Funnies from the Kiddos

Driving in the car on the way to our end of school celebration dinner at Old Country Buffet on Thursday night Maddie was funny and not so funny. We congratulated Ben on being such a big kid and finishing Kindergarten. We talked about how old he was, which made Maddie really mad. She yelled about it not being fair and why Ben got to be the oldest in the family. We told her that Ben was in my tummy, then he had to come out to make room for Maddie, then she had to come out to make room for Jacob in there. Still mad about the situaiton, she yelled, "But I wanted to be FIRST out of your tummy!" with a terribly sour face. Following up on that whole getting out of my tummy to make room thing, she tells me, "It looks like you have a baby in your tummy again mom." Thanks. Anthony, Becca and Lucinda came to dinner with us. Brian had grand plans to make a slushie float for his dessert. He takes Icee stuff, ice cream and soda and mixes it together for what he deems to be the perfect treat. He got the ingredients and returned to the table to create. The ice cream in his bowl came from the soft serve machine and he had pulled the bowl down to make a tall column of ice cream. Anthony's eyes sparkled when he saw it and he proclaimed, "Mr. Brian has the Washington Monument for ice cream!!"
