Scary moment with Leif this weekend. I went downstairs a few minutes to throw out some trash and start a CD burning on my computer, thinking the kids were pretty well set playing. As I'm getting ready to come upstairs, my daughter comes running to get me, telling me Leif is doing something bad. I get there and he is worming his way out of a second story window over the driveway! Yikes. I fixed the screen and set a new rule that only the kitchen windows may be open. I think the A/C may be on a little sooner this year.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"vw: the bug that could"I love this!
I am online! In the morning! And leaving in about ten minutes for work but I suddenly *needed* to find a song online and put it on my iPod. See? Even topical...
Oh Gud, how frightening...
Off to see how Monday turns out.
After I put on a shirt.

If I only had a brain...
Gud, are your windows double-hung? For a couple of years we opened ours from the top and installed window locks to hold them in that position.

Nope. I might be able to put a nail in the sill to limit the amount a window can open. But then there isn't all that much airflow.

iTunes has failed me. I shall weep. And go to work.
Can children be embedded with special alarms that start to wail when they think about doing something dangerous? Maybe a light tranq as well. How very very scary.

What is even happening?
Oh, Gud!

In the city we have window gates for the littles. Would that look rediculous in the heartland? [link]

There was also the incident where he went to the refigerator, took out an egg, smashed against the roof of the refigerator, and then took off. Much less scary, but quite messy.

We might have to get a window gate. Although hopefully he'll out grow this stuff. Also, he can work every "childproof" device in the house, including the other gates.
