Locked out

Today we had a nice slow morning. Wes slept in and Ella watched cartoons while I got things done. Once everyone was up and dressed and fed for the day, we needed to go out and get some groceries and a few more things for the bathroom. I got the kids ready, diaper bag, grocery list, movie to return, shoes for everyone, don't let the cat escape, grab the phone and out the door. I get to the car and start putting the kids in their seats. That is when I realize that I don't have my keys...
The following is a dramatic reenactment of our adventure...

Doh! I forgot the keys and I think I locked the door!!!

Maybe I forgot to lock it, I hope I hope I hope!
Nope... definitely locked.

Ah, but the kids are always unlocking the backdoor, maybe I didn't lock it!
So I traipse through the mud around the other houses to get into the back yard only to find that I did indeed remember to lock the back door.

But wait! The Kitchen window is slightly open to catch a breeze.

I am definitely not going to fit through there... hmmmmmm

I went back through the mud to the car and fetched my Wonderpet Ella. Leaving Wesley safely buckled in his car seat Ella and I returned to the back of the house. I told Ella she needed to save us and climb in the window. With a little help from Mommy she made it.


Now just slide off the counter with out hurting herself

and Voila! the day is saved!


Now remember folks, don't leave the house without your keys!


So then we finally made it out to do our chores and I let the kids have a 50% off easter candy. They got cookie lollipops. I think they liked them.
