I’ve probably told this story before, but it’s one of those memorable things. At about 2 in the morning a few years back, I was awoken by screams from upstairs followed by the fastest footsteps coming down the stairs. There was a bat in the boys’ room. No idea where it came from. And then just like that, as we were deliberating our options, it disappeared. We still have no idea where it went. Thankfully, there will only be screams of joy making this bat craft.
