He WILL be the death of me...

Isaac, who else? I'm not sure that I can relive every detail, but I'll give you the condensed version. The kids and I met Heidi at a park in the Harbour on Thursday afternoon. Some of the kids, including Isaac, went up a walking trail on the side of a hill. All, but Isaac came down the hill. I wasn't concerned initially, because Isaac is very familiar with the park and trail. I know he likes to hang back from the crowd...I just patiently waited for him to come down. Eventually, I started hollering for him and started walking the trail to physically retrieve him. NO ISAAC! Anywhere!!! Heidi came up to help look and I soon realized I had to make the call. "911, what is your emergency"?
Isaac's version of the story is that he climbed up the hill, went in a tunnel and over a bridge, got "very lost", found a "little girl" on a scooter and she told him the way to get back.
Heidi spotted him just as the police were arriving and we were reunited with teary eyes, a pounding heart, and peed pants.

What's for dinner?

Most days, I have nothing more than disdain for this question. Tonight is easy...TV dinners! I have some stockpiled in the freezer. We popped them in the oven (yeah, it's quicker than the microwave when you're making 7) and voila, dinner!

Happenings while I haven't blogged...

1. Eli got stitches in the top of his head after falling into a bookcase at school.
2. Isaac "accidentally" broke the side view mirror off his teacher's car.
3. Eli got a 2nd degree burn from Ramen Noodles...would have been okay except no one home at the time followed through with proper first aid.
4. Our van decided it needed a day off...$754.35 at the repair shop.
5. Microwave is dead.

Despite it all, we are still standing, barely.
