Don't Push the Panic Button



Aaron and Candice went out of town for a few days. I am watching the kids for Wednesday and Thursday this week. The girls got off to school okay and I was going to take the boys for a ride to get out of the house.

Parker and Joel were in the car waiting for me to take them for a ride. Then, just as I was going to put something in the back of the car, I heard a familiar click that sounded like the car locked the doors.

Sure enough. Joel was playing in the driver's seat and the keys to the car were on the console. I tried to show him where to open the locked door or even lift the door lock that opens all the doors. NO such luck! Parker could not help since he was locked in his car seat. He is unable to unlock himself out of his seat belt either without help.

I talked to Joel a few minutes, which seemed longer than it was. Joel had a long orange plastic stake in his hands. Coaxing Joel to give the stake to Parker was not the easiest thing to do. Parker could reach the door lock near his back seat to unlock it, if the stake was easy. He managed to open the locked door with the stake.

It worked! The car door slides open, but when the door unlocked, the buzzer to the door alarm went off. I tried to push the red "panic" button, but that would not work. So then, I pressed the unlock button on the car keys that were inside the car. The loud buzzing sound stopped immediately and off we went to Aunt Tracie's!

The boys had fun swimming. They then went to stay at their Aunt Tiffiny's in Lehi. They had a sleep-over and their parents came home on Saturday evening. Grandma went to pick them up. Parker fell asleep on the way home. He was zonked!!
