A la mode

Well, here I am again "catching up" on blogging.  I have been really busy lately.  So the time that I do have when I could be blogging, I'm being lazy or reading something.  So, I don't have too much to say.  

Of course my kids are always doing something funny so I guess I could write about that.  Here's something . . . last night we had a pastor from our church over.  I didn't give my kids the whole "you better be on your best behavior or else" speech.  It wouldn't have done any good any, plus kids will be kids no matter what.  Well, apparently hubby did.  Wasted breath - all I can say. However, it go really well!  We had fun, enjoyed our company and the girls were pretty good. We had a few moments.  A2 talked all evening.  After every bite she took, she said something. You can imagine that was lovely.  Plus she sat right beside the pastor.  I was going to sit beside her but she really wanted him to sit beside her.  We warned him that drinks are most likely to spontaneously tip over.  In your lap or plate.  He was up to the challenge and we made it through the entire night with out a spill.  Praise the Lord. 

There was one incident later in the evening that shocked us.  Suprise, suprise.  After we had our dessert and the girls went to brush their teeth, I told them to go to their rooms and put their jammies on.  That's really no biggie.  All was going well, teeth were brushed and the girls were in their rooms, when A2 popped out from the hallway stark naked.  Yep.  Not a stich of clothing on her 3 year old body.  As soon as I saw her - mommy radar was on so I saw her before anyone else, I jumped up and screched "What are you doing?".  "I need a pull up" she replied in a sweet little voice.  This was completely my fault.  We had the pull ups stashed in a canvas bin under an end table in the living room.  I failed to get one out and take it to her room to avoid such incident.  So, she was going to get one.  Oh well.  Guess that really shouldn't have been a suprise.  Actually earlir that day I said a little prayer to myself that my children would keep their clothes on in front of our company.  Well, it wasn't really a prayer, more like a fleeting thought.  I guess that's God's humor!

Our evening ended well and the kids asked if he was going to come to dinner every night.  Oh, I almost forgot.  A1 said something funny, too.  I got up to serve the brownies (from a mix) and I asked if anyone wanted their brownie a la mode.  A1 got really excited and said "I do!  I do!"  I said "you don't even know what a la mode means do you?"  Very seriuosly she replied "Yes I do! It means a lot."  Ha, she wishes!
