Tom Tom

We made it to California. The little boys have managed to get a nap in either in their strollers or in the car but grandma hasn't had any naps yet. Yesterday, everytime we got in the car, Mark fell asleep. Today he fell asleep in the stroller and slept through our lunch. Molly took him out of the stroller and laid him on the seat of the booth where we ate and he still didn't wake up. We did give him some left over chicken nuggets when he woke up.

I got a couple of story CDs for the boys to listen to. The 1st day when they were starting to get restless, we put in Cinderella. Pretty soon they were both asleep. (Isaac and Mark have been riding in our car). So now whenever they get fussy or grandpa is tired of listening to them, he plays Cinderella. So far it puts at least one of them to sleep almost every time.

Isaac keeps saying I like you grandma and I like your car. It is so funny listening to Mark and Isaac interact. One quick story. Molly has taught Isaac instead of saying "What"? or "Huh"? to say, "Say it louder." Mark said a bunch of words. I couldn't figure out how they all connected together and what he was trying to say and neither could Isaac. So Isaac says, "Say it louder, Mark". You NEVER have to tell Mark to be louder, he is a pretty loud boy. So here Mark turns up his volume and says exactly the same words. We still didn't know what he was talking about but everyone within half a mile heard it.  

I bought a  Tom Tom to help us on our trip. Each night we program it for the next day's activities. We have made it to our destinations, but we have had a few interesting routes. Last night Lance and Molly programed in Fisherman's Wharf. We had another stop along the way and we were almost to the wharf and Tom Tom wanted to play games with us. The Fisherman's Wharf we wanted was not the one Tom Tom had in mind. We ended out in some industrial area near the bay. I'm not sure that there was even a wharf there. All I have to say is that it was not crowded there so I guess everyone else missed out on Fisherman's Wharf. It was kinda funny. And we got to drive by AT&T baseball field. It would have been cool to watch a game or at least see the field. We now check the map before we rely on Tommy.

Lance and Molly are watching Wicked now. All the other boys are sleeping. I'm not far behind them. We will be in Reno tomorrow and then we will be working hard to get L & M packed up.
