When we first moved in to our house we decided it would be wise to turn the door knob on the girl's bedroom around so the lock was on the outside. This was so they wouldn't lock themselves in their room and/or lock us out without knowing how to unlock the door. Since then all 3 of our older children have learned to lock and unlock the doors. We normally keep a key and/or a bobby pin on the inside of the room on the door frame, just in case one of us parents get locked in the room.
Well, such an occurrence happened today. I was trying to get the girl's room cleaned. I wasn't paying much attention to the small beings around me as I was focused and wanted to get the chore done. I went to go get a trash bag from the kitchen and lo and behold...the door was locked. I felt above the door frame...no key...no bobby pin. After I email dear husband to let him know I was about to MacGyver my way out I searched the room for a bobby pin or anything I could use to pick the lock. I pulled out everything from underneath both beds and finally I found a bobby pin. We were free!
But...now the girl's room is still a mess because Gordie ended up in our room where Petey still sleeps...who happened to be sleeping at that moment until Gordie climbed in the bassinet and snuggled with him. So guess who was up and hungry. The 5 of us make it downstairs so I can feed Peter in a confined area but Gordie has learned to move the baby gate.
So, instead of having the girl's room cleaned we got the basement cleaned. Then, as soon as I sit down for a minute, Nella decides to lay on top of Petey, who is doing floor time, and then proceeds to roll him over to his belly. Guess who is crying now because he keeps tooting and doesn't prefer his belly right now.
Andy's interpretation of this situations mentioned above? Oh the Adventures of Mommyhood.
At least he gets it.
I am fearful of what these two will do once Peter is walking.
The joyous outcome from this morning's events? The 3 older tykes are playing with each other...nicely.
Can I get a high five? Anyone?
Amie's verse this week in Cubbies:
Psalm 139:14
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Wonderful are your works,
And my soul knows it very well.
I find it very appropriate for today as my children are wonderful examples of God's wonderful works and we know it very well and are thankful every day! They drive us crazy and we are over do for some time alone but we love our children and so happy God has given us this chance to be parents.
