What do you do when you find yourself standing outside of your home with the door locked and your 2 year old standing on the other side of the door laughing at you? I had the "wonderful" opportunity of pondering this question while I was standing outside this morning!
I had walked out to put a trash bag outside and as soon as I walked out Ellie shut the door and locked it! I looked inside and she was standing there laughing hysterically. She thought it was the funniest thing that her mama couldn't come inside and get her. She then ran to another room where I couldn't see her but could still hear her laughing! After about 5 minutes of knocking, Ava finally came over and started knocking back. She tried to open the door for me but she's not tall enough. :( Ellie finally came back over, still laughing, laid on the floor and covered her eyes... Like I couldn't see her or something. She got up and opened the door then ran to her room. The whole time I'm trying to be tough and not laugh but it was nearly impossible. While I was standing there thinking "I need to get back in", I'm also thinking, "I can't believe my child just locked me out and is laughing about it!"
The best part is... I was on the phone with my dad at the time all of this was happening and all he could do was laugh! I called Thad to tell him about it and I got the same response from him! So I figured if they found it so funny you all would as well. Sorry there are no pictures but I'm sure you can imagine little bouncy Ellie doing this.

Sounds like she's definitely a "Parker". I'm sure this story will be passed down from generation to generation. The kind that gets told at every family reunion. Hope your move goes smoothly. Let us know of you need anything.

The question is...Where will you now hide your spare key outside your home?
this is hilarious now...I am sure it was not for you at the time. At least you were not cooking anything at the moment.
That is so cute of Ava trying to unlock the door and then knocking back.....
At least Ellie opened the door....
You are going to have some great stories to share with them as they get older:-) love, a
