What Really Happened 

In a comment to my last post, Rhonda asked if anyone fell in the water. Let me just paint you a little picture of the "goings-on" only seconds after I snapped that picture.

I looked up to see Ben soaking wet up to his chest.

I took a breath to deal with him when I heard Luke say, "Oh NO!" I looked over at him to see his croc floating down the waterfall and into the reservoir.

Before I can say, "sorry buddy, it's gone now." I hear a splash and look over to see Ethan (not wearing crocs but shoes and socks) standing in knee deep water.

I turn to check on Aisling to make sure she hasn't run off during all of this only to see her with A CIGARETTE BUTT IN HER MOUTH!

 

I scooped up the babies, said to the boys, "we're leaving right now, let's go." And raised my white flag of defeat all the way home.

Oh Sheryl- I'll never forget our first trip to Wisconsin Dells with Jeff's family. We had to DIG OUT a cigarette butt from Carter's mouth!

Forgive me for my giggles...they're certainly not giggles of judgement, though. I've had moments like that...IN MY OWN HOUSE. ;)

Wow, that was quite the few moments you had there! Kiddos sure know how to keep the Mama on her toes!

Snort. Gosh, when you are in those moments, they just seem like a crushing, overwhelming defeat don't they? But, at least you are able to find humour in it after the fact - that is what is truly important.

When is your next adventure?

OHMYGOSH. This is like a cut out of my own life. Craziness!
I am cracking up so hard right now just picturing all of this play out...you poor thang! I hope you were able to retrieve the croc, but I guess you probably just wanted to get everyone safe away from the water. Crocs are replaceable. Aisling is a party girl. LOL.

good afternoon everyone

my nephew last night stumbled into a website. the online store is listing wide variety of good priced label shoes. the store is selling the items with almost 75% discounts. my brother really liked to get a pair before the vacation and not sure that order is going to be delivered in right on time. I am considering to purchase those <a href=http://www.menspradashoes.net>gucci shoes</a> but havent decided yet.

just urged to share with you people.

thanks bros.
