Dad: I'll take the kids out and we'll grill.Me: All of them?
Dad: Sure.
Me: Okay (as I pick them up and shuttle them to the door).
So the grill in the Stuber house is housed in the garage, and when we do grill, we grill in the driveway. Thankfully we don't have a home owner's association because there is no way we're leaving that thing in the backyard to be torn apart.
And then I discover what is happening. The children have been put in the minivan to play while dad grills. Those little hands dismantled every bit of the glove box, the dash, the this and the that and were having a ball. They even found my gum stash and were chewing up and swallowing pieces of gum as fast as their little hands could unwrap them. Argh. My response?
Come on guys. Let's see daddy's car. And we all went and piled into daddy's car and tore it apart while he watched.
It has been agreed. No more car playgrounds for the maniacs.

All of them working together like bees to get the job done! So when do we get to see pictures of Dad's car?:)
This is hillarious!!! Who needs a trip to the zoo when you can create your own adventure in the minivan? They must have been thrilled!
Do you ever watch John and kate plus 8? Kate's sister gave the kids gum once and she flipped out...she said you never give multiples gum....it's just a disaster and you'd never understand unless you had that many kids. I guess you do?
I am strangely addicted to JC+8. And said a hearty amen when I saw the episode where she was trying to get gum out of 6 kids clothing. Mine aren't smart enough not to swallow it yet however....
