Postman to the rescue!


You're looking at the door to the kids' room with the doorknob removed. We took it off in order to get Logan out when he was locked in by Mason. A few days later (when the doorknob hadn't been properly replaced) Mason and Logan were playing peek-a-boo with the door and Mason slammed it closed, leaving Logan on the outside and me and Mason inside the room. Without the doorknob on there was no way to get out! After many MacGyver attempts to get out (using hangers, etc.), Mason and I said a prayer and after saying Amen I thought to look out the window. I saw the postman walking by on the sidewalk below so I yelled out to him. He looked up and I explained the situation to him. Our door was locked so he couldn't get in, but I told him where the spare was and he came inside, found the doorknob and put it back on so we could get out!
The next day, our car key broke and fell off the keychain without me knowing, so when I left to go pickup Eric from school (the truck was in the shop) I couldn't find the car key. Mason and I said another prayer and when we were done Mason said, "I'll go see if I can find the postman to help us again. Heavenly Father sent him to help us last time!" We did find the key a few seconds later, without the postmans help! Thank goodness for prayer!

That was the best story ever! I can just seeing you yelling out that window. Can Mason be any cuter??
