Today is Monday. I had just gotten out of the shower and was in my bathrobe. I made a quick phone call to my Visiting Teaching Partner to confirm some VT details. While I was talking I guess someone knocked on my door, I didn't hear it. I have told the kids time and time again, do not answer the door. Tell mommy first so I can make sure it is safe. I usually let them answer the door if we are expecting someone but most of the time the rule is, "tell mommy first." Well anyway, I heard Tate unlocking the door and then he ran up the stairs and said mom there is someone at the door. I thought he was kidding. So I ignored it. Well anyway Tate was still standing there when I got off the phone and I looked to see that the door was wide open. I said "Tate, Mommy just got out of the shower, you are not supposed to open the door, you are supposed to tell me first." ( I did not yell this I just said it in a frustrated manner....haha!)
He ran to his bedroom. I went downstairs and hid halfway behind the door in my bathrobe to greet two Jehovah's Witnesses. A mom and her son, probably 10 years old! AHHHHH!
She wanted to talk to me and give me pamphlets and share a scripture. I said no thanks I am too embarassed I just got out of the shower. She still didn't want to leave, she wanted to chat some more! (my brain was yelling AHHHHHH! GO AWAY LADY!) Anyway I said no thanks again and closed the door!
I am so embarassed that the 10 year old was there to witness the whole thing, Me, a crazy lady in her bathrobe!
Maybe my boys will finally listen and obey me now about my "answering the door rule!"
AHHHHH!
Or not- Tate feels bad, but Isaac just thinks it is funny!

I think I would have felt the same way. So, far Benjamin has never done that, luckily because we have people come to our door a lot, but he usually will look through the window at them which doesn't always help. Good luck with that!
That's so great! I had my visiting teachers over yesterday when the JW's came and knocked on my door. I wanted to invite them in to hear the message!
I didn't like it when my kids were old enough to answer the door or look out the window....no more hiding and pretending I wasn't home...:)
Hey there...your blog looks really cute...it gets addicting changing the background :)
Cute background! I'm not sure what Kevin and Andrew don't understand about "DON'T ANSWER THE DOOR!"

Yes that is funny. When Cory was little we had to put on of those chain locks on the top of the door where only grown up could reach because he was always opening the door.

Em bar ra sing! Got to love children for that.
