Neighbor to the rescuuueeee!!!!!

So Thursday turned into an interesting afternoon. I had just returned home with a car load of groceries. I was unloading them and Annabelle went inside to play. As I am trying to open the garage door to the house, while carrying two heavy bags, I realize that the door is now locked.

Ohhh, what am I gonna do now???? I check the van to see if my keys are still in there, and they weren't. I start yelling through the door to try and get Annabelle to unlock the door. And she just keeps saying "What Mommy???" and turns the door knob. So as I keep repeating myself, the van alarm starts going off because she thought that pushing those keys would unlock the back door. Now it is too loud to even try and get her to hear me.

I start freaking out a little, but completely remain in control. I just knew there were no back up keys anywhere! I saw that my neighbor was home, so I ran over and banged on the door. He came over and said he would jump the fence, but that was if we could get Annabelle to unlock the back door. Finally the van alarm stops going off, and I am able to start talking to her again. I coax her to go unlock the back door to let the neighbor in. And, she does!!!!

Yayy!!!! I was able to get in within about 10 minutes. So what is the lesson for the day??? Always keep a house key in the garage!
