Last week we had a little excitement around here. On Wednesday, after all of the funeral events, we decided we hadn't had enough of each other. The whole family came over to our house for dinner. We made Japanese food and Tempura. Yum! Did you know you can deep fry anything, including chocolate kisses?
After dinner, we cleaned up and everybody started heading home. First Keli, left. Then Jill. We sat and talked to Meg and Josh for another 15 minutes or so. During that time I said, "Where's Eli?" I just figured he was in the house getting into his PJ's. Why would I think that, I always have to force him to get in them?
Well, Meg and Josh left so we went into the house. No Eli. No Eli down stairs. No Eli in the backyard. Pretty soon we realize there is no Eli anywhere. Gabe told me that Carter told Eli to get in their truck. I thought there was no way because Jill would have seen Eli and brought him right back. Now it has been about 20 minutes since Jill left. Surely she would have seen Eli by now.
So I called Jill. I asked her if she had seen Eli. Her answer: "No, why?"
Me: "Are you serious?"
Jill: "Yes but let me go check!"
Turns out Eli was there. The kids snuck him into the truck and didn't say a thing. Jill even stopped and got gas on the way home.
I don't know how they did it but they got Eli to be quiet that whole time. I want to know their secret because I can't ever shut the kid up.
We are glad to have Eli back but if anybody ever wants to kidnap him again, just tell us first!

haha! so did he get to stay over?
No, he was in so much trouble! He learned to never do that again.
My kids have talked about that all weekend. McKinley won't talk about it because she is the only one that feels bad. It was kinda funny after the scary part was over.
Holy Cow!! That is funny! We are talking serious cloak and dagger for such young ones. Can you imagine how long he had to hide and be extra quiet. And for Jill's kids to not laugh. When they got to the house did he go in and hide too, or was he still hiding in the truck.
It totally cracks me up.
That is pretty dang good!!
woo-hoo!
thats a good one
