Lock 'em up!

Logan and Wade are escape artists. We bought and moved into my parents' house 2 weeks before Camden was born. He couldn't have been more than 2 weeks old when this happened. Our house on the campgrounds was empty and Jason was heading down to show the house to a possible tenant. I had to nurse Camden - so we put Logan and Wade into their bedroom and told them it was quiet time. No big deal right?!? I mean - the vent story hadn't happened yet - so what would we be worried about?!? Riiiiiiiight.

The boys were in their room...and I decided to lay down on the couch while nursing Camden. I could see the road from where I was laying - but nothing else. Jason leaves....I watch him drive in the direction of the campgrounds. The boys were pretty quiet - which of course was the plan. It was "Quiet Time" right?!? Then I saw Jason driving back here. Hmmm.....must've forgotten something. Next thing I know - Jason's walking across the front yard. What in the world?? He walks back towards the garage.....w/ Logan and Wade tucked under each arm.

WHAT IN THE WORLD!?!?!?

Apparently - Jason forgot the key to the house on the campground. Praise the Lord - because when he was driving back to the house - he saw Logan and Wade in t-shirts and draws running around in circles on the front lawn with their arms rasied as if doing a "we're free" dance! Did I mention we have a large pond in our front yard?!?

Needless to say - we had to put screws in the tracks of the windows to ensure they couldn't open them far enough to get out. Fire hazard - possibly....but we had the top part of the windows were able to come down so we were okay with that. We can always break a window right?!?
Better than them falling in the pond! ;)
