Locked out

This morning I was in the backyard doing some yard work. Hayden was hanging out with Roxi our dog by the back door. I was keeping my eye on Hayden because he is the one person in our family who will let Roxi in the house and Roxi knows it. From one glance to the next they both vanished into the house. I kicked off my flip flops and made a mad dash to the door. (Roxi is an outside dog and so of course she is by no means clean. She loves to run in the sprinklers and of course the grass so her feet are generally muddy and she is full of dirt.) As I reached for the door to go charging in, yep...the door was locked. Here I stood staring at Hayden and Roxi from the outside in. I told Hayden to open the door but instead he jumped up and down cheering and laughing! As I desperately tried to persuade Hayden to open the door I began to have visions of Roxi getting the whole house dirty and possibly destroying something in the process. Needless to say Hayden was not going to budge, he found the whole thing very amusing. I ran as quickly as I could around the house to the garage where we have a keypad to open the garages. I got in and Roxi (even though I don't like dogs, I have to admit she is really good) was still sitting right by the door waiting for someone to let her out. Hayden of course got a time out and talking to. I do believe that I've never been locked out by any of my other children, so leave it to the last one to make sure I got that experience!!
