I thought you were kidding.....

Well life has been extremely busy since my last post. Basketball and volleyball seasons have come to an end. I was a proud mom at the Athletic Awards banquet when Dom was awarded the MVP for junior boys volleyball and Jessica was voted most improved in senior girls basketball.

Soccer and baseball are under way, but they too are winding down. Tonight we had baseball at 5:30 and soccer at 7pm. After driving to and from I was able to sit and watch my daughter Nicki play some soccer. It was a beautiful evening and I didn't need my sleeping back to snuggle in to watch a game. Anyone who lives here with kids who play know what I am referring to. Soccer and baseball are typically played with blowing Arctic winds and you have to bundle up.

Anyway, Nicki had a breakaway and scored a fabulous goal. I was so happy I was paying attention and not gabbing when it happened. I saw the whole thing. At the end of the game she says, "Can we go to DQ?" Of course after her fabulous play and the fact that it was 26 C out, I said sure. I did not bring any treats for any of the 4 boys/men who were possibly at home. It was too hot and they would have been a mess by the time we got there is my rational reason for not doing so.

A small DQ blizzard is usually consumed in the 15 minute drive home. As we neared home I stuffed my empty blizzard cup into Nicki's and I said, "We'll hide the evidence in here." As we pulled into the driveway we grabbed our stuff (my jam packed purse that Jessica hates and everyone else thinks is cool and Nicki's soccer gear) and headed up the sidewalk.

Bob and Josh were sitting outside. Nicki headed in before me. As I hit the doorstep, Bob says "I was just thinking, I hope Cindy brings me a treat from DQ." At this point I thought, crap do I have ice cream on my face, or is this purely coincidental that he was thinking about DQ and we sort of secretly went there? I apologized for not bringing any home and headed into the house.

When I saw Nicki inside, I whispered, "You didn't tell your dad that we went to DQ did you?" She said, "No, but he saw the blizzard cups in my hand." Of course picture the look of disbelief on my face. :P

I looked at her and said, "I told you we needed to hide the evidence!!!!!"

And she said....

"I thought you were just kidding"

So then to explain to her, how next time my hubby goes to Tim Horton's for a coffee, it is unlikely that he will think to bring me an Ice Capp. :P
