So tonight we were just hanging out and getting the kids ready for bed. When the doorbell rang and there was a police officer standing on the porch. He said we had an open line on with the 911 dispatch. He pointed to the phone on the floor and said I bet that is the one. So I picked up the phone and sure enough it had been on for 25 minutes with a 911 dispatch lady on the other end. I am sure she heard all the kids running around and us telling them to clean up and brush teeth (at least we weren't yelling, I don't think). So I apologized to her and the officer just laughed and left. At least he had a sense of humor about it. After he left we were like darn it, we should have taken a picture with him and blogged it.
Anyways, my vote for Christmas is drawing families and making a gift basket for them. I am good with a $20 limit. What do you all think...
