Time out in the road....

We were driving back from a fantastic/amazing epic Durango thanksgiving... And my kids just about went all holly Holmes on each other!!!
They yelled about someone singing too loud, touching someone else's belongings, and in general just teasing and screaming and trying to hit and kick each other from the back seats if the car.  So in order to calm them down jason and I pulled over and had them get out and do jumping jacks until we were calmed down. Finally they just started laughing at us....so we had each finish 50 full correct jumping jacks before they could get in the car. Cole finished first, followed by emma....then laci was determined to get out of the whole thing by crying and carrying on. She finally finished after 10 more min. Then processed to get in the car and grump around I tried to talk to her but she kick the back of Jasons seat... That earned her 20 more jumping jacks. Jason quickly got her out of the car....and we waited 15 more min for her to stop stomping around before she asked calmly if she could trade for 20 push ups. Sure...(what ever will get you to wear your body out. ).  So she calmed her self down and did 20 great push ups. She got back in the car and was mellow. Longest road time out so far in our lives!!!!😬😬😂😂😂 . Now we are driving a long and peace and relaxed kids are in the back🎉🎉🎉 ... I did tell them if another mma breaks out....we will pull over and 100 jumping jacks or pushups will be required. So will see how long this peace lasts!!😂😂😂😂
