We have over 100 keys floating around our house. Each glass door has 2 (1 for the door, 1 for the gate), each closet door has 1, each door has one. So it was only a matter of time before we got locked out or in.......
Each night before we go to bed we lock ourselves in our safe haven. This used to be a bit creepy, now it is normal - how bizarre! Jeff's job each morning is to disarm the alarm, unlock the safe haven and basically make enough noise to wake us all up. Sunday morning he did just that but when he reached for the safe haven key (all our our keys are stuck on the wall next the the locks so we won't lose them and don't have to carry them around) no key to be found. Turns out the safe haven key was downstairs. So now, the entire family is locked in upstairs - no food, no key. I did have one *Cadbury flake bar hidden in my bed side table but I was thinking how was I going to sneak it without anyone else noticing. We called the housekeeper who lives downstairs but she was already at church. We then went out onto the balcony and called Timothy, our gardener and woke him up. He was able to come in find the key and save the day. How funny would that phone call to Post1 (the Marines) to come unlock us.
I've included photos of the house. I tried to get Teddy to do a walking video tour but he wasn't into it. I will keep trying.
*Cadbury flake bars are incredibly yummy and so messy it almost takes all the pleasure out. A couple of days ago I made the mistake of eating one while in bed. Our bed is white - HUGE mess and no denying what I had been snacking on! If you haven't had one they are available at the candy store on Chestnut Street. But, my new favorite candy is the breakfast bar - such a funny name considering it is chocolate, peanut, caramel, wafer bar that is just delightful. The radio commercials are hilarious, very suggestive about nuts in the mouth!
