Another girls day, but with an ice cream truck!

Daddy was out and about with his friends, so it was another girls day for us. We had a good time! We met the Ficenec's at a local splash park this morning and went out to lunch.

Then we returned home for some quiet time. Though everyone was tired, no one got any rest. I gave up the battle and we took Fonzie for a walk. Sofie wasn't up for riding her bike like Sam and she promptly fell asleep in the stroller. We were just getting back when we noticed the ice cream truck. I was very proud that Samantha asked politely and was happy to oblige. We got Sofie a Bomb Pop for when she woke up and spent the next hour calling her "Bluey" since her face and hands were stained blue.

I was excited myself since I have no recollection of every getting anything from an ice cream truck. In other words, this was another instance of me getting to experience being a kid by having kids. No, I don't live vicariously through them, but every once in a while it's fun to have share their innocent attitude about life. That is why I look at life as an adventure.

A couple of conversational highlights from today...

Mom: "Wash your hands now please!"

Sam: "But Mom, I just have to pet Fonzie because he's so cute!"

Mom: "Are you done with your ice cream Bluey?"

Sofie: "I'm blue and sticky."
