"Get-away" trick

It really isn't a trick, I'm sure you all do it. This morning, I locked myself away from my children so I could make an important phonecall. Sometimes, a person just needs a respite so she can properly communicate with another adult :-).

I told the girls I needed to make a phonecall and that they couldn't bother me. They had been playing together, happily, and I wasn't worried for their safety - their hunger maybe, but not their safety.

They started knocking on the door for about 30 seconds and then were sidetracked. This is what I saw when I walked out towards my bedroom door. Can you tell? Those are little matchbox cars, my first thought was that they were 'patrol' cars out to get someone.

Well, then I opened the door and I think those patrol cars had barricaded me in my room! Funny little girls and their funny little imaginations. All day long, I found cars in my bedroom, under my bed, by the bookcase. They had so much fun shooting those cars under the door.


She had also changed into her swimming suit (bottom part).
