The Great Gummi War

Leave it to a dad to devise the most incredibly random, off-the-wall activities for children. I leave the kids in David's hands for half an hour to take a bath, and when I emerge from my restful, relaxing cocoon of steam and bubbles, I step right into the middle of a raging battle. The thundering feet of Isaac nearly trample me as he races by, arm cocked to fire. His ammunition? A bag of gummis. Apparently David thought it would be a great idea to let the kids chase each other around the house throwing bags of gummis at each other. Even Adam, his little legs going a mile a minute, ran by with his beloved gummis in hand ready to attack. This melee went on for an HOUR. Apparently gummis are as good for throwing as they are for eating. Granted the kids had a great time, but really, David? [rolling eyes]. No wonder the kids all like daddy better...he lets them run amok any 'ol time.

Yeah, they were still in the packages...it was like they were hurling little beanbags at each other!

HAHAHA I can see the whole thing now! Sounds like lots of fun. A bubble bath sounds nice too. I might have to see if I can get one of those in soon.

I sympathize with you- the things Patrick does with the kids makes me roll my eyes and send a "really" his way almost everytime. Sometimes I wonder if leaving the kids with him for a break - knowing it will mean at least at least a half hour of cleaning afterwards is really worth it.
