Intruder in the House.....

Thursday as I was in the playroom with the kids playing I heard the chime on our home alarm go off like someone just opened a door or window. Since it was shortly after 5:30pm I assumed it was David coming home early. We have one of the alarm pads in the playroom so I looked up to see what zone set the chime off. It was zone 4 which are windows on the complete opposite side of the house - meaning, it wasn't David. I panicked. I grabbed Savannah and rushed to the next room to get the cordless phone. As I was grabbing the phone I yelled "HELLO!!!" as loud as I could so at least the intruder would know that someone was home and maybe that would scare him away. I immediately turned around, told Benjamin to quickly follow me and we slipped out through the garage and we took refuge in the driveway at the back of the house. I called David and told him what happened. I was terrified. So terrified my voice was breaking, I was stuttering and my whole body was trembling. He left the office right then (thank goodness his office is only about 5 minutes from the house). Well, once he got home we realized what happened. A sensor had fallen off one of the windows in the guest bathroom. The reason it fell off is because that bathroom is being remodeled and the sensor is taped to the window until we get a new window. The humidity from yesterday made the tape useless! All I have to say is "WHEW!" I've always wondered how I would react in a situation like that. So what's the moral of the story? Don't use tape to temporarily fix an alarm sensor.....

On a happier note, my mom brought by a cupcake hat she knitted for Savannah on Friday afternoon. I have to show it off! Love the cherry on top. Savannah and I went shopping for winter clothes for Benjamin on Saturday morning and the hat got lots of compliments. Thanks Mom!
