…goes to:  (drum roll please)  Ta Da        Yours truly!

*deep, sweeping bow*

Yes, that’s right… There is yet another laughable (thankfully) moment to record for you.

Just a little bit ago, I was sitting here, minding my own business when I heard a noise on the couch.  I looked over to find my 16 year old niece reading a book, which alone does not cause alarm.  But, you see, I thought she had the boys inside the house.  Realizing in that instant that it was suspiciously quiet, I headed inside to check on my two little cherubs.

Shockingly as it would seem to be, in my rawther dull life, the front door was open.  And the neighbor girls from 3 doors down pointed to the house next door and said the boys were “over there”. (Yes, why not make this an entire neighborhood affair??)  Now, again, that tid-bit of information should be only mildly alarming, in that the boys were outside without permission or even my knowledge, but no.  Oh no.  The fun fact of this scenario is that Ian was out there in his undies and Owen was out there in front of God and everybody with not a lick or a stitch on his little tush!

As I walk over, the neighbors ask (casually, like they were asking about the weather), whether or not I knew the boys were outside?  I said that, No, in fact, I was unaware that the little precious, adorable, darling boys had escaped…

It’s always exciting to see the look in your neighbors eyes when your 2 naked, wandering children have been corralled and kept safe in your unknowing absence.  Thank you, Lord, for the neighbors being outside!

I think I’m going to get them leashes and tie them to the tree…  By their toes… Upside down…
