Chilly but Incredible

We are home and headed to bed shortly! A few early mornings were had, but wonderful time as a family. Erk was able to rig up a neato gate system to keep Molly in a bunk in the back of the trailer so all 3 kids “shared a room.” Jack slept on a top bunk, while Mol and Mikie both took bottom bunks. It was fun and so cute to go in at night to check them all, sleeping so sound all in a tiny little area! Three cute kids there I tell ya!

We had an incredible campsite this weekend, although chilly, it was beautiful… a perfect spot. The boys had fun, Mol got acquainted with camping and we just really enjoyed each other. Nanny and Papa came out Saturday night to join us for supper which was great. Sure made for a nice weekend.

We got up and headed home pretty early this morning knowing it was forecasted to rain anyways. Plus we were going to Granny and Grampa’s house to visit with them and Uncle Jon and Aunt Nemi from out of town. We really enjoyed their company and had a great meal. We took off from there to pick up Bean dog, we kenneled her this weekend. Perhaps for the last time?? I’ll explain below –

I forgot to tell you that last Tuesday I had a note from Jack’s teacher to give her a call. I called her cell and she told me Jack had a “rough morning.” She said he was talking really loudly (the ear issues are making him talk loud without knowing it) and that he had a run-in with Jonathan. I said, “ohh, did Jack call Jonathan a name?” She said, “no, they literally ran into each other, Jack hit his knee on Jonathan’s cheek.” Everyone was ok, but some tears were shed. Later in the morning, she tells me, Jack decided to drop his DRAWERS on the playground and take leak. Umm, yeah… Holy cow was I embarrassed! Something these boys do at home, but in public? Sheesh! Jack and I had a conversation about it later and he knew that wasn’t a good idea. It’s so hard not to laugh at it thru the embarrassment!

Back to Bean dog… here was the deal with that. We pull into the kennel and Erk and Jack go in. I waited in the truck with Molly who was wanting out of her carseat and Mikie who had fallen asleep on the way home from Granny’s. Erk and Jack took forever in the kennel, I was really beginning to wonder what the heck was goin on?! Finally they come out and Erk is shaking his head in disbelief. The guy who works there (who is a definite ‘boob looker’ waved as he closed the door). Come to find out Bean dog wrecked not one, not two, but THREE of their kennels!! Umm yeah. She totally gummed up their fencing, we aren’t sure how, but tore holes thru it. My kid pisses in the schoolyard and my dog destroys kennels, what a proud MOM! HA! Gee whiz. The ‘B L’ was gracious about it, but man oh man do we feel terrible! Bean just wigs out and doesn’t know what to do to handle herself. It’s her personality, she just can’t handle confined areas. Poor pup. So our next step is getting a tranquilizer (you may think I’m kidding) and shoot her up and take her camping with us…

I hope you enjoy our pix from the weekend and that you had a good one. Happy Mother’s Day to all you mommas!
