My sister and her two girls came over one day, before Christmas, to spend some time with us. They don't live far but with our busy lives, we don't get together a lot. So the kids were playing and my sister and I were talking, listening to the kids from the other room.
WARNING #1 When there are young children present, keep your eyes on them at all times.
After a while, sis gets her kids bundled up and ready to go.
Soon after, Jason came home to suggest we go to Frankenmuth to look at Christmas lights and have dinner. Quickly, we got ready to go and had an enjoyable evening with the fam. It had been snowing all day and was begining to feel like Christmas, until we got home.
I was the first to go in the house with the baby and I thought, wow it feels warm in here. Must be from coming in from the snowy weather and I immediately took off my coat. Jason came in with the other kids and yelled, "Whoa, it's hot in here!"
I went to check the thermostat and it read 90 degrees. Ninety degrees in the middle of December. We immediately started undressing the kids and Jason put his shorts on. We can't even stand ninety degrees in the summer, we turn the air on. It was hard to breathe, so the windows were opened. The kids had to sleep in their underwear and our house was still in the mid seventies the next morning.
What in the world happened to the thermostat for it to reach the maximum temperature possible you ask? Scroll back up to the picture of Red. Innocent she may look but my friends I tell you otherwise. You will be sucked in by her cute smile and quick wit...but watch your thermostat when she's around.
WARNING #2 Always check your thermostat when leaving the house for five hours or more.
By the way sis, if you're reading, you owe us $50. LOL
