jacob's kin

So the first evening at my sister's house was great! so great in fact that Rachel, Amy and I just couldn't seem to get to bed! In the wee hours of the morning we were still sitting in the bedroom talking when suddenly there was the sound of something hitting the window! All three of us looked at each other and said, "What was that?" We figured it was some ice that was left over from the recent snow storm till we heard it on the other window! We all looked at each other again, Amy swallowed hard and I wished for a man in my life who would open the window and holler out to whoever was trying to scare us. It was the night of halloween so we figured it was prolly some unruly nieghbor boy trying to scare us and he was definitley succeeding. After several minutes passed and there was another bang we decided its time to watch- so we turned out the lights and stood by the windows staring out into the night trying to catch a glimpse of the naughty neighbor boy. Rachel saw there was something on the window sill but couldn't make out what it was, and then low and behold I saw a little head appear out on the porch. Thinking Micah had prolly heard the noise and was going out to investigate I decided this is it, we are the bosses of this house and I was going to find out who was doing this to us! I marched out to the front door yanked it open and there stood Christopher. He jumped when he heard the door open then came streaking in past me and dashed down the basement steps giggling and shouted back, "It was me!!" We went down and dug him out and demanded an explanation! He had gotten up to use the bathroom and saw we were still up so he decided to take advantage! He picked up some little toys, went out and threw them against the windows then came back inside and listened outside the bedroom door to see if we were paying attention! When he heard us talking about it he dashed out and did it again... the little stinker couldn't stop laughing because he had been so successful!! And he is having fun telling all his friends about it! The amazing thing about this story is that Christopher is usually the biggest scardy cat on the block and to think he would actually go out in the dark in the middle of halloween night is almost unbelievable. Oh well, I guess he's growing up!!
