So last Friday I woke up thinking it was going to be a normal day. I began cleaning and Landon was playing downstairs...begging me to turn on the vacuum. After awhile, He decided to go play upstairs. I went to check on him and he had decided to dump an entire box of honey nut cheerios on the floor. I was trying to explain to him that he shouldn't do that and he just kept smiling at me and eating the cheerios! That was the first crazy event of the day.
Later, I went to play date. We had a great time playing in the slip 'n' slide at Julie's house. Katie had to run out to her old job for a party and asked if I would watch Hallie for an hour or two. I said that would be fine. I ventured out from Julie's to TJ Max with Hallie and Landon. They were doing pretty well...just the usual hitting each other in the face...that sort of thing. I finally had Hallie walk, so that Landon would leave her alone. She is now potty trained, so I asked her if she needed to go potty. She said, "No, no potty." I didn't argue with her. Next thing I know I look down and she has peed her pants. Katie didn't send extra clothes, so I headed to the girl section and bought her the cutest thing available (which wasn't much). I told her we would change her once we were at the car.
So once we made it to the van, I straped Landon into his seat so he couldn't cause a problem. It was pretty warm, so I decided to remote start the car, so Landon wouldn't start sweating. He sat in his seat watching Elmo while I changed Hallie outside the car. I then shut his door and headed to the other side of the van. I straped Hallie in and shut the door....and as it was shutting remembered my keys were inside!! All the doors were locked, because that is how the remote start works. I was freaking out because the car had already been running for 5 minutes and it shuts off after 10 minutes. I had no idea how I was going to get inside. I flagged someone down in the parking lot to borrow her cell phone. I tried Katie...no answer. The lady suggested that I call the Ankeny police department. I was able to get a hold of them and they told me they were sending someone. The whole time I was waiting I was trying to get Hallie to get out of her car seat and let me in...She kept saying, "No, no, no Lisa" in a very concerned tone. Landon started crying when the car turned off, and I was beginning to think I might have to break open a window. Right when I was thinking about looking around for something to break the window open the police officers showed up. They had it open in a minute!! I was relieved!! Hallie and Landon started crying, but were fine after a minute! It was a crazy day!!
