We are not starting out on the right foot

We have been here little over a week and if our neighbors don't already think we are crazy they will soon.

The relief society presidency came over when my house was a complete mess, I had just gotten out of the shower (luckily I was dressed), my children where in diapers and shirts, and Jack kept screaming for milk. Yeah, nice first impression.

Everytime I come out of my house Jack runs away to the commons area and I have to drag him to the car kicking and screaming (did I mention everytime). I can't imagine what my neighbors think.

I lost Jack today. Like gone.  I couldn't find him anywhere.  I was bawling and panicking and I had half the neighborhood looking for him.  He had walked all the way to the church, out of the circle and across a busy street.  I had run to grab the stroller so we could go on a walk and 1 minute later Jack was no where to be seen.  Not fun.  Luckily we found him just walking back (little bugger). Now all my neighbors think I am a terrible mother.

After this fiasco we decide to still go on a walk and play at the playground (don't ask me why).  When we were coming back my cute next door neighbor  came running out to introduce herself. While I was talking to her Jack climbs out of the stroller and starts running away again.  I am running after him while she is pushing Avery.  I grab Jack who starts screaming at the top of his lungs and then Avery starts crying.  We continue to try to talk while I am holding a kicking and screaming Jack the whole time apologizing for my 2 year old terror.  Luckily she was so sweet and said she would come visit at a better time (too bad this is how Jack usually acts so no time is a better time).  Not a good first impression.  

Good thing everyone is so nice here and everyone seems to have a lot of kids so hopefully they can sympathize a little.
