To prepare for our flight to St. Louis next week, we're putting together our game plan early:
Goal #1: Survive.
Goal #2: Remember to bring all three kids.
Goal #3: Try to make the flight as smooth as possible so the Roches aren't put on the FAA's "No Fly" list.
Goal #4: Figure out why we're doing this again?!
Our strategy so far consists of a two-pronged attack: sustenance and visual/audio distractions (Snacks and Movies). We plan on pumping them full of food and letting them watch whatever movies they want on the portable DVD player. But, knowing from experience how annoying these movies can be to adults, we thought we'd get Brody and Abilene head phones to minimize the disturbance to other passengers (although it might be easier to just get everyone else on board ear plugs).
So we had a test run the other night, setting the DVD player up and plopping the headphones on the kids. Surprise, surprise, it was a success. Both remained glued to the screen and didn't try to rip the sets off their head.
It's amazing how comforting and frightening it is to know your children can turn into zombies so readily...
