Around the house roundup
Some amusing items.
First, I have a demonic child. How do I know, you ask? Lately, Sarah's been answering items with a demonic growl. When She's happy about something, demonic growl. When she doesnt want something, demonic growl.
It be cute, except of course, when its a dark room and you dont know she's there. But being my daughter, I guess its appropriate.....
Second, while it never hurts to be too careful, apparant, I taught the mrs too well. I usually lock the door, as soon as I come home, and have the Mrs do the same when she comes home, so that it becomes habit. PLus, those with small children know, you always have more than one lock, higher up so the rugrats cant get out when your not looking.
But apparantly I've done that TOO well, Because I got locked out of the house for 20-30 minutes last night. I could open the door slightly, but the chain lock was in the way. Now I tried the phone once or twice but no answer. I then started to proceed to figure ways to break into my own home(its not really hard, to be honest, if you REALLY want in, but past 11 pm at night in a neighborhood, last thing *I* need to do is start explaining to police why I'm breaking into my own home.....Eventually The mrs comes down and answers the phone and lets me it.....But I was starting to wonder what I did to get locked out.....

When you go to Naked Twister Night with Storm Troopers, you deserve to be locked out!!!
Yu forgot about with princess leia as well...
LOL
I've had to break into my house as well.
I felt like an idiot...hush Carm.
Don't feel so bad I did worse last winter. While I was doing daycare.
It was lunch time, I had two 2 year olds in my care.
I had just sat one into his booster at the table all strapped in snug and was about to put the other one in hers when she had to go potty.
So I took her to the bathroom and sat her on. I always pile the recycle garbage near my front door to take out whenever we head out etc. With her on the potty and him strapped in I figured I would do a quick dash to the garage all of 30 steps away and get it out of the hallway.
I unfortunately was also in the habit of closing the inside front door ( after all its winter keep the cold out) didn't realize the lock was turned. I tossed the stuff quickly into the garbage came back to pull open the door and boom it was locked.
yikes!!!!!
one wee one on the potty and one at the table waiting for lunch.
And extemely cold out in a T-shirt and jeans.
I ran back in to the garage we keep a phone in there, called my hubby but he was not at his desk !!
I went to back door to check on it as well as i could see the boy at the table there. He was fine , happily sitting there, I tried to pull open the sliding door couldnt. went to garage got crow bar..tried to open window in the front of my house. didnt work, called hubby again not there, was almost ready to call my work to say help!! I locked the kids in my house. When it occurred to me to try my patio door again..I remembered that the little piece at the top of the door that keeps it from being able to be lifted out of the track had broken a few months back.
So frozen and almost panicked I wiggled and lifted and was somehow able to bounce the door up enough and over the lock mechanism..I was in!!!!
I ran to the bathroom to find the little girl happily sitting there spinning toilet paper. The boy still happy at the table.
phew !!!
Lesson learned...the garbage can wait.!!!
have a good day .
Yah, I break into my parents house all the time. THey lock all the doors with double locks, so even the key I have isnt useful.
But sadly, as the old saying goes, locks only keep out the honest thieves.....
RE: WTC It was very NOT hollywoodish. In fact, the hubs and I were discussing the fact that while one of the guys is dying, he's having a (hallucinated) argument with his wife... not mooshy gooshy at all. His wife is telling him he can't die because he hasn't finished the kitchen cabinets and she's pissed. That reminded me so much of us.
How could I forget Princess Leia?!? She's burned on my brain forever now. Thanks so much for the visual. :)
And just so that you know, they're making me type in "ho bug" for my word verification. I thought it was appropriate to the topic. At least the ho part. :)
Now is the ho part because of you or something else.....*grin*
what a terrible blogging friend ive been *looks ashamed*
i cant believe i hadnt seen sarah and her dance pictures .... TOO Cute !!
I loved the line ... for her magic fixes everything *sigh* isnt that the best ?
and you wouldnt have to break in our house , no one locks a door to save our lives ... not good not good
Yes, I love her wonder of magic. Its great.....
I've been locked out twice now by my children. I'm not taking that as a personal hint. I've started hiding a key outside just incase. They become fascinated with the door once I go out, and little buttons get turned....
I'd have to break a window to get into our house. They've all been painted shut. I need to do something about that...I'd like a breeze this fall.
I thought the "ho" comment was about you. Hee hee.
