Police and the Mail Man

Sitting here enjoying Max and Ruby with the two girls. Ava is snuggled with baby "Annie" (baby alive) in her comfy, reclining blue chair with her favorite blankie tucked around her. Wait, she got up to give me a booger she just picked! (Guess she hasn't learned you can eat those yet:))
Stella is snuggled on the couch with the coveted soft fake fur blanket. It cannot be washed. It is for decoration purposes only. Yeah, right. Not in this house! I frequently have to take it out of beds that it has been snuck into.

Oh, yes, police and mail men...

We just chatted with the mail man outside and he reminded me about this. Lovely!
A week or two ago Stella, Ava and I stopped at a garage sale down the street. Turns out WAY down the street. After we shopped, Stella thought she should put on her jogging shoes and jog home, which I thought was a good idea. She can do that. We just live down the street. So, it was too late when I realized that I would look mighty suspicious following her in my car. She was set on jogging. OK. There are never police on this road. About, 45 seconds into the jog, police.
Lights on.
Parked behind me.
Ask me questions.
Takes my ID.
Parks in front of me.(So I cannot get away)
Stops to talk to Stella.
Then, the mail man saw Stella. Well, he knows her, because she talks to him all the time. He got out and was checking on her and talking to the police. Then he saw me and waved. I am grateful he was watching out for her. But it was causing quite a seen!
The police let me go and Stella finished jogging home. Me following along beside her at about 5 mph. Cautioning her when she had to cross the street and to watch out for the BACKHOE in one yard and getting some funny looks from neighbors. She had to learn sometime, so I think it was a good learning experience for lots of things! Probably a little more than I anticipated.
Of, course, I immediately called my bff to make sure I wasn't crazy for doing that. She said I wasn't. What do you think???
