I don't want to tempt fate, but I think the husband and I are after pulling the heist of the century.

Did we rob a bank? No! Did we convince a bank to give us money in the form of a home-improvement loan? Again, no! This was a heist to beat all heists: we hoodwinked our four-year-old into sleeping in his own room.
