Salami - Not just a sandwich food.

Last night dinner was not just dinner, it was also a fashion show.  That is correct - you read right - a fashion show.  As I was talking on the phone I had to ask the person to hold on for a minute so that I could say, "Take the salami off your face.  No salami glasses!"  I also had to say out loud - to real people - in a serious manner, "Take the salami off your sister's head.  Salami is not a hat!"  Then to top it all off I had to tell the bigs, "We do not have food fights in this house!  Wyatt, put the sandwich down before I take it and beat you with it!"  Of course they know I'm not serious and just start giggling.  "hahaha.  beat you with a sandwich..."  is what I heard as I walked away.

Now anyone who knows our family knows that what I just told my kids is a total lie.  We did have a food fight here and it was the adults who prompted it.  Actually reminiscing about the food fight we had here (cake flying everywhere) is what started this last night.  Riley and Wyatt were plotting how "next time" there is a food fight at our house they are going to get right in the mix of it all instead of watching from the sidelines.  Oh - No.  We are not making a tradition out of that.

Oh the great ideas they have...

Yesterday morning I came into the kitchen to find cheese and peaches all over the floor.  Ben and Collin were sitting at the table just laughing and laughing.  I stopped - stared - and then asked very loudly "what are you doing in here?!?!?!". Ben looks at me totally straight faced and answered, "playing the game of eww.". They were picking up a piece of food and yelling EWW and then throwing it on the floor.  I made Ben pinky swear that he would never play the game of eww again. 

Then in the evening I was making dinner and Collin wanted a string cheese.  That was fine with me until I found out that he stuffed it down the sink in the basement, filled the sink until it was over flowing on the floor, and Collin and Ben were driving their boats in the water.
