Well we have had some interesting days. Last month I was in my room cleaning up, Taylor was sleeping and Dominic was playing in his room. It seemed like Camelot. Then I smelled something burning. I ran from my room to the kitchen thinking it would be coming from in there, but it wasn't. Not in the front room, I was getting closer. I went to Dominic's door way and it was strong. Well the heater and water heater are across from his room so I checked, not there. I went into Dominic's room, not there. I checked the hall again, not there. I was frantic. Where could it be. Then I felt something to look in Dominic's lamp. I looked and there was batman on top of the bulb, burning away! Crisis averted!
Then just this Thursday night I came home from watching Gilmore Girls at a friends house. Jonathan had cleaned the whole house and things looked great. But there was something wrong, it was freezing inside the house. Jonathan said he had tried everything and the heater wasn't coming on. I tried for awhile, but to no avail. So we put the space heater in front of Dom's bed and kept Taylor in bed with us under the down comforter. Later that evening or early the next morning Dom came in bed with us also! We were so cold. The house was 50 degrees. Jonathan called the maintenance man and he came over in ten minutes. He asked why we hadn't called last night and I said I didn't want to disturb him at 11 o'clock at night. He said that that was why he gets paid the big bucks! He came in and checked the heater. Then he showed me where there was another emergency gas shut off switch in the house. The switch had been turned. I turned to Dominic and asked if he had climbed on a chair at flipped it. (as it was out of his reach.) He said no but that his friend had done it "last week". (which means to last night) Which it ended up being the case, a red switch is very enticing. Cold for nothing! But the maintenance man saw our water heater and said we need a new one and they will change it on Monday. So I guess some good came of the whole thing.
Oh life with children, never dull!

Poor Batman.

She has no clue that it's cold. It's just an excuse to wear her cute hat in the house.
Doesn't he look positive about the situation.
