So, it is rather soon to be doing a second post but I had to update a little for this evenings' most recent event. At 9:00pm I usually assume both my girls are busy sawing logs as their bedtimes are 7:30pm (Ellie) and 8:00pm (Lindy). I got a call from a friend who wanted to drop something by and she showed up at the door at about 9:05pm. We chatted for a moment then I walked her outside to say goodbye. Suddenly there was a noise at the closed door behind me. I tried, in vain, to open it only to hear a small (yet surprisingly malicious) giggle from inside. I said in my stern mom-voice, "Ellie, open the door." She responded, "Oh...otay" and I heard a series of rattles and clicks with no luck at all on the now-locked deadbolt.
As we still haven't installed one of those handy-dandy remote thingy's on the outside of my garage door I was feeling a little more than slightly stuck. But I figured that since mommy was now locked out of the house at 9 o'clock at night it probably wouldn't matter if my kids stayed asleep so I decided to ring the doorbell and hope that Lindy would come to my rescue.
She did. I’m saved. I didn’t have to rely on the Lehi Police department to rescue my children from a negligent mother. Phew. (And, by the way, the two-year old is back in bed...I think.)

Something similar happened to me. My two-year old was napping so I quickly ran two houses down to give something to a friend. When I returned the front door was locked. Freaked me out!! I was able to go through the garage and be greeted with, "Mom, where are you?! I say Mommmmy...Mommmy, and you no answer!"
