Tonight's negotiation

By
Tonight, I was cooking chicken nuggets for the boys. It has been a while since we had these in the house and I wasn't sure how many to cook for each of them.

Well, these are kind of big nuggets and eight would be a lot. My response was, ok, how about four. Jack quickly responded in a very matter of fact tone, "ok then, four it is".

Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
