Ding Dong Ditchin

First thing this morning I found Jess and the kids having My Little Pony Races in the living room. Haha.
Then Paige and I made some chocolate chip cookies, and packed some up and made a card to drop off for some friends who had a hard week.
I told her we'd put them by the door, ring the bell, and RUN FOR IT. She was so cute, all excited to leave them cookies. She kept asking if they'd catch us. I said "Not if we're fast enough." Actually I fully expected to be caught, because she IS a 3 year old after all. Not exactly the fastest runner, yet. PLUS I had to buckle her back into her carseat before they came out and caught us. But somehow we made it out of there. We had fun. I've decided to do stuff like that more often.

She was so excited to be the one to do it all. I just took pictures, and held her up to reach the doorbell.
As soon as she rang it I ran half way to the driveway with her, but then I put her down and said "RUN!" and ran ahead of her, so I could turn around and get a picture of her running.
I think she thought I was going to leave her behind for a second there.

Speaking of ding dong ditching, a week or so ago, Ronnie was helping us with a project. We were all in the kitchen, and the doorbell kept ringing. Nobody was ever there, and the family behind us was having a party, so we figured the kids were doing it and running. Ronnie and I kept running as fast as we could trying to catch them. But we were never fast enough. We were RIGHT there a couple times too. We could NOT figure out how they were getting away so fast, because there's a pretty long run from our door to get out of sight. Eventually we realized Jess, who was up in the attic, was hitting something with his foot that was making the doorbell ring for some reason. We looked so cool, trying SO hard to catch the culprits.

We went to Jenni and Danny's for the superbowl today, too. BUT....I forgot my camera, so no cute pictures of Paige and Cason having fun with all the other kids.
