From once quarreling sisters to now friends and fellow mothers, my dear sis and I shared a moment tonight over dinner. First, M began to melt down after I yanked his drippy, ice-creamed spoon from his grasp. Thankfully J (sister) jumped in, wiped his hands and face, and distracted him from the aforementioned tantrum. All was well. Then, one of her boys took off and the other followed, heading for the restaurant exit. J yelled and took off after them, managing to catch them before they escaped. Oh Heavens...
By the time she returned, we just looked at each other and broke up laughing. What a circus we must have appeared to be. God love us... We continued to laugh, collect ourselves, and then laugh again at the absurdity of it all.
I said a little prayer for the lady at the other table who scowled at us. May she someday know the joy of children.
Here's a shot of 3 of the 4 Motley Crew members from Christmas 2005. How angelic?!
