Never a dull Monday

I thought little girls did not lock themselves in the bathroom until at least the age of 10! Boy was I wrong. Well, sorta! As I was getting ready for work yesterday I was running around the house as usual. Sometimes Grace will follow, sometimes not. This time she did not. She closed the door to the bathroom, opened the bottom drawer and boom, she had wedged herself in! I tried my best to get my hand through a 1in. crack but it just did not work. So, calmly I tried to persuade her to close the drawer - somehow I knew a 9 month old would not listen. Finally, I called Steven for reinforcement. Good thing he works like 2 miles away. He came home and was able to stick the handle end of a golf club through the door and close the drawer. When he went to put the child safetly lock things on last night he said they are solid oak and he can't use just manpower - he needs his drill. Hope he gets it done before next Monday - I can't imagine what trouble she could get into if I forgot to close the bathroom door!

Trip to the Zoo

Steven and I decided to take the girls to the NC Zoo this weekend. Kayla is our future zoo keeper, vet, or something - she LOVES animals. Grace is our little curious George. She kept quiet most of the day but was sure to take everything in. The polar bear loved the attention and played ball through the glass with everyone. It was quite cute. I recommend a visit to this zoo anytime. We stayed the night before so we could get there early, took our lunch, and worked great!!
