Giggle, giggle……that is what we heard from our bathroom this morning as we were rushing to get out the house before church. Jennifer said, “Oh, great. Ashlyn is eating and probably feeding Cheddar.” I thought to myself, man, does Jen know our kids. But, me being me, I said with a smirk, “Why do you always assume the worst when you hear our kids laughing? But I’m sure you’re right…I’ll go check it out.” So I stepped out into the hall and into the kitchen, where I saw this:
Nothing new…see this all the time. But then I rounded the table where I saw our Golden Retriever, Cheddar, covered in yogurt. Through my smile, I asked Ashlyn what happened and she said simply, “Paint Cheshu……messy.” I had to show Jen this. I led Cheddar down the hall into the bathroom where, on perfect cue, he shook yogurt all over our bathroom. Kids, dogs, and a goofy dad…what a great combo.

Jeromy you are a good writer! I’m enjoying reading all your blogs. They make me laugh, smile and tear up too. I especially like the “bad parent” story. I have one myself. In third grade I missed Storm giving his speech to the ENTIRE school. He was the winner from his class for the speech meet. Ugh. I sooo know the feeling!

Thanks, I’m glad you’re enjoying them.
That’s bad Tammy…much worse than ours. OK, we concede, you win the bad parent award
So his speech won? How did he take you missing it? Or did you just tell him you were in the back? LOL
