Crazy Saturday

Saturday was a packed day...we left at 9:30 am and did not come home until 5:30 pm. We went to the UCC to give a talk at the Marriage Prep Weekend. I was proud when our kids behaved decently for two other couples who babysat while we gave our talk.
From there we took the boys to eat pizza at Gatti's. We were sitting in the cartoon room, and it was on cartoon network...some carton I do not know was playing. However Sammy made a comment..."mommy this is very interesting." I asked what he meant and he said the cartoon was interesting. To me that was a very grown up comment. My four year old is more attentive than I thought, and apparently nothing gets past him.
We then went to Pump it UP for a birthday party...everyone had a blast. Carlos enjoyed the slides once again, and ate all the black batman frosting from his piece of cake. Did you know that black frosting will turn your stool a neon green...if you are wondering how I know that let's just say that I had proof in a Pamper. Emma did some light bouncing on the outer step with mommy. John David and Sammy had fun by themselves and with daddy. Apparently JP caught Sammy hitting a boy that was trying to push him out of the way. SO JP told him he was proud that he stood up for himself...I don't know if I agree with that but oh well. John David had so much fun, despite bringing the party to end...that he says that is where he wants his party next time. I'm sure you are wondering how he ended the party...well let's just say he did not keep his juice down. If you think the day is over...not yet.
We went to get the boys haircuts. They all look so handsome and grown up with their cuts. Carlos' hair is shorter so JP is upset that it is not as curly.
Our final stop was dinner...Dairy Queen. They boys saw a poster ad for the blizzard and John David requested Oreo ice cream for dessert, and Sammy wanted M&M. So JP has come to the realization that our boys are getting a more expesive taste for dessert. Before a plain cone did the trick...I doubt that they will go back to those days. Only a sign of what is to come.
