their bag. Hope at least one of these ideas helps – have fun!
