Home Alone, Contini style!

Pete and I had one of our stellar parenting moments today.

Zach had a baseball tournament this weekend.  The plan was to take 2 cars to the games today, because if they won and moved on, Pete was going to have to leave with boys to get them to their practice while I stayed for the second game.

The kids were loaded in the van and Pete and I were packing stuff up in the kitchen.  He said he was leaving, bye meet you there.  A few minutes later I left and noticed the kids and the van still in the garage.  I asked Joey where Dad was.  "He is moving his car" Joey said.  Of course.  He was parked behind the van.  I hopped in my car and left.  A minute later I had a weird feeling.  Where was Pete moving his car to?  I didn't see it out front.  I tried to call him but he didn't answer so I texted him.  He called right back.  "Where did you go?" I asked.  "Remember," he said.  "I left."  "IN YOUR CAR???  I LEFT IN MY CAR!!  THE KIDS ARE HOME ALONE SITTING IN THE VAN!!  UGH!!!"


I was closest so turned around and drove back home.  There they all were, still sitting in the van in the garage, headphones on, watching a movie.

For the record, it was his fault.  He was the one leaving after the first game with the kids, so he should have driven the van, right???

It is so funny that the kids didn't even notice! Did you tell them?
