Excitement..

Things are getting pretty exciting around here as the weekend is approaching.. Friday will be a busy day as the kids and I venture into the city to protest.

So after reading to the kids (we're currently re-reading Andy Griffiths tree-house series again) and tucking them in we all went to sleep. At around 11pm I woke up and saw that the hallway door was shut...
