The funniest part of the moving experience with her was when we arrived to the new house. She had already seen pictures and was talking about how much she absolutely LOVED it and once we got here her opinion did not change at all. She claimed the guest bed and bathroom as hers and decorated the bathroom for me. The most hilarious thing she discovered that day was what she called her escape route from upstairs. The living room in this house has a loft area upstairs outside of the master bedroom that will eventually be my full time office when I get a desk. There is a railing that looks down in to the living room and kitchen. While we were up there she said, “Aunt Ashley, I figured out a way for you to sneak out from up here if you ever need to!” Basically, this involved climbing over the railing and walking along the wall upstairs then jumping from the wall to the top of the kitchen cabinets. Once there, you simply walk across the cabinets and climb out the window. Your feet never need to touch the ground! Why I would need this escape route, I did not understand but Max later decided it was in case the stairs were ever on fire. Good job, Sarah!
Next up in the funny family stories is my wonderful mother. I was telling her that I want to go shopping during the day when work isn’t too busy but I’m afraid to get a phone call from a client and it be too loud where I am at the time. She solved this problem right away. I simply need to carry around a large paper bag with me. If someone calls I put the paper bag over my head and tada, the outside noise instantly becomes a less obvious. Genius really…but what would the people at Target think of a person standing with a paper bag on their head? Unfortunately, she did not have an answer for that. ;)
Here are a few pictures of Sarah's escape route and of our house. These are the only two rooms that have furniture and not tons of boxes filling them so until we fix that, this is all you can see.
