• The great child chase....

  Do you sense the recurring theme?

  
  

  We just had ten years shaved off our lives.  We were exhausted after getting back from chasing the pony, and lounging around the house.  I checked on the kiddos a couple times, Jer was asleep so I felt like I could "relax".

  
  

  I got dinner from the freezer all heads were accounted for, I headed inside got dinner in the oven.  (salsbury steak--aka hamburger with cream of mushroom sauce on it.)  and sat at the computer.

  
  

  Dinner was ready (about 15 minutes).  We rang the bell for the kids, and Rainee and Jamari failed to show.  They tend to be slow, so we rang it again.

  
  

  Still no show.  Rob heads for the llama field, I rang the bell some more.  Zeria headed one direction, Samuel another--no kids.  Rob came back from the llama field--no kids.  

  
  

  Panic ensues.   Samuel heads for the river, Zeria is sent to the house to keep an eye on Jeremiah.  I headed to the van to drive down the highway.  The highway is above our property and gives us a birds-eye view of it.  No Rainee & Jamari.  Teresa shows--the halter had been found on the pony.  She says she'll look the other direction on the highway. 

  
  

  And Rob found them.  They were exploring our neighbors r.v....it lives in our llama field--he actually shares a field with us. 

  
  

  They are in sooooooooo much trouble.  Ya know its one of those moments where you hug them senseless, and then scream at them?  They are not allowed outside for a week without one of us.  They aren't allowed out of our sight without one of us. 

  
  

  I'm greatful their alive and okay, and I'm so angry.
