Last night was very different. It started out the same, but some things changed. The girls were all asleep, even Lilly in her own room. Kerry and I were watching a movie in our room when all of a sudden Lilly starts screaming for Mommy like someone is attacking her, i ran in there as fast as i could and to my amazement what did i see? A bat flying all around in her room. Scary- I grabbed her as fast as I could and started screaming for Kerry. I quickly closed her door and ran into our room. Lilly was so startled from waking up from a bat she is crying frantically.
Kerry went into her room and I follow him in there to try to find the bat. It was no where to be seen. Kerry said “OK you go look for it!” So I did, i looked everywhere and couldn’t find it. I looked behind the curtains and it was hiding snuggled up inside one. I’m so glad it didn’t come down and bite me. We had no clue what to do, Kerry said, ok what would your dad do? I said he would go up and grab it! Hes not scared of anything! I was wishing he was here!
Anyways, while lilly was in our room crying and the girls were still sound asleep, we tried to figure out what to do with it. Me being an animal lover i didn’t want to hurt it. So we pulled down the curtains and put them into a box and tried to put a cover on it (well I was actually) then Kerry said do you hear that? The bat was screeching and that scared me so i quick ran out and closed the door with Kerry in there. OOPS! He quickly ran out and we tried to think of some other options. Well next option and only other option was to shoot it. Kerry has a bb gun and started shooting at it, sorry Lilly she now has some small holes in her walls. After a bit it fell down and it was dead. That was not what we wanted to do but we had no choice. Wish we would have gotten that one on tape, this is now the second one Kerry had to take care of! Hopefully the end!
OK, now I’m jealous!! I’m with the girls all day long every day, but the one time Emma wants to walk, I am in the kitchen cleaning up. Kerry yells to me afterwards that Emma just walked the whole room by herself with out falling. Go figure. I will try to get some pictures and video on here for you to see. Already today, Emma and Alyssa were walking together but only for a few steps. Its really weird to see them walking together, especially up close to Lilly for how tiny they are compared to her. Katie being the first to roll over and crawl, is the last one to try to walk. They are so cute and a true blessing!
