One of the special things we did for the 3 days of the driving was buying snacks from Winco’s bulk bins. We tried to pick things like checks snack mix or crunchy, salty mixes but we also pulled a few sweet things into the treat box. Those of you who have known me for a long time know that I LOVE sweets, if they are around my self control goes out the window. Consequently, as an adult, I have chosen to keep most candy and cookies and the like, out of my house. So here I am, stuck in a car for 3 ½ days with a box full of M&M’s, Thin Mint cookies, honey roasted peanuts, Koolaid drinks, Peach Tea Snapple, etc. Unfortunately, although we have apples and Odwalla drinks, checks mix and sesame snack my brain (like a 4 year old) is singing, “candy, cookies, candy, cookies, lalala lalala.” Noak is a great eater but when it comes to fun snacks that he usually does not get, well his self control is as good as mine. =) That means I get to be his self control. So he finally finished his lunch and we let him sample a few of our snacks. And then it hit me….We are STUCK in a car for about 10 more hours and I just gave him yogurt pretzels, a couple of thin mint cookies, some candy peanuts, and a koolaid drink. What have I done???!!!! This is going to be a looooooong trip. You can’t beat being with family though. Definitely no complaints.
