Our Soda Party

One thing our children wanted to do in Atlanta was go to the Coca-Cola Museum. We did not go because it was rather costly. The kids had been once before a couple years ago, and the older ones remembered the soda fountain at the end where you get to drink as much soda as is humanly possible. It turns out that's the part they were missing. We never buy soda at the grocery store, so it is a real treat to them to get some. I decided to give them their own soda fountain night.

First we picked out some different sodas to try.


Then the tasting began...




Which quickly turned into mixing very strange drinks.


All had fun mixing and giggling.

This is what we were left with at the end.

Awww! Such sticky fun! Why did I bathe them first?!?!

Well, the fun is over. Tomorrow morning we start a gluten-free, egg-free, corn-free, dairy-free diet. We are hoping to track down what is causing some of the children to have large grey circles under their eyes, splotches of red appearing on their faces or shocking red ears after eating. Hopefully, we will also discover the solution to Tom Sawyers' bed wetting. We know that Tom Sawyers' and Goldilocks' birth father is very allergic to dairy. Perhaps that is some of our problem around here. It would not hurt if we could clean up some not so fun behavior issues, as well. However, I am not holding my breath on that one! Keep us in your thoughts, please.

Blessings, Dawn
