comedy of errors...

Well since we were offered the job at Uptown I have been househunting (keep praying that we'll find a great house with loving neighbors and a place where we can develop relationships with both believers and nonbelievers...) and while I was out with Matt Tringali on the hunt Carrie Dirks kept the big girls--- then all hell broke loose...

As soon as we walked out the door Bennett locked herself in the bathroom with the lights out and while Carrie tried to call me, Dave, Melissa....no answer....she finally got a hold of Jake who gave her the Camden number for the guys to unlock B....in the mean time Celia proceeded to draw in pen on the wall...

poor Carrie was a champ through it all and I must say all things aside Celia's drawing is pretty good.....

I wish you had a picture of the fetal position Bennett was in on the floor when we finally got the door open. Maybe I should take a babysitting class or something.

also note there might have been arms and legs but I saw Celia drawing before the creation could truly mature.

It sounds like you've trained them well, Dave--and I'm not being ironic. If anyone ever broke into your home, those girls would go Home Alone on him like nobodys b'iness. By the way, the picture is awesome.
