Elvis Is In The Building

We slept in today and it felt refreshing. Patrick's tooth broke through his gums. He still is a little cranky, but he slept for 10 hours and then another 3 hours. When we woke up, we felt like having waffles for breakfast, so Andrew decided he would cook breakfast. Mia helped him in the kitchen, but let him do all the measuring. There was flour all over the floor and countertop. Messy cooks are the best chefs and the waffles were delicious. Patrick just played in his jumperoo while we eat our breakfast.

After breakfast, Greg and Andrew went to Micro Center and then watched the San Diego Chargers football game. My nephew knows the rules of football and I was amazed that he knew so many names of the football players. He definitely is a sports nut. Andrew had fun with his uncle as they cheered for their team. I can't wait for Patrick to watch football with his daddy.

We all gathered in the minivan to take Andrew home. We get one block from our house and we see a yellow Labrador with a red collar and we immediately thought Elvis got loose. We couldn't remember if we left the garage door opened as we were all getting into the minivan. Two little girls were taking a walk, so I asked them if that was their dog and they said no. How could Elvis get out of the house without anyone seeing him? My heart immediately began to race. It's such a horrible feeling when you think something happened to your dog. The lab was roaming through the neighbor and we finally spotted the dog. Greg gets out and runs towards the dog and shouts "Elvis". The dog stops in his tracks, then looks at Greg and goes "Woof". Greg said, "Elvis"? Then a neighbor comes out of his house and realizes that his dog got loose. It wasn't our beloved Elvis after all. Boy did we have a good laugh once we got in the van and my heart beat began to beat normal.
