Brain Freeze

As has become our mid-week custom, Rebecca and I dragged the kiddos to Chick-fil-a for nuggets and some pre-nap playtime today. The girls were adorable, as usual, and kept each other entertained with some odd finger-grabbing game and a high-pitched squealing competition.

After lunch we treated them to ice cream (which Abby Jean calls "yummy!") and were brave/dumb enough to let them hold the cones by themselves for the first time. This experiment in independence actually went fairly well, as the girls are far less inclined to throw down ice cream than they are their sippy cups. Abby Jean is used to ice cream, and took her time enjoying her own personal kids cone. Abby Mae's family treats ice cream as less of an after-dinner standard and more of a special treat, so she was a bit more excited about her dessert. I think she probably would have eaten the paper if her mom hadn't rescued it.

Meanwhile, the boys, completely oblivious to the lunchtime mayhem, kept themselves entertained with a snoring contest in the corner.
