Smart Moves

Both Joe and I should be proud of our intellectual genius moves yesterday. We were at my parents' house to celebrate Paige's first birthday (pictures to come later). Joe had to work during the day, so he met Jake and I there afterwards. He called to tell me he was at our house, to shower and change, but he couldn't get into the house. See, Joe lost his set of keys. He had work keys and house keys on that key chain. We are not sure where they are. Joe had used our spare key, which we hide outside, the day before. But, he forgot to "hide" it again. So, Joe had to come in his work clothes to the party. After we had cake and watched Hailey swim in the 70 degree cold pool, Joe and Jake were going to head home. I was planning on hanging out by the bonfire (bomfire as Hailey calls it). About 20 minutes after my boys left, Joe called my cellphone to let me know he couldn't get into the house. He did not take a key or garage opener from me. Side note...we only have 1 garage opener. Joe blames my sister for losing it when were on our honeymoon. Jamie and I blame Joe. As I saw his number show up on my phone, I knew exactly why he was calling. At the same time, my brother Mike and Nikki were heading home and could easily drop off a house key for Joe. I went to go look for my car keys to take the house key off. Ah...no car keys. They were in the diaper bag that Joe left with!! My mom and I were laughing so hard by this point. I called Joe back to let him know that he could get into the house with my keys. Fortunately, my parents have an extra car at home and I was able to borrow it for the night and returned it the next morning.

We are on a mission to find Joe's keys. We have two different sets of key hooks in our house. You'd think his keys would have a nice home there. Apparently, not!
