A not so Lucky start

Ugh, I hate writing this. But I jumped the gun announcing our new family member.

 

Lucky snapped at and showed fearful aggression with the boys, Chris, and all other dogs. Chris and other dogs we would try training. But our kids? We couldn't risk our boys being injured for a family pet.

 

Thank you Lucky for showing us how much we really want the right dog for our family and teaching us so much in your short time here. We put our whole heart into you, but our children come first. We hope you find the sedentary single lady hat can give you the home you'd love.

 

 

Parenting Fail: Premature Vacation Buildup

We leave in a couple weeks for a family vacation in the Grand Cayman's (aka "Pops' Island" as the boys have coined it, ha!). I'm getting really excited so we started watching some YouTube videos about the locale and picked up a snorkel set.

Um... Apparently a little too soon! Ethan won't take the gear off and they are ready to get on the plane...NOW!

Ethan practiced snorkeling in a dish in the living room!

Then...Gavin realized we aren't going...TODAY!

Well that took a minute.

Luckily he moved on to putting on his police uniform and "going to work" by the time we had milk and an evening show. Ethan on the other hand is a committed snorkeler.

Now I know why parents spring the Disney vacation on kids the morning of!

Oops.
