The girls REALLY want to stay home when school is out but I still have to work. However, neither can resist the urge to interrupt me when I’m with a client, which of course is unacceptable. So behold, the door lock that they can’t pick open with a butter knife. ❤️ it’s worked for several weeks now.

iPhone memories popped this one in my screen & my first thought was “look at all those other children sitting calmly in their parent’s lap while my kids are off the hook rolling around in the middle of the circle.” I did not get normal kids, and that’s ok.
