An Escapee

Somehow Amy escaped out the front door without anyone noticing. What followed was several minutes of panic. Kenny was downstairs watching the end of the Jazz game. Amy went to join him. Several minutes later Amy was tired of the Jazz and went upstairs. No big deal. However, she figured out how to open that front screen door and found her way outside, across the street, and into our neighbor's yard! After a few minutes of no footsteps above Kenny comes up the stairs to see what mischief she is into. But Amy is not found in the house - anywhere. Luckily it didn't take him too long to check out our neighbor's yard. There she was playing in a puddle in her purple-footed pajamas. Wish I had a picture. Her pajama feet were soaked. Luckily, nothing else happened. It was a little lesson for us to keep our screen doors locked :).

She is quite the adventurer! Isn't it crazy how that sort of thing can happen in split seconds? I can't tell you how many times that sort of thing has happened with the kids - you're cute wishing for the camera once you found her, as I'm usually clenching my teeth and bright red!

I would have freaked out!!! You are lucky she was still so close. And okay. That has happened to me in Target and has scared me to DEATH!!!! I am glad you found her. Ahhhh, the innocence!:)

I wasn't home when Amy escaped, so I just heard about the episode from Kenny. It was easy to wish to have a picture then, after I found her home and snuggled in bed! :)

Ha Ha Kenny got the scare of his life I'm sure! They need that every once in a while so they feel our pain, you know?!

Holy crap. I think I would have had a heart attack. Good thing Kenny went to look what she was up to instead of getting too sucked into the Jazz game. I mean, if it were Rich, I wonder how long it would have taken!!! (He is a GREAT and attentive father, he is also a HUGE jazz fan...)
