Down by two

When the boys came home from school Friday they had a surprise waiting for them. Mimi, Papa and Winston were here to take them to San Antonio to see Uncle Tommy, Aunt Stefanie and COUSINS!

They were so excited when we told them, Jonah's response, "WHAT, I can't wait six hours to play XBox!".

Luke told us that he had to use a word at school and he used "ZANE" and he did not even know he was going to see him today.

Sophia went down around 7:30 and Seth was just starting his day... We decided to watch a movie and call it a night. I of course fell asleep during the movie, as usual and was only expecting Seth to wake up once during the night. I was so excited to get some sleep!

If you are wondering why on earth I was expecting Seth to only wake up once during the night it's because every other night it's once then the next night is twice. Not really sure why but that's how it's turned out.

So off to dream land I went, soon followed by Justin.

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!

Justin and I jump out of bed because someone is BANGING on our front door... not knocking, BANGING on the glass. Justin stops at our bedroom door to "wake up" a bit and I am sitting there grabbing for the phone. It's midnight and of course we are trying to figure out what is going on.

Justin finally gets to the door and comes back and says, "I ought to get in my truck and go chase those kids who just toilet papered our yard!". That's the clean version :).

I told him he is NOT opening the door. What if it was someone trying to see if we were home or if we heard them banging and that would be their way into the house.

OK, now your wondering why I would think that just because our house got papered. Well, here is the reason I was FREAKING myself out. The night before we watched a movie called Trespass. It is about a home invasion, people dressed like cops knocked on their door and they let them in and bam! They were being robbed.

So now that we are TOTALLY freaked out, we decide to turn the porch light on to let them know we are home AND heard them.

Of course they HAD to know someone was home since both cars were parked out front and have been for two weeks with all the construction going on!

Obviously they did not see the DU stickers on the back of both trucks and realize that Justin embraces his 2nd amendment right to bear arms and is packing some heat! I'm not gonna lie... the shotgun made it out of the safe and bedside.

I know... Your probably thinking that's a little extreme but WHY would we get TP'd? Our kids are all 8 and younger. They did a really bad job too, there were two full rolls on the ground and 4 full rolls in the trees. When Justin was cleaning up he found rocks shoved in the tubes, I guess to make them fly better... nice try but it didn't work!
