This morning was Veterans' Day morning. Tom has the day off. The rest of us have the day off from school. I stayed up until 2:00 a.m. working on a project. I was looking forward to sleeping in. At the crack of dawn Winston came in to wake us up. The reason why: Tom ordered a bunch of smoke detectors to install because our others were getting too old. We have a lot of them in our house. Last night Winston was soooo excited about putting them in, but Tom told him he had to wait until today. So when he came in to wake us up, his first words to Tom were "You gotta wake up. We gotta get those smoke detectors in, Dad". He just couldn't wait any longer. He probably dreamed all night long about it.
So after a couple of cups of coffee (for Tom) and breakfast (for them both) they got to work. Winston was a great helper, and had lots of questions along the way. He got very excited when it was time to test them - he ran through the whole house to make sure every one of them were working.
And of course, we can't throw the old ones away!
They are new toys for our little Smoke Detector Boy!
