Family Fun

While my head is still spinning with the madness that is taking your kids out for ice cream, I thought I should write quickly about it. Except that my head is still spinning from taking my kids out for ice cream. Was it the kids fighting for their bite of one of my onion rings that A took the first bite of and couldn't bite through but kept trying and ended up drooling all over the table? Was it A and M simeltaneously bugging D for a taste of his GINORMANTIC brownie lava chocolate death trap thingy the second it got put down? Was it Z making sound effects as he constructed his "build your own lava" sundae? Or could it have been M cracking up over something and dribbling blue spittle out of a very blue mouth from all the M & M's (that absolutely do melt in your mouth)? Hmmmm, maybe the dripping-with-happiness waitress that got irritated when we asked for our water did it? Perhaps the kids ALL practically lunging for the onion basket when I said I was done--after they all had eaten their ice creams? Maybe Zachary dancing a happy hop-skip out of the bathroom with his shirt tucked into his boxers that were sticking out (and not caring one bit) sent me into the spins.....

By now you should have a mental image of me doing the brbrbrbr thing with my finger on my mouth, that's about where I landed; but crazy is perfect, and my kids couldn't possibly get any perfecter. As much as I shushed them and "stopit"ed them, I loved and enjoyed every second of our rare couple of hours all together. We are loud and fun, with a generous share of nuts on top. I am crazy and lovin' it.  ;-)
