Are We Bad Parents??

Jason got this bright idea one morning... He told Alli to sit on Holly and "hold on tight" to her collar. Alli obediently did as Daddy said. Mommy said, "Wait, let me get the camera!"



All looks fine and well for the first 1/2 second.
Mommy did say, "Are you holding her?"



But didn't realize Daddy wasn't holding her as Mommy said, "COME HOLLY!"
Holly obediently did as Mommy said and came running!



I must say, my photography skills are getting pretty good! What a great shot! Should I be ashamed that we let our daughter ride the dog and FLY off while we laughed and laughed? Poor Allison. That's how Mommy & Daddy amuse themselves while the boys are at school.

No you are not bad parents...although I would do the same so maybe my opinion is a little off. That has to be the greatest action shot ever! She'll love that picture when she gets older. I kept waiting for there to be a picture of Alli with a black eye or busted lip or something at the end...none of those? I hope she was o.k.

No Mags - she was okay. She wimpered a bit about her hip (that's what she landed on). Don't you love that last pic - she'll holding on so tightly even as she's going down! That's my girl!

So funny! I love it! You're great parents for being so much FUN!

That's classic! I knew she would try ridding Holly one day but I didn't think Mom and Dad would be the ones to encourage it! Too funny!

It looks like you sure are enjoying your daughter! Good for you! Maybe it will happen for us! We'll keep you posted on that! But I need to go sane first, before I end up having another. And YES, my days are always that hectic!
By the way, Ali is so beautiful! She looks like you!

Oh my goodness that is too funny! I just looked at the photos at first and started laughing because I knew what was coming. Great shot! That will be a great story to tell when she gets older. HAHAHAHA! That totally sounds like something Jason would try too!!!

That's hilarious!!

Heather said...

Maggie totally called it! I thought for sure as I scrolled down there would be one of Alli in tears! (Maybe you missed that one because you were laughing too hard:)?!) I think it is so funny too! (also probably something I would do though!)

You are kidding me! That is the BEST picture EVER!

How funny is that?!?! I hope she was not hurt!
Oh, I see on a post you said she was okay. I love looking at your pictures!

What a great photo Nicole! What a sport Alli is, she has such a fun loving Daddy that will do those things with her, and a very patient Holly! You will cherish this photo in the years to come. Love Papa and Nana
