She Escaped!

This morning when I came downstairs with Indiana, Isaac and Abigail were still upstairs playing in Abigail's room. As I was unloading the dishwasher I happened to notice that the neighbor's black and white cat was in our driveway. I didn't think much about it and kept unloading and tidying up the kitchen. Suddenly I hear a scream from upstairs and Isaac and Abigail start running down the stairs screaming, "Mommy! She escaped, Niko is outside. We must have left the garage door open and she got out." They were at the front door by this time, and still in their pajamas, and were ready to run out and "catch" Niko. I told them in was the neighbor's cat, but they had to go to the basement and verify for themselves that Niko was still here. It was nice to see them concerned about their pet though.
