Trekking to school | A Barbie Doll Story | RD #3

Dear diary,

Going to school is frequently CRAZY.  There’s 8 of us (Me, Brynn, Rachel, Ella, Emma, Mya, Vivi and mom driving) in the camper so it can get extremely LOUD. My other sisters, Jayla, Lea and Charlotte walk to school.  They’re old enough to go on their own. I don’t usually get jealous of my sisters, but in this case, I am.  You’ll see why.

Look at how nice we start out.

We’re all buckled in, our mom, Kaly, is calm and playing a movie for us.  Now, usually we do love watching movies. But for some reason, on the way to school, it just doesn’t happen.

Deep down, I really think she does believe it will keep us quiet, and then as soon as we turn the corner off our street- it happens.

The Meltdown

Emma and/or Ella start whining, so naturally we try to calm them down by singing or acting crazy to make them laugh. This makes it a little loud because we are competing with the movie volume. Then, Maya starts yelling at me to be quiet because she wants to watch the movie.  The babies are getting louder by the minute so I, Rowan, the wonderful sister that I am, get up and go get them.  Mom usually screams at me to keep them in their carseats but nobody can take the noise!

Me and Brynn get them out, Rachel pipes in about listening to mom, the movie is being turned up by Maya, Vivi is yelling at her to turn it down, Maya is screaming back, Ella and Emma are laughing (they got their way), I’m telling mom that everything is okay and mom is yelling about how unsafe this is and “Why is it like this everyday?”

end result

This is how we pull up to school. Everyone is out of their seats, there are some tears, frustration and also laughter. This happens almost everyday. The only good thing is that I am definitely awake when I get to school. I am not one of those kids that sits in class tired. Our car ride will wake up anyone!  I wonder if it’s like this for all families? BYE!

**We love our camper and Barbies and highly recommend them for all kids. We spend hours and hours playing. We’ve made it easy for you and listed a couple of our favorites.

NOTE: Mattel doesn’t make our camper anymore but they have great looking new ones!  We didn’t include the link because we only want to recommend things we have and we don’t have the new ones. These are affiliates, but don’t worry, it’s at no extra cost to you! We may or may not get a little something to help us keep the blog going.  Thank you for your support!
