Dear Mum

Dear Mum,
    Approximately one month ago, I added this lovely picture to my Facebook page:
I thought it was a very funny picture and quite a hilarious way to show other people just how naughty little Miss Ainsley can be.   However, then I received a phone call from you.  A very frantic and worried phone call.  I had no idea that this picture would be keeping you up at night because you were so fraught with worry!  I also had no idea that giant refrigerators could tip over on top of children, especially when they are wedged into built in cabinets!

Let’s give everyone a quick idea of exactly how this giant, massive refrigerator is placed, just to show everyone the dangers lurking in the kitchen that you so lovingly brought to my attention:

That refrigerator could probably just topple over all by itself, if we aren’t careful!  Even thought it is fully encased on all sides and there is absolutely no fulcrum point, be cautious when walking by….it is a weapon. 

You are a wonderful mother and always so caring and looking out for our best interests, so Garrett and I have ultimately decided to never let Ainsley climb on that refrigerator again.  Thank you so much for your Grandmotherly concern.
However, because we have banned her from such fun household activities, she has since rebelled and taken on some new hobbies.  I am not sure how you will feel about these pictures, so please refrain from looking at them if it will cause you further insomnia!
She recently went with a few buddies to Mount Rushmore and did some light repelling:


On her way home, she stopped by an alligator park and got a closer look:

 Would you believe that she found an Evel Knievel stunt double??
She even made some new furry friends on her trip!
She is on her way home, but she quickly texted me this picture from the plane:
So, thank you so much for showing us the dangers of refrigerators!

And don’t worry, Ethan is getting his flu shot next week, but only after I take him to the local McDonald’s Play Place and let him lick all of the floors.
Love,
Hayley

p.s.  I love you Mum!!!

    Ha ha! That cracks me up. I don’t think my Mom would see the humour in it though.

    So funny! I regularly read the blog (though I’ve never commented before) and the AC stories are always my favorite 🙂

    Hope you are well!

    Molly, thanks so much for responding! I always love when people say they read all the time, but eventually write a comment…. much appreciated!
