this has a key

oh so

um did you know harley was awake all

night

no yeah

what was she doing

she

went into alex's room

because she was too scared to come to

because of the red light on the security

camera

in the

hallway

so she went into alex's room crying

crawling in bed with him next thing you

know they're about down on the couch

asleep

watching bluey

so alex probably did not sleep last

night and i feel so bad oh that's why he

said i'm gonna sleep all day yeah he was

up all night with harley i know

so this is normally our like produce

overflow fridge

however it's also stocked

with eggs

because bodie used to climb in them when

he was a toddler

and that's not very safe anyways the new

fridges don't have them because we don't

use them anymore
