I Knew It Was Just a Matter of Time.....

And my time has run out! Today while I was doing chores and picking up the house before Adam got home, I let Baxter outside to do his business. I'm running about the house and I see through my bedroom door, a little boy who strangely enough is dressed just like Owen...jeans and an orange striped long-sleeved shirt. Oh wait a minute! THAT IS OWEN! What the freak is going on here? Then I realize what my little monkey had done. He unlocked the sliding glass door, the screen door, and then proceeded to walk outside with no shoes on, but with only his white socks on his feet.

The best part about this is as I rounded the corner from the hallway to our kitchen, I see his little sister crawling (doing the army crawl) through the doorway on her way outside in her white shirt! I don't know how, but we've got to figure out a way to get a better (read higher) lock for the slider and a better (read childproof) lock for the screen door. If any of you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Oh how scary!! That happened to me once... both C and H went out the front door. That's when we put a doorknob cover on it, but I don't know how to keep a sliding door locked. Sorry no advice here.
