Trevor has developed a healthy fear of all the monsters in our house lately. Last week, when Brett was out of town, we seemed to hit a peak. Trevor kept saying he was worried about the war-mare coming out of the floor in his playroom to get him. At one point he successfully freaked Shelly out by saying he could hear the war-mare coming and hid under his table and refused to come out!! This went on for several days with Shelly trying to figure out what on earth he was talking about and why it was so scary. Finally, in complete expiration Trevor says, “Mom the warm A-I-R!! “ Finger spelling A-I-R in sign language for extra emphasis!!
What!! So it finally makes sense. The mornings have been cool and our very old, noisy, rumbly furnace and been coming on. Earlier in the week Shelly had commented on the warm air under the table the playroom, where the vent is, while we were sitting there eating breakfast. When the house is quiet you can hear the furnace kick on and does make noise.
So we immediately embarked on a complete tour of our heating system. Lucky for us the whole heating system is exposed in the garage. We thoroughly inspected all the ducts, intake, vents, giant green furnace and thermostat. All seems to be well now. No more worries about the war-mare!
Trevor will be glad when Halloween and all the other spooky stuff is gone.
We just finished our Halloween Cookies. Trevor was aghast at the idea of taking some to our friends on the street. Why on earth would we give our cookies away?!?!?
