(upbeat electronic music)
- [Isaiah] You ready?
Okay, say "bye house".
Tired and I don't know why, weird.
- So, so many people have commented
and asked about the house
so I will leave the link
down below and I'm gonna
let the people know,
they don't know anything about this
so I'm gonna let them know.
So, hey, if you have an increase...
(laughing)
This is why.
- [Summer] Bye, Homo Sassa house.
- [Priscilla] Homo Sassa house!
Holy cow it's cold!
- So Ab was up at, was
it four o' clock, Summer?
- [Summer] Yeah.
- Four o' clock.
So Summer brought her in
and she hung out with us
and she wouldn't fall asleep
for two and half hours.
So she's a little tired,
we're a little tired.
I am thankful, we had two
perfect nights of sleep.
She woke up at eight
thirty, so it was nice.
Nice little vacation.
(car rumbles)
Sweet girl, passed out.
- My turn!
(chuckling)
- [Asa] Home, we're home, yay!
- Who you waving at?
(chuckling)
She woke up and her hand was asleep.
She kept looking at it.
- [Asa] It was sitting in
her lap, and she's like
(chuckling)
- She kept looking, like
"what is wrong with my hand?"
- And she kept laughing like...
(laughing)
Like "oh god, what is happening".
- [Asa] Like a nervous laugh!
Are you happy to see us?
Is Grandpa so boring?
Did you miss us so much?
- [Priscilla] Come
here, Robert, come here!
- [Summer] Oh my goodness.
- [Priscilla] He was so excited, huh?
- [Asa] Where's your friend, at?
- [Priscilla] She's right here.
- [Asa] Oh, there she is.
- [Summer] You gonna check
out what they're doing?
- [Asa] Sweet girl.
(laughing)
Struggle bus.
This is the mood, this
is a mood right now.
- I'm gonna be an artist.
- [Asa] You're gonna hydro-dip?
- Yeah I'm gonna hydro-dip my dunkin' cup.
I'm wanna put the paint, over the dunkin,
over the word dunkin'.
I want it to say dunkin' so
it leaves that metal coating.
- [Asa] Gonna put tape over it?
- Put tape over it and then
hydro-dip the rest of it
and add blue, or add orange and pink.
- [Asa] Yeah.
- Make it a dunkin' cup.
Mom was like, "I could
just order you a cup",
I'm like "yeah but that's not awesome".
So I wanna do it.
- [Asa] Okay.
- I saw this guy, Marco on
YouTube do it, so I wanna do it.
- [Asa] This is the post-vacation
mood, we're rocking.
How you doing Ab?
- [Isaiah] She looks angry but she's fine.
- [Asa] Good?
Sleepy?
This was a good idea, babe.
- [Priscilla] It was Summer's idea...
- [Asa] Oh, Yeah?
- Well she said "we could for a walk
but it's really cold outside."
- Yeah, I said "you know
what, you can probably walk"
but I don't think you have that much...
- [Priscilla] I was
like, "no, we can do it!"
- [Asa] Yeah.
- [Priscilla] She was like, "okay".
- I was enjoying it too.
- It's nice though after being
in the car for a few hours.
- [Priscilla] Yeah.
- Nice.
- [Priscilla] And Maverick is loving it.
He's so...
- I know, calm down Maverick.
- [Isaiah] I love exercise, it's so fun.
Go mom, go!
(giggling)
- [Asa] Little afternoon family walk.
What do you think, Ab?
Good idea?
Are you having fun?
You don't look like it.
She didn't really wanna go.
- No.
- [Asa] But she didn't
really wanna stay either.
- No, she'll be okay.
- [Asa] Did you smile?
Oh we caught you smiling!
(laughing)
(upbeat pop music)
- [Asa] Maverick, stop.
Get the leash, Ab.
Good job.
We can't let him go, 'cause we want him.
Welcome to our bathroom.
So I had to solve a problem,
especially with Summer living here now.
I already put one of these in downstairs.
But when it's just
Priscilla, Isaiah and I,
it's not as big of a deal,
unless we had people over
and then it is but Abigail will often just
open a bathroom door to
see what you're up to.
We don't have locks on these.
I didn't want to replace the locks
'cause they're old school, you know,
original hardware for the doors
and they make replacements but
that would be super expensive
to go through and do all that.
So I got these locks, look
real familiar, from our hotel.
You just put it like that and
it keeps the door from opening
and it's obviously overkill.
This is a security thing, to
keep would-be assailants out
but the reason why I went with heavy duty
is because Abigail will come through
with a certain amount of
force and the little hooks,
we were just talking about doing eyelets
where you thread it in with a hook,
you know, that goes down into it.
But she'll rip those out of the doorframe.
So this, if she comes
through, she just gets excited
and she'll try to plow through the door.
So at least this way it
won't destroy anything.
