A funny Sunday

Today is Sunday and we went to church. Like we do every Sunday, late, as usual since baby number 3. What we did differently, however, was go out to eat. Golden Corral, in fact. An oldie, but a goodie.

We met Dustin's dad there, and barely found a seat. Dustin sat with the girls while Tony and I got plates. I picked out what I thought the girls would eat. Small portions, because they tend to pretend they don't eat when we're out. Abby picked and ate a bit of her food. She saw strawberries on a placard on the table and began begging for one, but was told she had to finish her food. Well, by this time PaPa had gotten a second plate of food, about half of it spaghetti, which is actually a dish I have to really nag her to eat, if not feed her myself. She looked and looked and very cutely, asked him for a bite. Which actually sounded like "Ah unt sum?!" A caveman taught the kid to speak, I deny responsibility for her vocabulary. (He's also following her around, teaching her bad words...) PaPa, like all the men in her little life, was completely charmed and, of course, gave her some on her plate. She then proceeded to pick up each strand in turn, lean her head back and pile it in her mouth. When she'd get about two inches from the end, her mouth kept being too small and she would slurp it the rest of the way. She ate about three spoonfuls of spaghetti like this. Hilarious....

After naps and dinner (Rosa's and Sonic), they were sitting at the table pulling the cherries out of their cherry limeades and eating the ice, so their hands were frigid, to say the least. Mommy caught sight of what they were doing and that ended, quick, fast and in a hurry. Faith, the little darling, came and gave her daddy a sweet smile, which totally melted his heart, so he, innocent dear that he is, picked her up and her hands touched his bare chest. Total chaos ensued. He was fake screaming and she was trying to touch any and all bare skin, giggling hysterically. Abby caught the bug, but there wasn't any room for her and she was starting to get weepy, so Mommy called her over. I told her to go around the couch and get Daddy's neck. Hah! Revenge for all those things I can't remember, lol. His face will make me smile for a long time!

Anyway, it was a fun day. Well, mostly......
