Destruction




















Yes, that is our bedroom door and yes there is a big hole in it.  

Yesterday after running all my errands and picking the kids up from school I decided to sit on the couch downstairs and finish the last 20 pages of my book,  The Host. BAD IDEA!  After about ten minutes there was no noise upstairs so I asked Parker and Kate where Maggie was. (on Tuesday she was very quiet as well and when I found her she was smearing lotion all over the couch) Anyway, the kids looked around and couldn't find her. Parker kept looking and realized that she had locked herself and the dog in our bedroom. 

The biggest problem with that was that the key to the door was locked in the bedroom with her. I know dumb place for the key, but we weren't planning on anyone other than Matt or I locking the door.  So I called Matt, who was in Dallas on business, and he doesn't know where there is another key. I try to pick the lock with a bobbi pin and I also used a credit card to try and open it. Obviously neither worked.  After about twenty minutes Maggie started to cry and the dog was barking so I went and got the sledge hammer. It worked perfectly.   

Matt now has another project to work on.

A sledge hammer is a great idea! When Nick locked himself in his bedroom Jason left him in there for around two hours then kicked in the door which ripped the jamb in half. Luckily Nick was out of the way.

You have some great sledge hammer skills! This wasn't your first job was it?

That is hilarious.

Thanks for sharing. I immediately went and made sure our bedroom keys were not inside the rooms.