I think I'm gonna put a
little rubber pad right here,
which might be a good idea,
just so it doesn't smack as hard
but also we want it up high enough so that
she can't reach them and
clock herself in anywhere
'cause then I'll have
to take the door down
with my shoulder and that's
never fun for anybody.
The only disadvantage
is someone were to fall
or something like that,
you'd have to pretty much
kick the door in to get in
but Abigail breaking in on you
while you're using the bathroom
is an everyday occurrence.
Something bad happening is a
not so frequent occurrence.
I didn't grab a drill bit
so I'm gonna use a screw
as a drill bit.
I'll link these down below.
There's also a child safe
version that once you lock it,
it locks in to the door
the other way, this way.
So it goes like that
and hold the door shut.
But it's got, you have to
pull it and pull it out
so that even, you'd have
to be a pretty strong kid,
and tall and super smart
to get that unlocked.
So it's a real nice child safety version
if you're looking for one of those.
But I wanted something
just practical and quick
when you're in the bathroom.
So I put one downstairs already.
(drill whirring)
The biggest reason I'm
putting one upstairs
is so Priscilla can take
a shower by herself.
She hasn't been able to sneak
upstairs to take a shower
or else Abbie's right behind her,
wanting to jump in with
her, which normally is fine
if we're going somewhere but sometimes
you just wanna take a shower
by yourself, you know?
I'm sure your mums can relate to that.
(drill whirring)
Best way to keep from cracking
the wood is to drill out
or you can work the
screw in and out slowly.
(drill whirring)
(door banging on the lock)
There, now mum can take a shower in peace.
Another project I have...
See that, door won't close.
It's, you know, old houses,
they move, they settle.
And the door hits up here.
Course if you've been
watching us for a long time
you already knew that, iT was
like that when we moved in.
It's a lock of a 16th, 8th of
an inch, something like that.
I've gotta shave that
off the top of the door
to get it to fit.
I don't wanna shave the door frame.
Door would be better to
shave so, I'm gonna do that.
Mum and dad's door need
to be able to close.
So we can have private conversations.
Course, what were you thinking?
I am the worst at cleaning up.
But I always like to have screw gun handy.
I use it all the time so you
can buy these cabinet doors
and these drawers to fit
the Kallex unit from IKEA.
Love 'em; it's also a
good place to hide stuff.
You don't want Priscilla to notice
that you didn't put your stuff away
when you're done with it.
But it does actually hide
things really, really well
and since we added a certain
member to the family,
she gets into everything, huh?
So I gotta put stuff away
more often so it's nice
to be able to put all the things in there.
We can ever organize some of
the merch and stuff like that
and this one has sunglasses in
it, we're out of sunglasses.
What you cooking, chef?
- I am making chili.
- [Asa] Nice.
- Yeah, I don't know
if anybody will eat it
but we're having it.
- [Asa] Why won't we eat it?
- Well you know, Isaiah
doesn't like chili.
Summer doesn't like all chili.
So we're gonna make grilled
cheese as well just in case.
- [Asa] I'm gonna eat it.
- Okay, I know Abbie will eat it.
- Yeah, so I was talking about the locks
for the bathroom doors, you know
and something we had to
do when Summer moved in.
Because Abbie will bust in on you
and you know, and I was thinking
about how everything is,
we've had to innovate for a long time.
- [Priscilla] Right.
- You know, with Abigail.
And had to come up with ideas.
You talking about the
hooking, a little hook
and an eye to screw in there.
You know the first time hit
into that with full force,
it would rip it right out the door.
- Right.
- So it's kinda funny,
you wouldn't think, "I'll
buy a hotel door lock",
but we've always had to do that.
We've always had to innovate, with Abbie.
- Something too I thought was interesting.
So people asked how we dealt
with AirBnB we were just at.
- [Asa] Yeah.
- So one the things,
now that Abbie's older, is
she doesn't necessarily try
to get out all the time and
it does take her a while
to figure locks out so
that AirBnB, on the patio,
they had the screen doors
but it had the special
little locks that are on screen doors.
So we never worried about
her figuring that out.
- Yeah she's never experiences
those kind of locks before.
- Right and Abbie's not interested,
she wants easy access to things,
she is not gonna work at things.
Kids that push chairs
over and she's never been
that kind of kid.
- There's nothing out there
that would intrigue her enough
but we've also been doing this, holy crap,
well for a decade, since
we started going to SFA,
we started going to
SFA when Abbie was four
and, four or five and going to hotels
multiples times per
year because we would go
all throughout the summer
and to Service For Autism
and we had to innovate.
I would use my belt
- We'd use ratchet straps.
- Yeah, took a strap off the car
that we held a surf board down with
and used that to the hold the door shut
Attached the outside
door to the bathroom door
to keep her from being able
to get out of the hotel room.
