Like shaking a can of Coke.

So last night we scrambled to get dinner on early since we thought Will was going to have his Very! First! T-Ball! Practice!  Except I'm not allowed to call it T-Ball, it's BASEBALL, Mommy, T-Ball is for babies.  Disregard the T-Ball stand in front of the catcher's mound, woman, it does not apply here.  Right.

Anyway, T-Ball got canceled due to the spitting on/off rain we were getting, as if a little wet grass and mud would really make it a miserable affair, but whatever.  This meant, since we had already finished dinner, that we had a full two hours until bedtime.  So daddy took the kids outside to play basketball on the neighbors driveway, which was a little strange for all our neighbors because it happens to be the house we used to live in  and should have just rented out instead of selling when we moved to California four years ago, but I digress.  So they played basketball on our old driveway for a while, then a nice little rainstorm came down and everyone scampered, wet, back into my kitchen.  Which I had just cleaned.

This is when my husband decided ice cream would be a good idea.  It was now 20 minutes to bedtime.
And what do you do with two little boys who've just eaten a bowl of ice cream right before bedtime?  Why, yes, of course, you crank up the Beastie Boys and play air Guitar Hero and do some hip hop breakdancing, and close your eyes and cross your fingers that nobody goes through the glass top coffee table.  Yes, that's exactly what I would do.

Hi! i came via Dad Gone mad's links of Love and I am glad I did. For whatever reason we had 3 hours to kill before bed last night with two 3 yr old boys. Also in the rain. Lots of indoor baseball and hide and seek and books. No ice cream though, sigh.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That looks like Tuesday at our house. Well, no boys in our house, but my daugher can air Guitar Hero with the best of them.

Found you through the DGM List. I'm sure I'll be back!
