What's Next?

Last night as I was cooking dinner Colin went out back to play and soon after Trevor followed him. Not long after he went out Trevor came back in and said very calmly, "Mom, we have an emergency." I followed him out and this is what I saw...



Colin was stuck in the gate. A while back we put a lock on the gate because Colin figured if he stood on his bike he could reach the latch and get the gate open. He then figured out the combination to the lock (never use 0000 - kids can guess that too easily) so we changed that and thought we had finally stopped Colin from trying to get out front. He is one determined boy and I guess this time he thought he had a good plan....until his head would not fit through. I must admit I started laughing when I saw him. It was funny to me. I called Dave and told him what happened and he told me to try and get his body back through (I was not thinking and for the life of me could not figure out what to do) so we eventually got him out. When I asked him what in the world he was doing he said he wanted to get out so he could give Dad a kiss. I guess since I was making dinner he knew Dad would be home soon. I told him the next time he wanted to go our front he needed to tell Mom or Dad first and then use the front door. As we walked back into to the house, our sweet Trevor said, "Mom, I knew he would get unstuck because I said a prayer." I just keep wondering what Colin is going to do next.

Oh my goodness! That picture is hilarious. However, it does look like it hurts. How did you get him out?

I think we all have to have at least one child who pushes every boundary. Isn't all of his troublemaking supposed to be a sign of his intelligence?

That is a funny picture.

That is so dang funny! When I was little I did that at McDonalds! That is cute that Trevor said a prayer for his brother:)

HAAA!!! Just a moment, I have to get the tears out of my eyes before I even begin to comment. He is tooo funny. My favorite thing is that you were calm enough to stop and think to take a picture. BRILLIANT!!!!

I did that when I was a kid with our staircase banister. It's scary. I would've had a hard time remaining calm enought to take a picture. I'm not good in those situations. It is a cute picture and a cute story.

I love that both our middle children are the crazy, dare devil, fearless children!

Oh no! I can't believe he sqeezed through there! That is so cute that Trevor was so calm and that he said a prayer. Your boys are so cute, even when they're stuck in a gate. :)
