Spring Break Update: Wine Spilled, Poop Escaped 😂

🔥

Hi friends… I have to tell you what happened because I’m still laughing 😂

So we’re on spring break right now, and we’ll be traveling Wednesday through Sunday. At the beginning of the week, the twins (9.5 years old) got a little job — walking and playing with our sweet neighbor’s dog. His name is Blue.

Now, you know we live in Florida, so it should be warm… well, it has definitely NOT been warm since Sunday. And on Sunday and Monday, we had really strong winds… so here’s the story…

On Sunday, we went to take care of Blue. I went with the twins because, of course, I’m not letting them do that alone. It was the evening walk/playtime. I was relaxing in their backyard — we’re very close with these neighbors, so I felt comfortable — and I poured myself a glass of wine while the kids were playing with Blue. I even brought the bottle because I figured they’d be busy for at least an hour.

So, finally relaxing with my wine… and Blue decides he wants to be involved too.

Knocks it over.

Half the bottle gone. At least it happened outside, so I was not crying 😅

Then Monday morning… we find 💩 on the floor.

We cleaned it up, put it in a bag — things happen — and I told Nathan to find and throw it in the garage bin, either inside or outside.

He disappears… and then comes back… still holding it.

Just casually walking around like this is completely normal.

So I’m like nope. He tells me he couldn’t find the bin, so I told him to put it outside by the door and we’ll take it later. Yes, it was very windy, but the garage entry is kind of in a nook, so I didn’t think anything of it.

We finish everything with Blue, about to leave…and the bag is gone.

Gone!!! Like, the poop was not there!

Now we’re like… did the wind actually take it??

So we are trying to look for it around there — we get in the car and start driving around the neighborhood…looking for a bag of poop.

Because apparently this is our life now.

Checking under cars, around the house… nothing.

We finally give up and start driving home…and then we see a brown bag flying down the street.

We all look at each other like…“no way…”

But then we look closer…and it’s tied EXACTLY how I tied it.

So of course… we turned around and chased it 😂

Nathan jumps out and starts running after it, while Leah and I are in the car laughing so hard we can barely breathe.

At this point it is raining and very windy, but somehow… he caught it.
