It's not very often that I find myself without my camera but last night was one of those times. Jay and Jackson have this secret code, or so they think it is a secret, for deciding that tonight should be a Dairy Queen night. And sure enough when I walked downstairs and saw the look on Jack's face I knew what was coming. Now don't get me wrong, I love ice cream...but apparently not as much as my boys. So, we went again for the sought for summer treat. We had been trying for at least a half hour to convince Drew to come downstairs with the rest of the family. What do you think happened when Jay yelled up, "Andrew come on, do you want ice cream?". I could hear the pitter patter of feet immediately! He makes the sound for ice cream and raises his hands and claps, do you think he's excited? We couldn't get out the door fast enough.
Jay thinks this is a riot, and continues to ask him and we all laugh at his response. Here is the drill, we apparently can't just park and go in like normal people...normal being what I would do, perhaps that's not a good definition of normal. Anyway, the boys want to go through the drive thru and then park the van to eat. Weird, I think, but they think it is the biggest thrill. Between my mom and Jay, the biggest DQ fanatics I know we have spent a few evenings like this. Drew has it down to a science and doesn't spill a drop, doesn't talk, acknowledge or move during his feast. Jackson's favorite part is giving the "ice cream girl" the money and then sitting in front with mommy to eat. As I watched them all last night I realized that this is now part of The Sabine Family traditions, mmmm ice cream!
**p.s. both Jay and Jackson were submitted to my lecture on diversity and inclusion last night when Jackson saw a "little person" for the first time. I was fine until Jay added to my, "god made her different b/c she is special" speech... "or he just ran out of time". Jackson thought that made the most sense. Thank you, daddy! **
