NO MORE BEEP!!

We have FIVE smoke alarms in our little house.  They are very loud and very sensitive.  If one goes off the rest are sure to follow and Matt runs around with the stool turning them off, while I turn on the oven fan and open a window.  Jake gets a terrified look on his face and runs for Mommy or Daddy.   Grace doesn't mind so much.  Matt's new way to deal with the alarms is to gently rip them from the wall until we are sure the smoke has cleared and then put them back.

A few days ago they went off when Matt and his friend has some trouble getting the pizzas in the oven.  and yesterday one went off while I was cooking (did I mention they are extremely sensitive).   Matt was not home from work yet.  I took Grace and a very scared Jake outside as another alarm went off.  I handed Grace the phone and told her to call Daddy and tell him to rush home (he should have been on his way) because I do not know how to gently rip them from the wall.  Jake held tight to his big sister.

Grace gladly took on the role of protective sister and stayed outside with Jake until Daddy got home a few minutes later.   Jake made it clear he does not like the noise.  For the next 30 minutes all Jake said was "no more beep, no more beep, no more beep."  At first it was cute and funny, then it was kind of annoying, then we were seriously worried about him having nightmares from this experience.
