Torture

I thought it would be a good idea to take the kids to the store to buy a toy for our 12 hour drive to Utah. I was hoping the new toys would interest them for at least a couple of hours during the drive. And it worked. There was just one flaw. I took them to pick out the toys on Saturday and we weren't leaving until Tuesday morning. They knew before hand that the toys were not to be opened until the drive but boy oh boy was it hard to keep those boxes closed for 3 days. They begged, pleaded and cried. They slept and ate next to the boxes. I did not relent. The boxes stayed closed but it was hard. And the cherry on top? They were so excited to finally open their toys that at 5am Tuesday morning they were bright eyed and ready to play and not a nap was had.
