oh, how they eat!

After hanging out with the Dean's most the day, my husband returned home around dinner time. With him were two boys with video games and a change of clothes in tow. I am quickly informed that we are having a gaming night. Sounds good to me. Since I had not had dinner I asked Nicholas if they had eaten yet. He responds, well kind of but I will be hungry soon. Greyson responds seperatly that they have all eaten dinner and should be good for the night. So having not eaten yet, I decide that instead of getting my dinner all ready and then having the 3 of them steal it, I would just go ahead and make a kid friendly dinner (no cheese or other weird item). And just in case they would get hungry I made 2 corndogs for me and 1 for each of them, and for good measure I threw in a bag of tator tots. Not 10 minutes later greyson walks in the kitchen and says "that smells good, can I have one". And then right as the bell is about to ring Nicholas says "I am getting kind of hungry, can I get a corndog?". The bell immediately rings and I serve up the feast. Gabe is too busy playing so he gives Nicholas his corndog which goes down as quickly as his first. The plate of tator tots now sits as if there were never any there. For the moment the group is satisfied, I just don't know what we are going to do a couple hours from now, much less in the morning. How anyone can keep these boys fed is a miracle. I just hope I can keep them alive through the night.
