Yeah, I Can Be Flexible! It's True!
The past few days have been quite
friend-heavy for us: we’ve had a dozen kids in the house for
face painting; an afternoon with cousins; sleepovers; a morning
helping church friends; an afternoon double play date; and ballet
class. By dinner time yesterday, the girls were still forging
vainly forward, but getting that glazed look in their eyes.
I called an audible.
We had dinner while watching a movie.
Yes, I said MOVIE! In the middle of the week!
Within minutes the girls were happily imitating stalks of asparagus and vegging out. The chomped absentmindedly through their pulled pork quesadillas, strawberries, and carrots, and barely lifted their eyes from the screen to ask for more strawberries.
See? I’m cool! I’m spontaneous!
