I Swear, Officer, We Were Just On Our Way Home From Bible School...

Savannah was so excited to go back to AWANA tonight. We dropped her off, then I went to the market with Scarlett. Afterward, I left Scarlett at home with Jon and went to pick up Savy by myself. She asked to go get ice cream on the way home (a tradition Jon started last year), so we went to Sonic for an oreo blast. Then we headed home.

I had just turned onto Hwy 194 when I thought I saw blue lights behind me. They stopped almost immediately, so I didn't really think anything of it...probably just saw a reflection from a traffic stop somewhere. I made it a little farther down the road (where there are no street lights and it's absolutely pitch black), and it happened again - this time there was no doubt there was a cop behind me. Again, they stopped. My windows are tinted pretty dark, and I didn't see anything behind me. I looked to make sure I wasn't speeding (anyone who lives here knows that you'll get stopped for anything more than 5 miles over), but I wasn't even close to going over. Again with the lights...on then off. At this point, I thought maybe he just wanted to get around me, so I slowed down. No car passed, but he hit the lights again. I had no idea why I was getting pulled over, but I was passing the golf course, so I pulled over at the entrance. It was really dark, and I still couldn't see anything, and no one was walking up to the window...maybe Omar was back there and just messing with me. I'm waiting, and then AGAIN with the lights.....

Savy's new Sketchers Twinkle Toes - I can't believe I got pulled over by a pair of shoes!!!

That is hilarious! We had a funny experience on Tuesday. We went out to eat and Lauren got a balloon. We got in the car and Louis went to start the car and we hear this loud pow Louis jumped at first because he thought it was the van. Then Lauren says daddy my balloon popped.

Oh my goodness; what a story! I got a good laugh out of this one and you've got a good memory to pass down to Savy. You two try to stay out of trouble today, ok?! :-)

That is so funny, Christy. I enjoy your posts so much. I check them every day. You took after Lee Otis in loving to build and finish furniture. He is the best around here. Your girls are precious and I enjoy all their achievements. I know Debbie is so proud of you and your family. Ronda Morman

That is HILARIOUS! Grace has some shoes that light up just like that. They DO look like police lights:)

I'm still laughing over it myself. When it's dark out and the lights are coming from behind me (because Savy still sits in the back), they look exactly like police lights.
