Blood Curdling Screams



I have an outdoor front porch and my dad bought a gate with a latch so I can hang out there with the boys without having to worry whether they are going to escape. I have all their favorite toys out there including their kitchen. You would think I could take a 40 second bathroom break and leave them out there that long.

Most of you have probably heard this story already but last week, there I was, mid-stream (sorry for the TMI) when I hear blood curdling screams coming from the front porch. "MOMMY! HELP!!" then screaming. I quickly finished my business and ran out there with my pants still down, fearing one of them had jumped over the railing or ignited the gas grill.

Upon arrival I saw nothing amiss, but Lk was standing there pointing at the wooden railing. "What's wrong?!" I go. "This one! Right there!" he yelled, full of fear. Lo and behold, there was a baby grasshopper perched on the railing. I shooed it off and pulled up my pants.

Drama kings to the core, my guys!

Reminds of how Niall was with spiders. He's still not keen on them but the screaming has stopped ;).

SHUT-UP!!!

Really...SHUT-UP!!!

That could have TOTALLY happened here and I would have done EXACTLY what you did...Pants around the ankles and all! :)

I just want to squeeze those boys! That is what raising toddlers is all about. Moments like that. Too bad we do not have friends around to catch those moments on film for us! :)
