Retail Therapy is Great for Panic

So, I went on a little shopping spree last weekend in an attempt to find enough "surprises" to keep the boys entertained on our travel to and from Aruba. Here's a quick run down:

• Dinosaur story book and plush dinosaur for each (this will be their suprise first thing in the morning to get them up and going, the dinos will be their travel "buddies" for the trip)
• Two card games (in cute mini-lunchboxes) for my 4 1/2 year old
• New Spiderman sippy cups
• Mini-movie projectors with wild animal slides
• Monkey hand puppet
• Disney's Little Einsteins "action" figures
• Four Crayola Color Wonder activity books (one for each child per trip)
• New Thomas the Tank Engine movie
• New Little Einsteins movie

Good news - DH is bringing two laptops (one is a back up) to watch the movies so no need to fork over the cash for a new portable DVD player! Between all of the new activities (as well as a few of their stand-by favorites that we'll bring as well) and plenty of snacks I'm feeling a little more confident that it won't be melt down city throughout the day.

I also picked up a cute cotton sundress, straw hat, flip flops and glamour sun glasses - both comfy AND trendy! I'm definitely getting more excited!
