I had planned to update today with wonderful family reunion recap things but instead this happened:
I was just locked out of my house, ok wait I was actually just let back into my house by a wonderful man from Star Lock and Key who left the job he was on to come open my door when he heard that Chance was still inside. That's right we got home from a playdate and he had fallen asleep in the car so I carried him in and put him in his bed. Then because I was hungry I took my keys, walked out the front door, locked it and went around the house to the backdoor. I usually hang my keys on my belt loop but because Chance was asleep and my walking around the kitchen was making noise I took them off and hung them by the door. I made my lunch then went back outside shutting the door behind me and walked around to the front of the house. It was only then that I realized I didn't have my keys to get in and only when I walked through the gate and saw the back door did I fully comprehend what I had just done.
Even though I knew he couldn't help me the first person I called was Scott to bounce ideas off of him, then when I noticed that one of our neighbors was home I asked him if he knew a good locksmith. He recommended Star Lock and Key so I called, they told me they would try to get here earlier but the soonest they could promise was 4 hours. Well, that is too long, Chance naps between 1 and 2 hours in the afternoon so I was looking at a 2 hour maximum and counting. So I went back over to borrow a screwdriver from the same neighbor, pulled a ladder out form under the house and started unscrewing the bars from the kitchen window since that is the one most likely to me unlocked. I was working on the fourth and final screw when my phone rang. It was the locksmith. In about 2 minutes he had the front door unlocked. It cost $81.75 which we had no intention of spending on a locksmith but I am so grateful that he came so fast. Chance is still sleeping and of course has no idea. I am just happy that I got back in one way or the other before he woke up and got scared.
If you need a locksmith you want Star Lock and Key!!!!!

Glad everything worked out for you. I know exactly how scary that feeling is of locking yourself out. Though I didn't have Tyler locked in too. Thank God for that and thank God for locksmiths. They are expensive, but necessary! LOL
That's quite the story!! I have locked myself out of my house a good 2-3 times but never with the kids inside. Of course my kids could open the door if I needed them too because they are bigger. I have only used a locksmith once and it was pricey, the other times I just sat outside and waited for Peter.
