Our (almost) invasion of privacy...

Have any of you ever had your children walk in, or almost catch, you and the hubby in a 'moment of privacy'? (If you get my drift...)
Well, tonight was our night.
Football being back in season is a great time for me to offer my hubby a quick fix... it's called halftime.
When halftime comes to an evening game - it is our time too.
It's a win/win situation... and usually in that brief timeframe when all four children are asleep and I am still awake.
So, during the UF vs UM game, we disappeared for a few moments... didn't bother to turn off any lights or the TV, he'd be back before anyone knew we were gone.
EXCEPT - tonight, Olivia had a red spot, on her neck from a bandaid , that was huring her. She came calling, and ever so quietly, tapping on our bedroom door.
She didn't hear anything, I'm sure, since our volume level has to be quiet anyway with Paige sleeping only feet away.
But, she did wait in the kitchen for us to emerge.
She questioned what we were doing in there... I told her I had to go to the bathroom.
She asked why Daddy had to go in there too... I told her I had run out of toilet paper and he brought it to me.
She bought my story and went to bed - just as I was trying to think of a reason for our door to have been locked.
Thank God I did that or else I'd have been explaining much, much more!
