Relatives

I Am JungleGyM

But it inevitably goes too far, by just___that much. Some one get's hurt, feelings or otherwise, or someone gets frustrated. "Daaaaaadddddyyyy! She's not respecting me! (I'm not kidding). I got ahead of myself. Normally they are asleep or at least well on their way by 7:30 - 8:00pm, so when we miss that window, well you get the idea.

Now, When we have company, they take it to another level. Today is Easter Sunday and that means, family function. This year we opted to do dessert at our place. The Sugar Momma out did herself once again, not only does she bring home the bacon, but she also does killer pie. She concocted a dairy-free Key Lime Pie with a meringue topping, oh so good. Family function also means short things are up past their bedtime, which can spell trouble for the rest of the night. Recently we had my baby sister and her boyfriend over for dinner and I think we scared him off kids for a good long time. The Short things were in rare form that night also. It's kind of amusing, We have a gracious couple of relatives who take ThingOne over-night occasionally and she always has a great time. It's always amusing that after dropping her back off at home, they need to go home and nap.

Holidays like Easter present interesting challenges in an allergy-prone household. Sugar Momma always takes care of it though, this past Christmas she found some candy molds and made her own rice-milk chocolate Santa's and the like. She carried this theme on through with Easter and the kid's never know the difference. Adversity Breeds Greatness! (or the need for chocolate drives women to great lengths, one or the other).