Remember when we had
to turn off the water?
- Yup, when they had sinks in the room,
not in the bathroom but a wet bar
and we would have to turn water off there.
- Yeah, go underneath the cabinet,
turn the water off actually at the source
because she would put things in the sink
and turn the water on, she
liked playing water back then.
- Yep.
- [Asa] So.
- We're talking about you, you hear it?
- [Asa] Do you remember all that stuff?
- You've come a long way girlfriend.
I'm so proud of you.
- [Asa] Some of the
skills that she has learnt
have been through ABA,
not just not to do thing,
like those behaviors, but
also how to entertain herself
so she's not playing in
water and doing the things
that would be considered
undesirable behavior.
Like going, getting her
iPad and sitting down
and listening to music if she
wakes up before anybody else,
that kind of thing.
- And she's not necessarily
playing with toys,
like a lot of kids do
'cause she's really is not
interested in them.
- [Asa] Never has played with toys.
- She has so many things available to her
and she's just not interested.
Just like, the older the
kids get, they change.
She used to have all these sensory things
and she still has them in
her room but she just...
- Yep.
- She's just not interested.
- Somebody actually
commented, they sent me a link
in an email, it was, for
making sensory bottles.
We have a video about
making sensory bottles.
Abigail played with them for a little bit
and then they just sat in her toy box.
- [Priscilla] Yep.
- So she did used to make sensory bottles.
- [Priscilla] Turn the light on.
- [Asa] Still need it!
- [Priscilla And Asa] Thank you!
- Yeah I was thinking about that
when I was doing the door lock,
all the innovation that we've had to do
throughout the years.
- [Priscilla] Yeah.
I don't know, I wish we would
have had a channel back then
so people could've seen
how far she's come.
- [Asa] I know, well not
just that, but you know...
- And all the different tips and tricks.
- [Asa] Yeah, all the stuff
that we did back then.
Ratchet straps, yeah those
always came in clutch.
- They did; if you have a ratchet strap,
you can do a whole lot.
- [Asa] We put one around the cooler
to keep her out of the
cooler all the time, yep.
- [Priscilla] You would have to go in
and move everything
around in the hotel room.
- [Asa] Yeah.
- We would have to get rid
of the coffee maker, put everything up.
Here, come stir it, you stir.
I feel like I've done,
I think I went wide and did it
but it's still on my channel.
- [Asa] Oh, okay.
- So go over and subscribe
to Cilla's Stuff and Things.
- [Asa] Stir.
- Here, you wanna help me?
Stir it!
And the recipe is on there.
I actually used the two alarm chili kit.
She's not interested.
- [Asa] No.
- But I add things, like
fresh onion, fresh garlic.
They have it in there but
I don't use the packets
that are in there.
- [Asa] It's warm chili.
- Yeah it's really good.
- It's really good, you guys.
It's better than just
a two alarm chili kit,
it's so good.
- And the comment down
below, are you guys,
what do you put as your
topping on your chili?
Would do you put?
- [Asa] I put sour cream
and oyster crackers.
- And cheddar cheese?
- [Asa] And cheddar cheese.
- That's what I put, what do you guys put?
Are you guys a sour
cream or no sour cream?
It's like half and half.
Some people do it, some people don't.
- [Asa] Really?
I thought everybody did that.
(utensils clanging)
(sizzling)
Remember that seafood chef?
When he's making the
grilled cheese sandwiches,
so satisfying, if haven't
seen that movie, you should.
We watched that when
Priscilla was talking about
doing a food truck, remember that?
Oh, food truck movie.
- Now I'm just trying to feed my family
so can we move on with it?
- [Asa] Sorry for taking so long!
(laughing)
Such a good movie, if you haven't seen it,
you should go see it.
I think it's on Netflix; it's on Netflix.
I'm just full of recommendations today.
- You are.
- [Asa] Door locks,
Netflix movies, all kinds of stuff.
Chili, highly recommended.
That is pepper jelly than goes on these
and it is so good.
It's like sweet and savory.
- That's on my channel too.
- [Asa] It is.
Yeah, It's on Priscilla's channel.
A little bit of spice, super good.
- [Summer] And the last one,
you gotta come over here.
Come on!
Go right here
- [Priscilla] This is Abbie's.
(family chatter)
Oh those flowers are really good.
- [Asa] ...make it to the weekend.
Family vacation, family
walk, family dinner.
- Holy cow, do you think we need a break?
- Family!
(laughing)
We will see you guys tomorrow.
Thanks for being part of our family also.
- [Priscilla] Thank you.
- [Asa] No son, we'll miss you.
See you guys tomorrow.
Say bye, Ab!
Close you mouth!
Oh, greasy hands!
(beep)
- I'm going show them, even
though I'm not supposed to
look at the camera.
Look how cute!
(laughing)
