A Close Call (and heads up to you other mothers)

I brought the kids home from picking up Greyson from school, put the dogs outside and realized I had left Greyson's backpack in the car so went into the garage to get it and heard the door slam, the door lock and hysterical giggles from inside the house. I banged on the door for a couple minutes but to no avail as my children thought it was hysterical that they had locked me out. Thankfully I had let the dogs out earlier and so the back door was unlocked so I got into the house that way. Had I not let the dogs out I would have been at the mercy of my children; cold and trapped in the garage. I have a feeling we are going to Home Depot tomorrow and getting a hide-a-key for the outside.
