Note to self: Never, ever let the boys fall asleep in the car again

Oh, Divinity of Naptimes and Afternoon Snoozefests, what is the secret to getting Grumpy McFightsSleep and Willful McInsistsHe'sNotSleepy to catching a little post-noon shut eye?

I let the boys fall asleep on the way home from running errands. They slept for 10 minutes in the car, tops. And now it seems they both think they slept for about two hours. One is currently hollering in his crib, and the other keeps escaping from his room to try to watch TV. I'm one more escape away from telling him I'll throw the TV in the pool if he does it again ...

I need a mantra. Suggestions?

(On the plus side, Wilder starts Yoga For Tots tomorrow. They stretch and roar like lions and stuff like that. We've been practicing our roars. In a few weeks, he starts Sports For Tots. Thank goodness for cheap rec center programs.)
