Last week the trio were invited to the church carnival at Auntie Melinda's church. After school, the duo raced home, completed homework (Mysteriously, most of the homework had been completed prior to their getting home. Why doesn't this happen every day???) and finished all other required tasks. At 4:00pm they were out of control and ready to have fun. Unfortunately, the carnival did not start for another two hours.
We began getting ready. Velma and Scooby Doo were outfitted and in character right away. Lauren, on the other hand, had wig issues, and those did not sit well with her. Without breaching her privacy, I will just say that "did not sit well with her" is about as big an understatement that has ever been made. BIG understatement. HUGE.
After an hour or so of discussions, we had the wig in place, and written apologies had been made to the entire family. During this timeframe, Auntie Melinda had a medical emergency and was going to the ER (she is fine).
It was just one of those nights. Did I mention Skip was out of town? Of course he was. (We have a longstanding joke that Skip is conveniently out of town for any major weather event or crisis.)
Anyrate, we pulled ourselves together long enough to go to the carnival, inspect the fire truck and enjoy the inflatables.
