Things that I DON"T recommend...

I DO NOT recommend locking yourself out of the house...
Especially when it has been snowing NON STOP
all day.
I also DO NOT recommend not having your car keys...
so that not only can you NOT get in the house...
but you also can't start the car...
and go to Walmart for the shampoo
your toddlers dumped into the tub the night before...
and you also can't pick your husband up from work...

What you CAN do, 
is sit in the car with a cold little boy, 
and a SCREAMING one year old
who really can't understand why 
we are all sitting in the cold car 
instead of the nice warm house...
(Thank God I hadn't locked the car) 

You can also tromp around the backyard
in knee deep snow to see if you forgot to lock the back door..
(Which of course being a conscientious person...
it was locked...)
Couldn't I have forgotten just once to  double check the doors?

Lucky for me...
 I DID have my cell phone..
so my wonderful hubby was able to get a ride home, 
and let me and two little popsicles into the house...

I would rather NOT repeat the last couple of hours... 

After we got in the house, and wrapped up the kids 
in a nice warmy (that's what my son calls it)
blanky...
I STILL had to go to the store, and get what I needed...

While I was gone, my hubby caught the kids on the couch...
with a bag of cheerios...
and didn't have the heart to say anything...



even though they aren't allowed to eat in the living room...







Notice the shared wealth my son
left on sisters blanky...
