No hot water

Wyatt wants to fatten up the garden snails and eat them. He looked up how to take care of them. You are supposed to feed them cornmeal for five days to clear out their systems. 

I was fine with all that and bought some mushrooms, because I read that's what snails like. These photos are "before and after" shots of the water dish. 

They were really thirsty. This is day one and you can already see the snail poop. By day two the smell was overpowering, so they went back to the garden. 

Meanwhile, we turned on one too many appliances and shorted out the power. Sometimes a power outage shuts off the water heater.  This was also the first day they filled the pool. So the boys came back freezing cold and wanting warm baths, only to find there was no hot water. Here's Winston in the utility sink, filled with water from the tea kettle. How they have grown!  Last time he took a bath in the sink he could have stood up in it.
