After a trip up to my mother's house in Montana by myself with the two kids, I decided to write a short note to all you other mother's out there to let you know the two things one can not live without on such a car trip:
1. For the 5 year old: A DVD player. It only takes two full length Disney/pixar movies to get from my house to my mother's house. He doesn't talk the entire time they are playing and I got very few 'are we there yet'. He is entertained and he is not entertaining himself by tormenting his sister or me while we are in the car. I love DVD Players!
2. For the 2 year old: Batman (or Scooby) fruit snacks. They are the cure-all for every woe when traveling. 'My foot hurts!' a fruit snack cures a foot ache. 'I want out of the car!' a fruit snack cures the need to get out of the car. 'I'm tired!' a fruit snack (and lovie) cures the need to cry about being tired. I LOVE FRUIT SNACKS...AND SO WILL YOU! (though I am still not sure if half a box of fruit snacks in each direction is really all that good for the kiddo...but for me it is wonderful...so who cares!?!)

I might need to add a few things to this list after our 3100 mile trek to AZ.
