Just a couple new ones...
Our pipes froze during the last really cold spell a few weeks ago. We all got ready that morning without water. Meagan was brushing her teeth with a bottle of water and wearing her too-small-winter-coat (fit her fine before she grew six inches this year but now the sleeves only come down to mid wrist) She said all dramatic like, "Mom! Look at me! Now I know what it feels like to be a poor child!"
Ethan has become very interested in babies and how they get into tummies. The other day he said, "Mom remember when I grew in your tummy?" I said, "No, because you grew in another ladies tummy" (we have had this discussion before). He said, "Oh. Aunt Laura's tummy?"

Oh, how cute! The kids are getting inquisitive. It must be the weather. What was wrong with the plumbing? While Megan seemed dramatic with your pipe problems, I don't think she threw a fit on this one, right? That means she'd be more accepting when it happens again. Or maybe not. Let's just hope for the best.

Surviving on scarce water bottles – yeah, that’s probably how things are for those who aren’t fortunate enough to afford sufficient water supply. Frozen pipes are common household predicaments during winter, that’s why it’s better to look into these matters long before the cold season begins. I hope you won’t have to go through something like this during the winter season.

Frozen pipes are one of the major plights of residences during winter. It's good to know that you can handle this situation positively, together with your kids. Having some humorous conversation with your adorable Maegan and Ethan must have really helped you go through all those hurdles in your life, just like those frozen pipes. In any way, thanks for sharing this, Jen! All the best to your family!
