Well, that was an interesting day!

Saturday was an interesting and filled to the brim kind of a day.  Big guy woke up super early, like 4:30!  Yikes! We had music class in the morning.  Big guy was in rare form.  Alternating between running around and not listening to clingy to me and pouting.  Ugh, I needed a break from him when we got home.  He ended up losing tv for the afternoon because he wasn't listening!  Little man had a great time at music class.  He just thinks it is so fascinating watching all the kids run around and hearing all the cool noises.  He promptly passed out.  So did big guy but he woke up when hubs got him out of the car.  grrrr.  Anywho, it turned into a pleasant afternoon, albeit tv free.  But it was for the best.

After everyone ate lunch, gmom J and aunt B came to visit.  We went down to the duck pond with a ton of stale bread, cereal, and snack foods.  Everyone had a great time.  The weather was perfect.  Warm and sunny.  Following the epic meal, we walked on the nature path for a while.  Little man fell asleep in my arms.  We went home, everyone ate a snack and then we just hung out.  We had a nice dinner of chicken fingers, pasta with butter/cheese, and roasted broccolli and cauliflower.  Delicious!  Following dinner, we said goodbye and headed upstairs for bath and bed.

I gave little man a bath and then came downstairs.  Big guy and hubs had a bath and then I heard yelling.  And beeping.  Big guy and hubs come running down the stairs, saying the carbon monoxide detector was going off!  After about ten minutes trying to look online about what to do, hubs changed the batteries, opened all the windows, and asked me to call the oil company, since our water heater would be the only thing that could cause a problem in our house.  They suggested calling the fire company.  So, I called the non-emergency number and they sent me to dispatch.  Who told us to go outside and wait.  A police officer came about five minutes later, very discreetly.  Big guy, little man and I were staying warm in the car.

Then I heard the sirens.  I asked, "is that for us?"  Yup!  Down comes a huge fire truck, all lights and sirens on.  Then they put on this huge spotlight on our house.  Hubs and the fireman proceed into the house, while I chatted with the officer.  But then put the boys back into the car because it was rather cold and past everyone's bedtime.  our house is fine, we are all safe.  Big guy was a bit shaken, after asking me a million times, "Mommy, what's wrong with the upstairs?"  Hubs slept in his room with him.  Needless to say, it was an adventure I never wish to need to have again.  But everyone was really nice and professional, which is a great feeling about our community resources.  And it was a really interesting day!!!
