Now this is a story all about how my life got twist turned upside down.
Not really.
Not really.
It's a story that shows what a typical day is like for us in the Reynolds Home For Rambunctious Boys.
Tuesday Preston left for school about 12:20 and I thought to myself "we should go for a walk." It was a nice day, nice meaning under 100 degrees, and I wanted to get some steps in and Lucas had been extra whiny and walks always keep him content. Win Win Win situation. I decided we would take Louie with us too since he's putting on some weight from all the food he steals from us when we leave the house. So I got the stroller out, opened the garage, set it up and thought- I better pump up the wheels since I will have 50+ pounds of boy in here. I left the stroller and went in to look for the tire pump. Couldn't find it. Stopped looking because Jaxton had left the door leading from the garage to the house open and I didn't want Lucas out there crawling around getting all dirty. So I walk into the garage only to see the stroller rolling down the driveway across the street and starting down the block.
Ghost stroller.
Ghost stroller.
Of course Louie being all excited that he was going on a walk thought the stroller was leaving without him and took off after it. Leash-less as it were since Jaxton was chewing on the leash. Boys.
I had a breif moment where I debated in my mind do I go after the stroller or the dog? In the end the stroller won probably because it was more expensive then the dog. And in the next second I thought "wow the boys sure are going to miss that dog. we should have gotten him microchiped or something. maybe I can hang posters up for him." I snapped out of it when Louie started jumping around like he was playing leap frog with invisible players. I called him and when he saw me pusshing the stroller back into the garage he came. Of course by this time Lucas was crawling down the driveway as fast as he could. So much for him not getting dirty.
Ok. So I put the brakes on the stroller, set Lucas in it and trapped the dog between the stroller and house so he couldn't take off again and went to go get his leash. Naturally Jaxton started crying when I took it away from him because he had become attached to his new chew toy. Got the dog ready, took him to the gargae and saw that Lucas had crawled/fallen out of the stroller and was pushing it back down the driveway. Grabbed him, grabbed the stroller, put him in and strapped him in this time, Jaxton stopped crying and I put him in, got the dog attached and we were off!

And after all this I had forgot to pump up the tires which is what started all the chaos in the first place.
Life.
