driving with the babies

now, as much as i love going to sea world (going anywhere, for that matter) with my kiddos, driving any kind of distance with them provides all kinds of challenges. hopefully when they arise, i'm not too tired to laugh at them. take, for instance, yesterday, when
while silver was just starting to fuss and squirm (she doesn't like the car much)
sunny yelled, "i have to poop! i have to poop now! now! now! now!" (he had some pretty loose stools; it probably did feel very urgent)
and sailor spilled her entire vanilla milkshake all over herself.
i am not kidding.
the whole thing.
i am training myself to smile even when i don't at all feel like it. so as i cleaned up my sopping, sticky daughter, used an entire roll of paper towels on her carseat, and braced myself while jon wove in and out of traffic trying to find somewhere with a bathroom, i
took a deep breath, and smiled.
it almost worked. :)
