All before breakfast

The day started with the funniest adventure. We all ended up in Luke's room to say good morning to him when I was getting him up this morning. Everyone just trickled in and it was a beautiful spring Saturday morning. And before I could stop what I saw happening, Seth had closed the bedroom door with all of us inside.

The only reason that would be bad (other than the growing smell of Luke's diaper) is that I had recently discovered (and that's another story,) that Luke's doorknob won't open from the inside. The knob just turns around and around, and won't open. So there we all were - all 5 of us - stuck inside Luke's second story room with no way out. It struck me as incredibly funny, and Seth, a little worried at our predicament and nervous that he had inadvertently been the cause, finally asked in desperation why I was laughing. It was just a beautifully funny and silly thing - that all of us had casually managed to get stuck in a little room (with a stinky diaper, and no breakfast) and no one else in the house to let us out.

How completely convenient that John coincidentally had already put his iphone in his pocket, or else we would have had to yell across the street to the Olsons (I could hear someone out playing basketball) to come free us. So after trying for a bit to slide something through the crack to open the door but to no avail, we called and Joanna (whom I had to convince that I was really serious,) came over to let us all out. Another coincidental thing: normally we lock the doors at night, so I thought that both doors would be locked and I wasn't sure how anyone would be able to get in, but fortunately (?) we had completely forgotten to lock up last night, so she didn't have to find some obscure, creative way into our house, which would have greatly added to the adventure.

All in all, it was a great way to start the day - with a good hearty laugh. :)
