How to get boys to eat broccoli and carrots: give them a knife.
If you are bored and curious what I did this morning, read on.
2am: Rob woke, feeling the chill in the air. The heat had gone out due to a poorly designed drain pipe from our furnace.
6:12am - Liam woke up. Fairly warm b/c we put a space heater in his room at 2am.
7:35am - Called the heat man and he said he'd be over this morning.
8:03am - Couldn't take the cold any longer. Bundled up the kids and went to eat donuts for breakfast.
8:45am - Dropped Ben at school. Happy boy - he was wearing the new Super Heros shirt Santa got him.
8:55am - Go to Lowe's for additional space heaters.
9:04am - Heat man calls to say he has thawed the pipe. He explains how to install heat tape (not really tape), tells me what to buy and says I might have to call a few places to find it given it has been so cold lately. (thanks)
10:10am - Eight calls and four stops later, I have the materials.
12:15pm - Rob did the installation. Very thankful I was not out in the cold installing heat tape.
9:58pm - So far, this is working better than Ms. Angie's attempt to make it snow.
