Funny story.

Ok, so Hike, Alli, FeFe, Nathan, Zach and I all went shopping yesterday at the mall. We were not there long, we knew what we were after and so were in and out in under an hour, but it was so crowded that we thought we had all better take a kid and that way it would be easier to manage them in the crowd. I was pushing the stroler while we were leaving the mall and both older kids had a hold of one of each of Alli's hands while Hike carried all the bags for us and cleared a path through all the shoppers as we made our way to the exit. All of a sudden Alli stopes dead in her tracks and turnes white as a ghose. She looks at he and says " Oh my God, where's Nathan?" She stared at Hike for a second and yelled "Where is Nathan?" then she started to look all around her shouting out his name right in the middle of the crowded mall, and Hike and I were staring at her trying so hard not to laugh our heads off at her as she panicked about what she thought was her lost kid. She turned left and right, looking all around her and the entire time, she was holding onto his hand and he was walking around with her as she looked for him. She had been holding both his and Zachs hands the entire time, and Nathan was staring up at her while she searched for him in a panick. It was good for a laugh that we relayed that night to Mom and Eddie around the dinner table, and I'm sure it will be laughed about for a long time to come. We would not have been laughing at all if he really had been missing, but because she had been holding his hand the entire time...well, anyway. You get the picture!
