Parents of the year hands down

note that there will be plenty of sarcasm in this blog post...

I think Lee and I have finally nailed our nomination for the Parents of the Year Award for 2010 already...

We took the girls to the grocery store today and got the girls to the relative safety of our apartment before getting the groceries out of the car (Lee's job since I was helping the girls scale the stairs). I went down to get a few of the bags and came back up... somehow I didn't see Anna go out the door as I was closing it. So Lee and I are putting away the groceries and I keep hearing a light knocking on the front door... so I finally went to the door and opened it and found Anna standing there with the DVD player remote in her hands... Opps..

Oh that's not enough for an award... ok ok.

Let's see.. last night we ordered dinner in and got the girls some popcorn chicken to eat.. so it arrives and we give them each a couple of pieces to eat (try). Anna takes a bite and her whole body shivered from the heat... thankfully she didn't cry but I felt awful. I had no clue that 1) they were still rather hot and 2) that they had a spicy after taste to them.

Thursday I took the girls to the park with Grandma... Lily was playing in the area with all the ride-on toys and chasing the balls. At one point Lily was playing with a ball and it got away from her and she fell forward tapping her face on the pavement.. she cried but I didn't see any marks on her at all..... well till after naptime on Friday and I noticed a small bruise on her forehead..

Friday Lee had the girls by himself while I went to Curves and then out to do a couple of errands and I got a phone call from him that somehow Lily had gotten ahold of the salt shaker and figured out how to open it and left some nice piles of salt all over the kitchen floor.. She helped Daddy clean it all up though when he got the broom out to clean up after her.

See... Parents of the Year.
