Last night I went out with some girlfriends and John was home with the boys. After the boys were in bed John said that he got an interesting phone call. First the phone rang and then it stopped ringing, so he didn't answer it. Then it rang again and John answered the phone and they said "Hello, this is 911, what is your emergency?". John said he didn't call and they said that it sounded like a little kid on the phone, but they were required to call back and make sure that there was not a real emergency. Sure enough, when John went into Wyatt's room Wyatt was sitting on his bed with a phone in his hand. He called them and hung up and then answered the phone when they called back the first time too!
That police tour that we had last week sure made an impression on the boys! They discussed emergencies and how to call 911 when we visited the police station. I didn't really think that it registered with they boys, but I guess that I was wrong!

Today Sam found a kill deer bird nest in the back of our yard. The bird has 3 eggs laying right in the middle of the ground. It's about the least safe spot that you could ever choose to have a nest! This bird is insane if she thinks that her eggs will last long enough to hatch into baby birds! I may end up breaking all of her eggs after the crap that she pulled today!
Poor Sam fell for the classic kill deer faking an injury trick. The bird worked her maiden in distress dance while getting really close to Sam. Then she tricked him into thinking that he could catch her but flew a few feet ahead over and over again. She lured him right out of our yard, through the neighbors yard, and practically into the busy street leading to our subdivision before I spotted him.
I can not believe how fast I sprinted through the yard to get to Sam. My heart was pounding! I was so scared. None of my kids have ever left our yard before and I was in shock!
I explained to Sam that he can't catch birds no matter how hard he tries. I also told him how scared I was and how he can't leave our yard. He was upset, but I don't think that it will happen again...hopefully!

I cleaned up at my Mothers of Multiples sale last weekend! I got 12 pairs of shorts, 8 short sleeve shirts, 3 long pants, 2 long sleeve shirts, and 3 pairs of pajamas for Wyatt for $40! Plus I sold almost all of the stuff that I brought to the sale. We took about 3 truck loads of stuff to the sale and I came home with 1 tote. People were actually buying stuff as I was unloading it from the truck! It was insane. There were 209 people in line by 9am to get into our sale! I was thrilled with the turn out!
