First-a little background info-when we switched Alex from his crib to his big boy bed, he kept escaping from him room. So we decided to put a lock on his door, well basically just reversed the door knob so that you can lock it from the outside. It has worked really great, he doesn't even try to open the door, and I feel better knowing he can't wander throughout the house while we sleep!!
So now to today. My poor Logan has been sick all week and finally after taking him to the doctor today, he was diagnosed with walking pneumonia. He is fine, just coughing alot and not getting much sleep. So when we got back from the doctors, he took his medicine and went up to his room to sleep. Meanwhile Alex was napping and I was working. When I heard Alex wake up from his nap, I went up to get him. I opened the door, not switching the lock, and I had the windows open when a big gust of wind came and shut the door behind me, locking us in!!!! Of course-no big deal I thought, I made sure I had a key in his room in case of this exact situation. Oh no-but low and behold-the key wasn't there. Then I remembered that a few weeks ago, Logan locked himself in and found the key to open the door, but never put it back. So here I was with Alex stuck in his room. I started banging on the walls to try to wake up Logan---no such luck. Alex even tried-sounding so cute-shouting "Go-Gan(Logan) open da door!!"" I tried everything-blasting music on the radio, jimmy-ing the lock, even taking off the hinges, but nothing. I even thought about climbing out the window, but we were on the second floor, and knowing Alex, he would follow me right out. I looked at the time and it was 4:30, Justin gets off at 5:00, so I was hoping he would come right home. In the meantime, Alex and I got to spend some quality time together, without interruptions. So after AN HOUR!!! I finally got Logan to wake up and he let us out!! Needless to say, I put the key and the spare in the room, where Logan couldn't get it.
Oh its always an adventure at the Murdy house!!

This was taken just before I went to get Alex-notice the bucket-he was coughing so much he would throw up!! Poor thing!!
