It was a beautiful autumn day, lovely and sunny, so I went out of the front door without my jacket to pick the boys up, pulled the door shut and oops! Keys for the house are in my jacket pocket, which of course is in doors. No time to worry about it now, have to be at Kindergarden on time. A friend in the village has a spare key, but it is school holidays here now, so she just might be away for the week. I went round to see, no luck there. So back home I decided - after checking all doors - for once I had remembered to close them all, bother, so I popped to my neighbour to ask to make a phone call, and let Mum and Dad know we were coming to them (they have a spare key too!) My neighbour being the angel he is, said lets see if we can't break in. Well no more details here, but yep, he was a pretty good burglar cause we got in.
Well, all was good then, or so I thought, we had lunch, Richard had a late and not so long snooze, then we were ready to go in the garden. Robert went upstairs to get his shoes, Richard followed, I stayed downstairs, BIG mistake - BIGGGGGG MISTAKE!
the next thing I know I hear a very faint - Mummy, help, Mummy help me! Mmh, what was that all about. I go up find Robert ask where Richard is, he points to my bedroom, uhoh door was shut, mmmh, well turns out Richard had locked himself in there. Its not a normal door, however but a 100 year old door with a bolt. and he had managed to lock it using the bolt, and it is a bit stiff and he couldn't pull it back!
After a LOT of coaxing and a LOT of tears (only Richard at this time), I got him to go in our ensuite bathroom where I after climbing out of the window and on to the roof of our utility room could see him and calm him down some. I tried to get him to open the window but he wasn't tall enough. To cut a long story short I had to leave him, go and beg my neighbour to help me again, and we together broke in to Richard this time and "saved" the poor but naughty thing! I don't think he will do it again, but to be on the safe side, we will have to either oil the bolt or try and get it off the door!
To cheer us all up again i took the boys out to the front of the house for a ride on their bikes. We have a rule that they may only go one way from where I stand or sit (I usually open the boot (trunk) of our car and sit in it), well Robert today decided that that rule didn't apply to him, I warned him 4 times, telling him on the last time that if he did it again, we would be going in, why he didn't believe me, I don't know, he did it again, and we went in - did you hear him scream!? It was loud enough to travel to whereever you read this. And it went on and on and on! Eventually he calmed himself down and apologised, and I made sure that he understood just WHY we were back indoors.
what a day! Between the two locking incidents I made this layout, therapeutic scrapping I would say! And also making sure that this story stays with us through the generations!
