Hungry Mama

Today I was heading to the redbox to pick up a chick flick and it was around lunchtime and I saw the McDonald’s and I thought, why NOT. So I was getting ready to go through the drive-thru when Jenna and Carter started going at it AGAIN they had been squabbling like the whole time we’d been in the car and were driving me CRAZY! I’d already gotten mad at them a few times so in a fit of exasperation I said, “That’s IT we are NOT going to McDonald’s!” Except I really was hungry so I thought dang why did I say that, and they were crying in the back, and I was debating what I should do and suddenly THIS comes out of my mouth,

“OKAY we will get food at McDonald’s but if you guys fight ONE MORE TIME I am going to EAT ALL YOUR FOOD!”

I couldn’t believe I just said that! Suddenly I get these images in my head of Jenna and Carter staring at me with their mouths hanging open in shock as I stuff their food in my face, French fries dangling out of my mouth with fistfuls of chicken nuggets in my ketchup-smeared fingers and I could not keep a straight face. I sat there, trying to hide my laughter, while Jenna and Carter are probably thinking WHAT is going on with mom is she mad, is she happy? Seriously though, they were angels all through the drive-thru, I guess it was a good enough threat.

And when they're NOT fighting, Jenna and Carter...

Try on swimsuits.


Play in "tunnels." (I put the blanket up like that and they thought it was like the coolest.)


Bend themselves in half.


And dote on their brother.



Wish they could treat each other as nicely as they treat the baby!

Check out these cheeks.


And here's a video clip, Logan kept sliding himself down the couch, and Carter thought it was the funniest thing ever!
