Well, it is fitting that for the majority of this morning, Hadley was going around with her set of keys locking and unlocking all the doors. Mid-morning we decided to go outside and draw with the sidewalk chalk. After a little while, we were going to go inside for Hadley to get shoes on and figured out that our screen door had locked behind us. It has done this a few times, but Eric can usually jerk it open after a couple tries. Well, I had not brought my phone outside, and I also did not have on shoes. So, we just had to make the most of it and play outside for a while. (over an hour.) We did not bring any toys with us, so we had to be creative. We took turns with the girls in the swing, and by the end of it, I was working up a good sweat. And then Hadley had an accident, but to her credit, there really was nowhere for her to go except in her shorts. Shortly after this, the tantrums started. I threatened to take everything short of her life if she did not cooperate with me, and eventually she complied.

When Eric finally got home he opened the door with minimal effort. I was slightly irritated.

After eating lunch everyone settled in for naps, including me. We all woke up a couple hours later and decided to take it easy for the afternoon. Eric had come home from work not feeling well, so I allowed Hadley to put in Cinderella and cuddle with him quietly on the couch.

After supper Eric and Gerry took the girls to get Ice Cream. Hadley and Zoey had a really good time with the guys.
