We finished up our dinner time stuff and then instead of herding everyone upstairs for showers, I announced they needed to put their shoes on and line up at the door.
Whhhaaaaaaat?!?!
Their faces were equal parts shocked and excited. It was priceless. We loaded up into the car and I had to endure a barrage of questions about what we were doing and where we were going. I answered them all with, "You'll have to wait and see..." {L} couldn't take it after about 3.4 minutes and told me that his stomach was telling him that we need to hurry because he's really excited. {P} kept throwing out suggestions and her current favorite is the movie theater. Ugh, maybe another time, doll.
After a short drive we made it to our destination. And they realized we were getting some froyo. Happiness ensued and they could barely get out of the car because of all the celebratory dancing. {P} found the closest human being (an unsuspecting adult sitting on a bench) to share the amazing news. She had a full length conversation about where we were going and what she was about to consume in the most animated way possible. It definitely reflected her emotions.
They were enthralled with the whole process of choosing a yogurt flavor and then picking their toppings of choice. It was just what we needed we sat, chatted, nibbled on froyo, and made friends.
When we got home, daddy surprised us by coming home early. So the natural thing to do was to give him a doctor check up. {P} would find makeshift doctor tools and inspect his eyes, ears and other possible problems. She would mutter to herself, "That's good, that's good." When her brother would ask to borrow something she would say, "Oh, no, sorry buddy, too dangerous." Then go about her business. {L} kept finding maladies and would inform daddy that he had a couple problems. It was hilarious. And we even found a bandage to help him feel better.
It was just what the doctor ordered for our family. Consider us reset and ready for a better day tomorrow.
