Who wants to eat?

My two youngest Houdinis and I enjoyed a morning at the library and lunch at McDonalds with two additions…Sammie and Shelton.  My cheeks hurt by the time I got home.  The entire morning, I kept a mental note of all funny things said and although I didn’t remember all of it, here are just a few things that made me cackle…and yes, I did cackle! 

Sammie:  Will they have snacks at the library again?  Gabe:  They always have snacks.  That’s why I like to go.  But, if you don’t sit quietly and listen to Miss Peggy and then do your craft, Mommy won’t let you have the snack.  Me:  When have I never let you have the snack at the library, Gabe?  Gabe: Mmmmmm.  Never, I guess.  But you don’t let me have seconds.  I thought it was because I never sit still.

Sammie: You have some neat places back here to hide things like cookies and snacks.  Gabe:  That would be a good idea, but I’d just rather eat them.

Shelton:  (singing his ABC's)…W X Y and Z…Now I’ve sang my ABC’s, next time won’t you take me to McDonald’s again!

Adri:  I like Shelton.  He’s a good eater and he likes catsup like me.  But can I sit by Gabe, because I know he won’t take my catsup.

Me:  Shelton, don’t eat your catsup with your fingers.  Use your French fries and nuggets to eat it.  Shelton:  They’re all gone.  I’ll use my apples. 

Gabe:  Can Sammie and Shelton come to my house?  I promise I won’t take my clothes off. 

Sammie: I think my Mommy hurt her back because she used her ice pack too much.  Me:  I don’t think one thing hurt her back.  I think it was just because your mom is a go-getter and doesn’t like to sit still.  Sammie:  She does like to go to Meijer. 

Me:  We had such a good time, guys.  Thank you for going to the library and lunch with us today.  Shelton:  You’re welcome, but do we have to go home now?  We could come to your house and eat lunch again.

I think this brood has a one track mind…FOOD FOOD FOOD!

All jokes aside, we had a great time this morning.  Thanks for sharing your kids with Kim and Jason!
