Keeping up!

My kids aren't really the "chill - sit back and watch" kind of kids. They are a bit high energy and like to keep us on our toes. What a day! No joke, I have got to share these stories, as they literally happened within 1/2 hour of each other.

Brian had Max down at his office for about the last hour of work today. Max was on schedule to just play on the computer while Brian tied up a few loose ends before he came home. Brian came home and told me that he got "caught up" talking to one of his guys and wasn't paying much attention to what Max was doing. When all the sudden, the Sheriff shows up. Concerned, Brian asks the Sheriff if everything is OK? The Sheriff goes on to say that they have received several calls from this location to 911 and he needs to make sure everything is alright. To this hour, Max is holding strong to his story. He has no little sister to blame this time! Nice try buddy!

Literally at the same time, I am at home trying to get dinner ready. Izzy comes up to me with a neighbors sweatshirt and tells me whose it is. I acknowledge the observation and tell her that we will get it to her tomorrow. Not 30 seconds later, and Alex is yelling to me that Izzy has opened the door and is b-lining it down the street to return the sweatshirt. I run to the door (bald headed and all) and Izzy's just about half way down the hill. Funny story... not yet. The funny part is that she has an audience! Several neighbors are watching my 2 year old streak down the open street in her snow boots and t-shirt. Loose as can be - no pants, no diaper... nothing! I drive down the street to pick her up and bring her home. She collectively walks in the garage door and smoothly strolls to the front door and BAM! She escapes again! Naked and all :) I'm happy to entertain the neighbors.

Do I have my hands full? The answer is yes. Fortunately...no harm, no foul - today anyways :)
