Lost

Okay, so I was sitting here reading my sisters' posts about their adorable babies and thinking about what I could possibly put in my blog today that is even remotely interesting. Here's what I got: So at about 8:00 p.m. this evening while I'm bathing my kiddos there was a knock at the door. The little guy from down the street wants to know if his sister is ready to come home. Huh? I proceed to tell him that his sister, who is 6 years old, went home over an hour ago. Now by this time, as I'm sure you all know, it is completely dark and I get really freaked out when the dad pulls up in his truck and can't believe it when I tell him that his daughter is really not in our house. Now, as scary as this all is, the thing that I got out of it was the reaction from my children. They were absolutely frantic, wanting immediately to go out on a search for their lost friend. I was very touched by their compassion and concern. You know, I wonder all the time if I am instilling any good values and attributes in my children. They never cease to disappoint. Oh, and if you're wondering, we did not send out a search party; however, we did walk down to find little Hayden safe and sound at home after wandering off to another friend's house. So ends another eventful day at our house!!
