OK, so our weekend can't really rival this, but....

Friday afternoon--after the Christmas program mishaps (I take full responsibility for screwing them up)--things started to get worse.
I was in my office doing work, the boys were in the living room watching TV--very quietly. That should have been my first clue. A few minutes go by...all seems good. A few more...everything is fine. A few more...and Eric starts telling me "gum"--he had been chewing some gum. I yelled in for him to keep it in his mouth and not to play with it (he does that--don't all kids?). A few minutes again..."gum." So I go into see what's going on. He is pointing at the TV saying "gum." I look...he has smeared chewing gum all over the screen of the plasma TV. Yeah. Can't use any chemicals or cleaners. UGH. I got it off 40 minutes later with my finger nails, a microfiber cloth and a hell of a lot of luck. I still can't believe the TV wasn't ruined.
One major catastrophe fixed.
We woke up Saturday morning. Eric and Rob go downstairs, I'm still in bed. Evan comes in to lay with me and I hear the vacuum. I think, "what in the hell could have happened in the first two minutes of the house being awake?" Evan and I come downstairs...Rob is vacuuming up broken glass from the ornaments that broke when THE TREE FELL OVER. Yeah. The freakin' tree fell over. Water all over the carpet, ornaments everywhere, etc. Rob wouldn't let me take a picture. He said it's only funny when it happens to other people.
Second catastrophe fixed.
Saturday night we took the boys to go and see the lights again. We got about three miles away and stopped dead in traffic. Traffic for the lights. Apparently everyone within a 100-mile radius had the same idea. Two hours later we were able to see the entrance to the light display. Evan fell asleep and stayed asleep until Sunday morning. Eric sat patiently and occasionally would say "going to see the lights." It only took us about four hours to see the lights--it's usually an hour and a half at worst!
OK, not a catastrophe, but it was super annoying nonetheless!
