Traveling with TWO

on
Hey,
I am so pumped! Next weekend I am flying to mom's with the girls- alone. Yikes!! K & I have done it numerous times but I am braving the big skies alone. That is where you come in...... How can I entertain the girls during the flight? LK will be in my lap and E beside us. That is the part I am really scared about. LK is a very, very busy 17 month old and I am just not sure I can think of enough tricks to occupy her seated for a little over an hour. Thoughts?? I have already broken down & bought leashes (something I said I'd NEVER do as a mom) for them for navigating the airport.


Also, I love to do crafts and activities with Em! However, I am not very creative in coming up with ideas. Check out this blog I just found: ScrumdillyDo


Perfect for moms like me that are lacking on the creative side:)

i say go to a few dollar stores and make them up a little backpack that you can fill up with things they have never seen before (and only let them play with them on the plane, not while at your mom's.) lift the flap books, there is a little craft kit at walmart that has foam beads, plastic string and a large plastic "needle". it makes a necklace. i put that stuff in a ziplock bag and take it with me to the doc's office to occupy them all the time.

I kept Annabelle busy at the doctor's office for a long time with mini aquadoodle pages. They are little coloring pages that come with a marker that you fill with water. Easy coloring fun and no mess! And you can re-use the pages over and over. Good Luck!

William is always at his best with FOOD. I would take tons of snacks! What about a portable DVD player?
