Batteries Not Included

Maybe for Christmas we should put "Large Cardboard Box" on the kids' Christmas list.

We got a new hot water heater this past week (BIG thanks to an unnamed relative...you know who you are!!!). I guess you could say that we're finally in a bit of hot water. The entire house was attempting to function on a 35 gallon one! Two men from the church came over and installed it in a day! They were amazing.

Thankfully, the men left the box in one piece and left the foam tube packaging. We have renamed them "Do-Do's" because you can make them sound like a trumpet!

We are thrilled to finally not have to juggle shower/bath schedules, and the kids are excited to play with their new toy. And one more bonus to cardboard: it doesn't require batteries.
