WHAT THE........

It's about 4:30 PM and I'm just sitting on the couch watching Ashlyn read her books and play with toys, she was sitting near her chair that is directly below one of the big windows in our great room! I just checked on dinner and started the oven for some biscuits! About 30 seconds after I sit down I hear an object hit the back window and then I just heard glass break and fall! I was shocked, first of all that it was our BACK window (how does that get hit with something, there are only single level homes in my block). So I call Blake and tell him how upset I am, and then decide I'm going to drive around the block to see if any kids are messing around outside. I didn't find any kids out in the road, and our neighbors don't really have kids - the ones that do were out of town! Blake gets home and we realize that it was similar to a pellet from a pellet gun but larger and it tore a hole in our screen, broke the outer pane of glass on our window and the "pellet" is now in between the panes! I just keep wondering if the screen hadn't slowed it down if it would have punctured both panes and made it in the house - also the fact that Ashlyn was sitting very close to the window made me nervous as well, she always climbs in that window sill. So the mysterious glass breaking will remain a mystery unless some kid that was playing with a pellet gun feels guilty enough to come tell us. Until then we will be in search of a company that can replace our window to match our existing ones without breaking our bank!

Holy cow!!! I would be knocking on doors mad as can be finding those dumb kids. That is very scary. Sucks it happened but at least no one was hurt.

WOW!! I'm glad your daughter didn't get hurt. That is scary. I hope who ever did it confesses so you don't have to pay the bill.

That is so scary! I hope you find who did that!

Yeah, I would probably knock on a few doors. Possibly...just possibly...to give the guilty party may not realize what happened. Years ago my younger brother threw a pebble at the sliding glass door and shattered the whole thing. I never would have thought that thick glass is very fragile! Good luck with the replacement!
