As parents,we agreed that since this fall the boys don't have to get up until 7 AM their school bedtime will be 9, so this summer they could stay up until 10. Luckily we had not told them this, and sent them down to bed at 9 tonight. After the last of my darlings was down the stairs and off to his room, Mike got a twinkle in his eye......"Wanna go for ice cream?" Especially devious since just this afternoon Pete had asked me if we could bike up to Yups for ice cream. Of course, being the good, kind, loving mother that I am who always puts the needs of her children first, I said "Let's go!" We stood in line, giggeling, wondering who would be more upset when we returned home with our cones - boys or puppy (afterall, she thought the vanilla cone we got her a couple weeks ago was the best thing EVER). We decided the boys would. As we pulled in the driveway, I asked Mike if he thought the boys had noticed we were gone and would be waiting in the living room to ask us what we had been doing. Mike said if that was the case, he would say we went for ice cream and I was to just answer "Yup"
