Today was like most Sundays. I was busy doing chores dealing with the kids. Ken was preparing for football madness and also helping with the chores and kids. Owen was being...well, Owen. And Shane was outside playing with Rachel. Never mind that it was 45 degrees.
I got a call from Scott (Rachel's dad) warning me that there was a sales person walking around the neighborhood. Score one for good neighbors!
Scott was leaving (with his older daughter in charge of Rachel) but he also wanted to warn me to keep a good eye out on the kids because they were in the cul-de-sac and the sales people were giving him bad vibes. So, I kept an eye on them (peeping through the curtains of course because I didn't want to deal with sales people either).
About three minutes later, Shane and Rachel came inside saying that they were getting weird vibes from the sales people and they wanted to get away from the situation.
That makes me really happy because they recognized a potentially bad situation and exited out of it. You always hope that you give your kids the tools that they need to survive and listening to your instincts is definitely one of those skills.
And those two passed this test with flying colors.
