My little goalie! Keeping it safe!
My so boring life... (but it works for me). I made an awesome pot of chili for supper. OH! Tucker scared the life out of me. He was outside playing and I live in a very quiet neighborhood full of cul-de-sacs. There are no thru roads. I let him play outside by himself and I go out about every 10 minutes to check on him. Well, I went out once and there was a new boy there so I asked his name and introduced myself and asked where he lived (just making convo). Well about an hour later I walk to the corner to Tucker's friends house and the mom says he's not here. I said what do you mean?! Well, Spencer finally spills the beans (now that I'm near hysterics) that Tucker went into some boys house! So, Spencer thankfully knows where this kid lives and was going to take me there (I was so livid I was going to kill the kid). So, we start heading down the street and here he comes with the little boy. I started screaming (like the crazy mother I am) WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? ARE YOU ALLOWED ON THIS STREET? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? I WAS SCARED TO DEATH - I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD SOMEWHERE!! He looked up at me (knowing he had deliberately disobeyed) and tried to give me a sweet smile. So didn't work this time! I told him he's grounded the rest of the week he's not allowed to play w/ any of his friends. Then his dad and I discussed yet again, why I was so scared and how that boys parents could be crazy and hurt him and how he could get hit by a car on the main street and blah blah blah... I honestly don't think he'll do it again.
So... then... Tucker had a soccer game and we went to that. He played goalie for the first time and was awesome at it! He loved it - he dove on the ball and for the ball and did a great job! What a cutie! He was so very proud of himself! And I got to spend some time with my hubby too. Turned out to be a good night...
Now I guess I should get to work... BLAH!

my girls have done that to me before...it's amazing how terrified a mom can get when her kid is not where they're supposed to be!! i'm glad everything worked out well...

i'm glad your evening went well!

Wow! I know how scary that can be! Ugh! I am so glad mine are getting older now. I guess as moms we never stop worrying, though.

He is such a cutie! I know it's hard to discipline them when they are so darn adorable. Plus, when we ground them, we effectively ground ourselves, too. Bummer.

Hope you're having a decent Tuesday. ;)
