A Cleaner Car...Almost

I was running ahead of schedule today (I know, I was surprised, too). The boys and I got to the bus stop this afternoon a little early, so I decided to tidy up the front seat of my van while we waited. The boys were playing happily in the back seat, so I was able to quickly straighten up all of the pockets and compartments were I've stuck papers that weren't important. When the girl's arrived, I opened the side door to let them in, and I realized why the boys had been so happily occupied. They had been snacking on a bag of cheese doodles I'd just bought them, and they apparently got bored, so they started throwing them around the backseat and even managed to get at least one cheese doodle into each grocery bag (and there were quite a few). When we got home, I had them clean all of the cheese doodles out, and it turns out, it's just as much fun to throw them out of the car and into the driveway, then stomp on them. Oh! To be a kid again!
