That we decided that the soccer team we are coaching is our trial run for doing foster care?
That Abby had barely touched the ball until I promised her a hot fudge sundae and then she scored the one and only goal within about 30 seconds?
That Sophia is not keeping our top secret blackmail of "I will give you a penny for every time you kick the ball" deal when she yells from across the field, "MOM, I GET 100 PENNIES!!!"?
That I had this conversation with Sophia in the middle of the game:
Sophia: Mom, I get 60 pennies!
Me: No way!
Sophia: Fine. You're right! I get 50 pennies!
Me: Whatever. I think it was more like 40!
Sophia: (long pause) Okay!
????
That Sophia was doing cartwheels while Abby was making "shadow butterflies" from the setting sun in the middle of our game?
That we had a parent ask us on Saturday about the pictures. Oh crap. We forgot to pick them up! So we told this mom that we were going to go pick them up right away so we would have them for tonight. Of course, she (VERY nicely) asked if we had them tonight and we had to confess to being big fat losers and not having them. But we told her we would go get them right away so we will have them on Saturday... Fast forward to the drive-thru line at McDonald's for the promised hot fudge sundae when Tim looked at me and said, "DOH! (Okay, he really didn't say 'DOH' but it makes the story funnier if I say he did!) We didn't stop and get the pictures!"???
This particular conversation in the van on the way to soccer:
Me: Did you get the balls?
Tim: Hee hee. I got the balls and they're loaded.
Emily and Matthew: EWWWWWWW!
Emily: Dad, you don't have ENOUGH of those!
Tim: I had enough to bring you into this world!
Matthew: No, Mom brought Emily into this world, right Mom?
Me: Well, we both did.
Matthew: ???
Emily: And now that you brought me in to this world, you can't get rid of me! Mwhahahahahaha!
Sophia: Ewwww! That's disgusting!
Emily and I: What's disgusting?
Sophia: That Dad farted!

That Matthew accidentally spilled his milk at dinner and Lizzie (sweet doggy) lapped it up as it fell through the leaf cracks on the table, getting it all over her head. Then 5 minutes later, Sophia spilled her milk, leaking again through the cracks and while Lizzie lapped that up, Tim accidentally spilled the plate that had the pork steak juice on it which also leaked through the cracks. So now, our dog looks like she used hair gel this morning. ??????
That while in line at McDonald's,
Abby: So... we live in America?
Us: Yeaaaaaah.
Abby: Well, that is weird, because I thought America was some place that had brick streets and wooden ships and an ocean nearby.
??? *Thank YOU, American History books- you chose all the accurate drawings of America!*
OR that as we are trying to get approved to do foster care/adoption, I nearly gave Sophia a concussion! I got something out of the freezer and gave it a good slam while I walked away. I heard a "kuh-thunk" and turned around just as Sophia was about to pass out. She was fine with no open wounds but a nice goose egg on her head. Poor baby. However, the two lessons I learned from this incident... 1) your child will continue to grow whether you want them to or not and 2) do NOT laugh when your child takes a freezer door to the head. ????
