Sunday we had the drive from hell on the way home from Minneapolis. Okay, well, it could have been worse if we had had weather or sick kids, but the traffic sucked. Notice the taillights.
We did go for the nuclear option and let the kids watch a movie after their nap. We let them watch another one after dinner, because yes- we were still in the car after dinner. Here's how they looked when we would look back. Henry was in the Ponyo zone and Clara wanted more snacks.
Flash forward to today. Henry had grandparent day at school. I know his out-of-town grandparents will be jealous, but we promise to find some other special things for them as well. Bampa and Grandma Mary got the chance to come in and hang out. From what I hear there were special treats (Cookies! Halloween-shaped pretzels!) and games. There were also grandparents taking movies of each other with their iphones, which is so cute.
Here's a picture Grandma took of Henry by his recent addition to a "we can read" bulletin board.
Hooray for Grandparents!!
