Mom and Dad are in Hawaii. My mom’s waited her entire life to go there.
(Side note: So far unconfirmed, but I’m willing to bet she took no action.)

Literal Shit Show
Steph went to retrieve my nephew after his nap, and encountered him with poop all over his hands. Seems he woke up early, got bored, and found a way to entertain himself.
Kid is nothing if not resourceful.
(After Steph sends photo….)
2017 Family Holiday Card
One paragraph for Steph/Andrew, one paragraph for me/Eric.
The boys share a sentence.
Signs You’re Ready For Parenthood
That moment when your husband catches you on your iPhone calendar calculating the best time to get pregnant so that you won’t miss the annual free, 2-week beach vacation with your mom and dad in August.
So yeah we gotta wait a couple months.
Well There Goes the Blog
Dad: “You can’t post things that are going to make me worry.”
That is BRAND NEW INFORMATION
On the phone with my mom…
Mom: “So I guess Dad and I are never getting our car back, huh?”
Me: “Ummm, incorrect. I sent Dad an entire email detailing how Zack is going to drive it back to Maryland next weekend.”
Mom: “Oh, Dad didn’t tell me.”
Me: “Shocking.”
Mom: “Well, next time you email information like that, just include me on it, because Dad doesn’t tell me anything.”
Me: “Ok.”
Mom: “Actually, you know. There’s a secret way you can include me on the email, so he can’t even see.”
Me: “There IS?!?!?”
Mom: “Yes it’s called a blind copy.”
Sometimes (always), Steph has no time for our antics
Steph and Andrew are going apple picking with their friends instead of hanging out with us. We are jealous and decided to poke.
Standard Car Problems
Eric and I let Zack borrow our (Dad’s) car for the weekend. He returned it to the garage last night, which is about 7 blocks from our apartment.
Also please note how he totally threw his girlfriend under the bus.
What a Roller Coaster
Two hours into a 24-hour babysitting stint with my nephew, and I’ve already run through all the emotions.
