You would think after giving very specific directions (part 2), removing all of the furniture (including bed frames in part 3) and duct taping their diapers (part 4), my kids would run out of ways to get in trouble. Did I mention my kids have amazing problem solving skills? UGH!
Here my kids have stacked their mattresses and are sitting on them. In the corner of the photo you can see the closet door with the child proof lock on it. This will be important for later.
Here I opened the door to take a photo without warning. That's why sweet daughter is flying through the air onto her mattress (which isn't supposed to go by the window). This does give you a good idea of just how high the window is, which will come into play in a future Tale of 2 Beds.
This is what happened when the kids finally figured out how to open the childproof lock on the closet door. Inside the closet we had a set of cheap white shelves with blankets, extra sheets, other bedding type things on them.
Above the shelves is the bar for hanging clothes with a permanent shelf above that. I'm not tall enough to reach things on that shelf for perspective. On that shelf we were storing a couple of empty boxes, the blinds we took down from their room, and other random hardware (from their bed frames for example).
I'm guessing they climbed up the shelves to get everything else down, but I'm not sure how the shelves held the kids up. These are not sturdy shelves and were positioned so if they fell they would fall out of the closet. After this mess, which I made the kids clean up by themselves, we removed the shelves and almost everything from the closet. Now in addition to the empty room, they have an empty closet.
