Knock knock, who's there?

So one drawback to having kids is the fact that when someone comes to the door and #1 I am not presentable/decent… or #2 I look like I just woke up and it’s 3 in the afternoon (see #1)… or #3 I just don’t feel like answering and risking another door to door salesman (shoot me now!)… it is pretty hard to pretend like no one is home when the person on the other side is hearing,

“MOOOMMMMM SOMEONE IS AT THE DOOOOOORRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

And then, “I get to open the door!” “No I get to open the door!!”

And then, “But we can’t open the door without mom!!!!!”

And then, “LOGAN DON’T OPEN THE DOOR! WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR MOM!”

And then SCREAMING: “NO! I DO IT!!!”

And then the sounds of a physical struggle, more screaming, and "OW!  I'M TELLING!!!!"  "WELL I'M GONNA TELL ON YOU!"

And then me yelling, “GUYS DON’T GET THE DOOR WE ARE NOT HOME!!!!!!!”

Ha ha, I don’t say that, but I want to.

So please, drop on by any given day and you just might be in for a show. Drama, comedy, and even horror, because some days I could seriously pass for a man.  Come on down, we have no shame here!

I am so guilty of this, I have answered the door to way too many salesman so now any time the doorbell rings unexpectedly Zachary knows to be quiet & not answer it; I trained him well! ;)

I seriously have to be the worst at this! My front door opens up to my entire downstairs (stupid layout) and if its not clean, or I'm no dressed.. I don't answer when I'm not expecting someone. It's not that I don't love people coming over, I just need warning! lol. Melissa knows..

That's hilarious! That sounds like my kids and me. A lot of times I'll see the salesmen going to other people's houses first, so then I'll tell my kids, "Hey guys, let's go in mommy's room (which is in the back of the house far from the front door) I want to show you something cool. Oh yeah and don't go into the living room if you hear a knock on the door." It works out nicely. The only drawback is that once all the kids are in my room I actually have to find something cool to show them." Maybe I should keep a special drawer of "cool" things in my room just for occasions like these. Ha ha!
