Today the boys and I headed south to meet my Mom in a city halfway between us.
Good tunes are essential for a good road trip. We started out with a little Feist, then a bit of Sarah, and on the way home? Mana, of course. Luckily, my kids like my music.
First stop? An emergency pit stop at the po-dunkville mercantile because I forgot to go before we left home and drank a Diet Dr. Pepper in the first 15 minutes on the road.
And a landmark sighting for all of you Napoleon Dynamite fans - the Cuttin Curral really does exist! We have been fans for a while (Little P can do the Napoleon dance), but now that we live in Napoleon's neck of the woods, we find it more entertaining than ever .
After a bit of shopping and lunch, we had to get ice cream. As you can see, the boys loved it!
It was a good day!And the reason for our little jaunt, besides some quality time with Grandma? Could the motivation for this trip really be that innocent and wholesome? OK, I admit it - there is fabric involved! I needed some white cotton velveteen for a little Christmas project I'm working on and I couldn't find it anywhere in our town or online. So, I did what any girl with a fabric loving mama that lives in a bigger city would do - I called her up and asked her to find some for me. She came through right away. Thanks Mom! For the fabric and for such a fun day!

That ice-cream place looked soo like Reed's dairy in I.F. where we went for ice-cream on vacation this summer! That's good ice-cream but we have better in Texas ;)
One of Jack's "things" right now is that he asks me where we are going in the car. "So, mom, where are we going?" It cracks me up.
They look so sweet sleeping in the back seat.
I just love the last picture of the kids sleeping! They loved wiped-out from the day!
