I’ve been meaning to post this for quite some time, when I told Zach what I was going to do he said I better hurry or it’s going to be old news. Well, I’m pretty sure it already is old news, but I still wanted to post.
About twoish weeks ago….
Isaac was going through an “I only sleep two to three hours at a time” spell (turned out to be his first tooth!) Anyway, he woke up around three and Zach went and got him and brought him to our bed so I could nurse him. I don’t generally go back to sleep, but nurse Isaac and then move him back to his bed. Well, on this particular night Zach didn’t have a chance to even get back to sleep before we started hearing noises outside.
We live on a corner and our bedroom has windows that face both streets, so it’s not unusual for us to hear things. Although most of the time it’s pretty quiet around here.
It was a lot of talking and “shooting.” I could tell there were some pelt guns going off as the neighbor behind and one house over uses a pelt gun almost daily. Isaac was nursing so I couldn’t really go investigate, but suddenly Zach was wide awake and wanted to know what was going on, so he opened the front blinds and looked out.
Sure enough, a car of “teenagers” had pulled in front of our driveway, stopped and gotten out to “shoot” at some people up the street. They weren’t there long, but as they got into the car, they thought it would be a good idea to shoot our house up a bit. Man did it make me mad, but what was I going to do? Call the cops and say some kids shot my house with pelt guns and they were in a black four door car? No license plate or discription of the people….plus Zach didn’t have his glasses on.
We are pretty sure it is the same kids that went running through the neighborhood one afternoon last summer with pelt guns shooting each other and hiding behind trees and cars. OOOOoooooo….it just makes me mad. Who thinks it is okay to go running around a neighborhood (day or night) with guns??? I don’t care what kind!
