Lights Out

We lost power in Allie's room last week, and were stumped what on earth happened.

The breaker in Allie's room is connected to our hot water, so when one goes, the other goes. Poor little Allie has been living in a dark room for the past week while we get an electrician out to help solve the mystery.

Well....

I soon located this.

And lastly, our final peice to the puzzle was found yesterday.....

This!

I cannot believe A.) Nobody (ahem Gabe) got hurt, B.) Our house didn't burn to the ground.

When I showed Gabe the burnt up night light he said, "it's broken", and when I asked if he did it he replied, "Yes".

At least he's honest.

Rewind to last night. Allie and I are having a moment on the couch talking about Christmas while sitting in the dark looking at our colorfully lit Christmas tree.

Me: Allie, what do you want for Christmas?
A: For the lights to work in my room.
