little men
Last night I had an at-home date with my two little misters. Marshall took Caroline out for a daddy and daughter date and the boys and I had the house to ourselves. We cranked up the hip hop music that the mister hates. We practice our sweet ninja moves. We ate Bagel Bites and blueberries and peanut butter crackers and M&Ms for dinner. We made chocolate chip cookies that look and taste strange (I blame the help). We played Mario Kart on the Wii…after we found the controllers and the game and batteries and remembered which buttons had to be pressed on which remote to make the game visible. We played three rounds of Mario Kart which lasted approximately 17 hours. None of us are good drivers or have any hand-eye coordination to speak of. (Judy Kirk: please read as “…of which to speak.”) We crashed more than we drove and never made it past 12th place. We screamed at the TV like a bunch of crazies. We then polished the night off with a little “Americas Funniest Home Videos.” Now it is just not the same without former host Bob Saget but it is guaranteed laughs for two year old and six year old boys.
It was a great night. Anderson told me at least four times that it was the best date ever. I am glad he thinks so because I will be his ONLY date until he graduates from college. You think I am joking…
