The challenge for Sarah and I today was to figure out how to distribute 9 young children between the two of us at Dairy Queen without attracting undue attention.
All nine were thirteen and under.
The majority were 7 and under.
To be precise, we had a 13 year old, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, and two 4 year olds. :D
They were all from either our immediate family, or the Walkers.
They all needed a watchful eye. ;) The answer?
"Um....Sarah....you take four, I'll take five."
Sorry to disappoint you, D.Q., but we *aren't* the Duggars. ;)
We divvied `em up and trooped into Dairy Queen and actually got everyone seated, and waiting fairly quietly for their ice-cream with very little incident beyond Benj jumping up to catch a stink bug, Bekah pointing and yelling at a lady in the parking lot, a rather earnest game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors", and a short rodeo of chair-rearranging. :P
Of course, taking the 7, 6, and 4 year old gals to the bathroom was an adventure. They were fascinated by the motion-sensor-paper-towel-dispenser thingy. Abby let 5 feet of it run before she found out how to rip it off! :P
But over all it was a lot of fun, and a success. We didn't leave anyone behind....or did we? ;)
And you know what game Sarah and I got everyone to play on the way home? "Silent Mouse". We are rather clever, aren't we? ;)
