Last night, Phil and I went out for dinner and drinks with friends. We were introduced to a married couple who had five kids. We told them that Phil has five boys. So we ended up chatting about that for a while. It made me recall some of my favorite stories that I like to tell about when we split up and maybe at one point we only have three boys at one time, or when Phil takes some kids to basketball and I watch two boys.
For example... a few months ago, for one reason or another, Phil and I only had "the bigs" (that's what I call his older three boys). ... My eyes LIT UP and I told Phil, "Let's go out for dinner tonight! We only have three boys!" ... So yes, we went out to Famous Dave's.
Then a couple nights ago, Phil took three boys to basketball and I watched two. Well, I had some errands to run at Target that evening, so I took the two boys with me. The oldest played his cards just right and said, "Jen, Can we get ICEEs??" ... I was giving it some thought when he continued with, "Jen, you only have to buy TWO ICEEs... NOT FIVE." ... Well played, sir, ... well played. Yes, they did get ICEEs. lol...
