What's Been Going On?

Just a quick update here.

Well...my purse was stolen on Saturday. I was at the playground with my kids for crying out loud!!! Couldn't have been a more wholesome scenario, and thieves took advantage. I admit that I was pretty stupid. I left my purse in the car. Mike wasn't able to go with me, so I was thinking that carrying a purse on top of holding kids' hands and getting them safely there wasn't necessary. And the parking lot (and my car) were visible from the playground. I think the thieves know that parents are consumed with watching their kids instead of being aware of their surroundings, so they pray on those parents. And why wouldn't they? They're absolutely right. I was watching Kaitlyn and Nicole have the best time going up and down the slide themselves!!! They loved it. We had a great time (until we got back to the parking lot).

So, even though I could see my car the whole time, I don't think I glanced that way once. And the thieves probably also realize that there are plenty of moms who leave their purses in the car. So, not only did my purse get stolen, but we had to replace 2 windows on the car. They tried one window first, apparently, and it wouldn't shatter. So, they moved to another window. Of course the first window had plenty of spider vein cracks in it though, so it still had to be replaced. SUCKS! And they got more than one car cause their strategy is dead on...moms leave purses in cars, especially somewhere like a playground. Well, not this mom anymore! I have learned a very valuable lesson...the VERY HARD WAY though!

I just don't get it though. Saturday was a beautiful day. The playground was packed! Cars coming and going every few minutes. These thieves had guts to say the least. They obviously have this down to a science so they can get in and out in a matter of seconds. Oh well....I'll say it again...SUCKS!

Second update...I'm counting down to Kaitlyn's evaluation results. Only 2 more days. We find out Friday morning. Keep your fingers crossed.

Third update...we took some very cute pictures on Sunday of the girls outside with beautiful landscaping in the background. There are several that I really like. When I have a chance, I'll upload photos, so stay tuned.
