This past Friday, my brother, sister-in-law, and niece came for dinner. Afterwards, the adults conversed over a game of cards while the kids ran off to play elsewhere. Amberly and Chloe played Polly Pockets in the bathroom for a long time then decided they wanted to dress up. During this, Brantley was getting restless, so I put him to bed. After the card game, there were hugs all around as brother and sister-in-law left. I set to getting the kids dressed and ready for bed. Chloe and Amberly both asked for popcorn as they settled in to watch a movie. I told them it was too late, but that we could have popcorn for breakfast. Shelby said, "Are you serious?!" I said, "Sure, why not? It's okay to silly every now and then."
The next morning around 5:30, Brantley wakes up whining because he couldn't find his pacifier. So, I sleep walk to his bedroom, feel around in the crib, find the pacifier, and take him to my bed to go back to sleep. After what seemed like minutes of sleep, I could hear the three musketeers playing in the bedroom. All of a sudden, I here a slight crash and Chloe starts to cry. The next thing I heard was Amberly saying, "You can't get mad at me! It was an accident. You can't blame somebody every time something happens!" And then a little while later this exchange:
Amberly: "We can't always do what you want. It's our house and our chair!"
Chloe: "But, you invited me over to visit!"
Ahh, the joys of being the only girl in each respective household. I think they both learned a lesson. In what, I'm not sure, but they never said anything about it and were playing the computer together minutes later.
I finally decided to get out of bed and fulfill my promise of breakfast. Yes, we actually had popcorn for breakfast. Sprinkled with marshmallows and caramel seasoning, of course. And don't forget the hot chocolate to wash it all down.
So, on Saturdays, smile, be silly, and don't forget the popcorn!
