Friday morning at 5:30am we were awakened by a loud buzzing sound coming from our upstairs furnace. Usually not a good thing. Just as Kermit had predicted a few days before, our upstairs furnace motor had died. Long story short... Kermit fixed it but first we had to get the right motor shipped to the right address. You think that should be a simple thing....not exactly.
Sooo....luckily we only had four nights without heat upstairs. On the bright side, we had a blast having four slumber parties in a row downstairs. We pulled out the couch beds, watched movies, ate popcorn, sang songs, stayed up way too late, and woke up way too early. The girls really did love it. Kermit and I had fun too, it was just exhausting. I learned it's easier to take care of kiddie night issues (and we usually have several a night...eehem) when we are all in the same room together. If somebody needs mom and dad, they just crawl on over...no getting up in the night! Easy. I also learned that our couch beds aren't exactly the most comfortable thing I've ever slept on, so I am thrilled to be sleeping in my own bed tonight now that our heat is restored. The girls are bummed to not be sleeping all together though. Not to worry, we'll do it again! Let's hope it's not because the furnace blew up but just because it's fun!

I love Addie's spread eagle in the picture above.
Below, notice the fresh snow outside the window.... it was COLD! Also notice where Avrie wiggled to in the night. Cute girls!
And here's Avrie helping dad fix the furnace. She LOVES helping dad! Why Kermit is in short sleeves, I have no idea! I think it must have been about 50 degrees at least!
We're all toasty warm now! Thanks Kermit for fixing it for us and for the fun times at our family slumber party (parties)!

Great memories!
Isn't it wonderful to have a husband who can fix things? I love that about Jon, too - he can don a suit and power tie and take care of business, but he can also get his hands greasy rebuilding an engine or fixing the furnace! Count your blessings, right? They are a rare breed!
what a fun slumber party!!! I wish i were there to add to the mix. I love the sleeping shots...yes addie is a link all spread out like that....i think we all sleep like that.
I love how handy Kermit is... wow. Glad you took pictures of this memory... it will be a fun one to talk about down the road. Your girls are so darling... Addie's spread eagle is hilarious... how is that comfortable?
