Mom, I have a situation with the ice cream ...
The end of the day report is that the kids did GREAT. I told them to pack their headphones and cds, their coloring books and crayons, and they did. They sat quietly in the reception area of the office while we grown-ups did boring grown-up type stuff. I could not believe it. But I was so proud of Tucker especially. That was hard for him.
Because they were so good, I took them across the street to the restaurant I love to visit for lunch. They have fantastic food, gouda cheese soup, grilled haulloumi (sp?) salad, lamb kebabs ... it's fabulous. When I order hot tea, they bring otu this little wooden chest of teas and I choose like choosing a fine cigar ... not another burger joint. Tucker was sad that his lunch didn't come with a pickle, but the waiter brought him one anyway.
After we finished all our business, we headed over to the library. Now they have a fresh "Hank the Cowdog" to entertain them through the evening. And I have a few moments of quiet.
Tucker wanted a snack. That's cool. I really thought that he would be having popcorn. But then he came back ... "Mom, I'm having a situation with the ice cream." Oh? It seems that the Oatmeal Cookie Ice Cream (Ben and Jerry's) had been eaten and SOMEONE put the empty container back in the freezer. Tucker was trying to stick his tongue down to lick the bottom of the container.
I love that kid, but I really didn't want to volunteer for him to console himself with MY Karmel Sutra. After the tongue stretching thing, I had no choice. I handed it over.

Sounds like you had a good day. The icecram situation was too funny. lol Jenn
LOL Tucker sure is a funny kid!
mmmm ice cream
yum!
LOL, a situation with the icecream. I miss that age with kids, I remember a situation with a handrail and needing to get warm water to help release a tongue. Kids can get into remarkable places. I wouldn't mind a situation with ice cream myself..

Hee hee...I like that. Instead of whining that someone ate all the ice cream, he just decided to lick the box clean. That's making the best of a situation if I've ever seen it.
LOL...too funny! You're a good mom...handing over Ben & Jerry's is difficult...I know.
Not sure yet as to when Mr. Jason can join us for lunch...but I'm working on it hun.
You're right though...probably not until I get back from Florida. I'll call ya when I find out! 
You handed it over? Now....that's true love, right there.
ROFL. We needed a picture, though....!
