Friday, I put Phoebe down for her nap and was going to go take a shower. I told Luke that I was going to do this and to watch his show and stay put...But I did have a feeling he was going to try to go outside I guess I should have listened...Anyway I closed and locked the screen door and the inside door... and the kitchen door. Half way through my shower I had the feeling Luke is gone...I didn't listen. I did finish quickly and put my contacts in. Opened the door the house was Silent! Luke had turned off the TV. I ran downstairs...He was not on the couch. The doors were all open. I ran up and got dressed super fast and looked out my windows to see if I could see Luke from there... Nothing. I go out and at first I thought all Luke's bikes were here, so I went and figured he was in the garage... No, but as I look back at the bikes I realize that Luke's new bike was gone. Panic sets in! I talk to the neighbor she checks her yard and her next yard over... I got in the Van and drove down the cul-de-sac...I didn't see him anywhere...So I start thinking about where he would have gone, I couldn't imagine him going on the main road. But I didn't know what he would have done....I checked one more place our other neighbors backyard, No not there....My neighbor said she would drive up to the park and check there... OH I was hoping he was there... I called and called Adam over and over till he finally called me back I told him what was up and he told me to call the police....OK... So I called 911
I have had reoccurring dreams about getting put on hold when I had to call 911...But thankfully they didn't...I gave them my information over and over...Then after several minutes I look up and see Luke pedaling down the lane at me with a big smile on his face...OY... I tell the lady that I see him, then the first of 3 police cars pull in...
Disaster averted! The police were really nice and the guy gave me a big hug and asked me if I was Ok, I was crying like crazy. I ask Luke where you? He just points behind him down the lane.... he hands me a hand full of petals, 'These are for you Mom" Thanks Luke! Adam came home shortly afterward and thanked the Police for their help...And I checked my phone yesterday when I took the picture to see how long I had talked to them, It was about 5 minutes. So the Good news is that in about 4 minutes the police will be at my house if I ever have to call them again... But lets just hope we don't~!

That is just a crazy story! I'm glad he was okay. I always worry when I get in the shower what my kids will do. Most of the time I just make them get in with me because I worry so much about it. It's crazy how fast kids can be! Breathe a sigh of relief now! :)
Aaaaackkk!!!! Chantel, I am dying for you. What a crazy nightmare...so glad he's okay! (Cute little stinker!) And now, what a story you have to tell him the rest of his life (--about how he owes you BIG TIME!)
