Catastrophe

Does looking at this picture give you any reason to break down into a 30 minute meltdown? This view caused both of my kids to fall out and cry for a full half-hour. It's the view out our back patio door. See anything?

Let me zoom in. Anything now?

Ah....now...look closely...do you see the balloon?

Since Jon's birthday in February we've had 2 helium balloons that have been lingering around the house. They are the never-ending balloons, because they were still floating--nearly 2 months later! The kids play with them and run around with them; they just love balloons. Anyways...today our patio door was inadvertantly left open....and the white balloon found its way out to the fresh air. It proceeded to casually float up up and away--only to get stuck in a tree in the yard behind ours! So not only is the balloon gone, it's not really gone!!!

And that's what it takes to cause 2 kids to meltdown in this house!!

Oh sad! It's the little things in life, huh?

Aww, poor things! Isn't it funny that it is the littlest things that mean so much to them.
