It seems like every time I turn around this summer, it is raining. Or threatening to rain. Or lightening. Or thundering. You get the idea. So this evening when the dark clouds rolled in and the lightening and thunder started and the rain came pouring down, the only question that the kids had was, "Are we still going to the Skipper Dipper for ice cream?" . You can see very clearly where their priorities lie. I think I have mentioned on occasion my family's love of ice cream. This was no joke. "Daddy, should you drive over there?" (note the distance from the house to the ice cream place - that reddish building a few feet away) "Daddy, are they open?" (it is confusing when you don't see crowds of people standing outside the Skipper Dipper - but no they are not closed) No worries - My Wonderful Husband was more than willing to risk getting wet or struck by lightening to hike the few feet across the street to get ice cream for our darling children. (oh and himself;-)....I am not as big of a fan of ice cream as the rest of this crowd. There was a slight pause when I told the kids that he was willing to risk his life for the ice cream. A slight pause. "Be careful Daddy." I told you - clear priorities. His mission was successful even if my picture of his return was not quite as successful. ;-)
