Never a Dull Moment...

Today Hannah committed a 'B&E' (for those of you who don't know what that is, it is Breaking & Entering!)

I am dead serious. Let me explain what happened....

The weather was nice today and while Victoria was napping this afternoon I took Hannah outside to play. Hannah wanted to play 'hide and seek' and I let her go first. Hannah usually hides in our neighbour's driveway behind our hedges... so after I finished counting I went to look for her. She wasn't in the neighbour's driveway so I started looking around for her. I was thinking to myself that she was getting better at hiding... she usually gives herself away by laughing or shouting out where she is.

After a minute or two I still couldn't find her. I called her name a couple times and she didn't answer me. I wasn't too worried because we live in a cul-de-sac and she really couldn't have gone too far while I was counting to 10.

As I am walking back across the cul-de-sac I see Hannah... she was standing inside our neighbour's living room waving at me through the window!!!! I was shocked! How the heck did she get in the neighbour's house?? They work during the day and I knew they weren't home because both of their vehicles were gone.

I guess Hannah could tell from my face (and a few hand gestures!) that she was going to get it. Next thing I know she disappears from the window with the curtains swaying as she bolted off. A couple minutes later she comes running out of the neighbour's backyard and I marched her home.

I asked Hannah how she got inside their house and she told me that she opened their sliding door (it wasn't locked) and she went inside to hide. She told me that there was a bag of chips on their kitchen table (I think she ate them!) and she even said she went upstairs to see if anyone was home! I was horrified that she was wandering through their house while snacking on a bag of their chips!

So tonight after dinner I took Hannah over to the neighbour's house so she could explain what she did and apologise. I was worried that she had made a mess in their house or something and these people came home from work and thought their house had been ransacked.

Here is the funniest part... when I told the neighbour what happened she told me that her 16 year old son was home sick from school today. So she calls him to the door and asks him if he knew that Hannah was in the house. He goes all red in the face and says that he heard 'someone' in the house and he was so scared that he hid under his covers until the 'person' left!! I am just glad he didn't call the cops!
