Kinda Brilliant... but kinda NOT

so I took the kids to gymnastics 

and then had two errands I HAD to get done. 

gymnastics starts at 11am and gets done around noon.

then I had to go to a friends house that was a good 20 minutes away.

then I had to go to the beauty supply that was a good 20 minutes in another direction. 

and then I had to drive 15 minutes to get home 

so I could feed the kids lunch before Charlie goes down for a nap.

and if Charlie falls asleep in the car...

... well, then it'll be a BIG problem for nap time.

Charlie did great until we left my friend's house. 

he was hungry - and started throwing a fit. 

so what is a Mom to do?

well ... I saw these:

and these

(as they were still in the car - unopened - from our park trip)

I figured that at the next 'red light' I could reach back and give him some.

but as luck would have it - I wasn't hitting red lights. 

Charlie started crying and screaming even louder

and of course Claire starts chiming in with how she wants 

something to eat too ... 

so I did the only logical thing I could think of. 

I started throwing food at them. 

I'm not even kidding. I'm 5'4" and my wing span seems a bit stunted

so it's super hard for me to reach behind me and reach Claire's hands.

same goes for trying to reach Charlie. 

so handfuls of snacks flew behind me 

as I hoped the majority of them were landing on the kids ...

... or at least close enough for them to eat. 

so over-all I accomplished my goal.

Charlie stayed awake, the crying stopped, and they got some snacks. 

... but now I have to clean the car ...
