Turns out…
August 6, 2007
sometimes I do get to be the fun parent.
Of course it helps when Rob is 2500 miles away and unable to usurp my position as the fun one.

But that’s the grandma role. My husband has the fondest memories of tricking his grandparents into thinking that ice cream always goes on breakfast cereal.
Ahhh well.. I am just a mean mommy.
August 6th, 2007 at 6:58 pmI was nice mommy yesterday, I served the kids banana splits for snack. Although I suppose that only balances out the fact that I was mean mommy and made them leave the pool early. (I am so over the pool.)
August 6th, 2007 at 7:00 pmYummy! I want ice cream.
August 6th, 2007 at 7:04 pmI’m usually the “bad parent” or as my son seems to think “the punishment enforcer” I guess it’s because I know my son will still love me even when I make him tidy his toys or wash his hair. My husband on the other hand leaves the good hygiene, good manners & tidyness lessons up to me which makes me the boring or grumpy parent.
August 6th, 2007 at 7:05 pmNot quite the parenting dream I had when growing up.
living by the motto” Always eat dessert first”…and it shows through the size of my jeans…ha!

August 6th, 2007 at 8:11 pmHe sure looks like he’s enjoying his treat! What a great mom!
August 6th, 2007 at 8:29 pmWow! What a cool bowl for ice cream… And he has beautifully shaped eyebrows…
August 6th, 2007 at 8:43 pmThat bowl looks as big as his head!! Perfect!!
August 6th, 2007 at 9:28 pmI will be RIGHT OVER. Think Miles will share with me?
August 6th, 2007 at 9:30 pmGreat pic! Makes me wish I could sock down some ice creamy deliciousness myself.. too bad I’m dieting
August 6th, 2007 at 9:30 pmdude, is that mint chocolate chip with hot fudge? MY FAVORITE.
August 6th, 2007 at 9:35 pmLOL yes it’s fun to spoil the kid while DH is way. That’s their punishment for leaving us behind
August 6th, 2007 at 10:38 pmOh, to be the good cop….
August 6th, 2007 at 11:27 pmActually, I sort of think I am the fun one….poor, poor children.
Maybe I should through a cereal party.
throw, THROW a cereal party….sheeesh
August 6th, 2007 at 11:27 pmWhen my man is out of town, I let the kids have a night where anything they find in the pantry is dinner. And I do mean, anything. Creme de menthe syrup on Pop Tarts with a side of Goldfish, anyone?
