Sundae Night

     A while ago I did away with my to-do list that I posted on the fridge because it was stressing me out. Well today I made another one. But it’s in a notebook. That way I can "forget" I wrote it when I decide to embrace the craziness of toddler life or when it’s freaking me out because nothing is getting done. The to-do list for everything and the whole carry a notebook everywhere to write them was a little too OCD for me and honestly, it wasn’t making me any more organized. It was literally just stressing me out. I don’t think I’m meant to be so organized.  We live on schedules and routines, but sometimes I have to go a little "crazy" and be impetuous. We have the best of times when I embrace an impulse.

    

     I stopped to pick up a rotisserie chicken on the way home tonight. I walked right past the ice cream aisle “Oh what the hell” I thought, “why not?” My kiddo had been asking to make ice cream sundaes all week. It sounded like a nice family activity on Sunday. For some reason I always think Sunday should be family day.  I bought birthday cake ice cream flavor, all the fixings for sundaes, including real whip cream or so it promises on the can. But I forgot the walnuts according to my hubby. 

     When JD saw the ice cream and the bowls the hands started flapping and feet started stomping. Yup, happy excited tot. Sundae bar at the kids table for Sunday night dinner treat. Waffle bowls, plenty of ice cream, and yes it was messy because of course one of them broke their bowl. They loved it! Smiles all around. Never a dull moment! It is so fun to have three toddlers! You get to be a child sometimes right along with them. BTW—my to- do list is in the trash outside the Acme.
