I was substituting earlier this week and had to be at the school by 7:30. A friend of ours was going to watch Garrett for us and Greg was going to drop him off a little bit later so Garrett didn't have to get up so early. I went in to grab something from Garrett's room and accidentally woke him up. OOPS...Greg wasn't so thrilled with me! Greg put Garrett in bed with him and figured he would go back to sleep if they had a little snuggle time. Great plan! Garrett fell back asleep...and so did his dad. They both snoozed for awhile--and then Garrett woke up--but Greg didn't! Garrett somehow managed to get himself out of the bed (without waking Greg up) and enjoyed roaming the house all by himself. Greg's not sure, but guessed it could have been anywhere from a half hour to an hour. YIKES! Garrett made a few messes, but nothing serious, and just enjoyed some time to do everything he wanted without us telling him, "No!" Let's just say Greg and I are feeling very, very LUCKY that Garrett was okay and nothing horrible happened. Because Garrett wasn't hurt or didn't destroy anything, we are admitting that is pretty funny, but it makes me sick when I think what could have happened. I still can't figure out how he got out of the bed without hurting himself. If only we had a hidden camera to see his adventures during that time...I'm sure he was having the time of his life.
Despite the craziness of that morning, Greg is a SUPER dad and Garrett absolutely loves him. Here are some cute clips of them playing this week...
Greg got a call last Sunday at 3:52 asking if he could meet with the bishop at 4:00. Greg and I were both born of goodly parents who have taught us to never refuse a Church calling or responsibility, which has brought about many blessings and some interesting experiences. (Like Greg speaking in Stake Conference in his parent's stake the morning after we returned from our honeymoon.) Anyways, Greg left grumbling and slightly nervous about what was coming. He currently teaches in the Elder's Quorum and enjoys it. I figured it would be something to do with the Scouts because they have asked him a couple of times recently to help with some Scouting activities. Greg arrived home at about 4:10 and practically floated through the door. He was gloating and informed me had been called to the second best calling in the Church. (The first best being the Librarian.) He made us guess for awhile and then broke the news....
FIRST COUNSELOR IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL PRESIDENCY!
I asked him what his responsibilites are and he didn't know, but was pretty sure it involved ringing the bell and roaming the halls during Sunday School to make sure all the kids are in class. My mom told him he might have to teach if a teacher doesn't show up, but he informed her that could be delegated to the 2nd Counselor or the Secretary. He wouldn't want to do anything that could jeopardize his chances of ringing the bell at just the right moment. Go Greg!

That is so funny!
Kace and Nate did that sleeping thing when we were in San Diego. All was well except Kace left the condo (where we were staying) and a worker found him in the hall and brought him back to our room and woke Nate up. Nate didn't sleep well after that incident! :)
I just LOVE this story. I so wish we could have seen what he was doing and how he got out of the bed.
Oooh...to be a fly on the wall...how funny....Congrats to Greg...I hope that the calling lives up to his expectations:)
Oh Greg... life just wouldn't quite be the same without him, would it?!?
The clips of the two boys cracked me up.For a minute I thought Garrett was going to bite his dads nose off! As for Gregs new calling, if they were smart, they'd make a new calling for someone to keep an eye on Greg. Lol. With a bell,he'll have a new toy to play with.
