So last night about 9:00 the smoke detector beeped 3 times downstairs. We didn't think too much of it until an hour later...beep beep beep. Trents said that he thought it was one of the smoke detectors running out of batteries so we took the batteries out....Then at 11:00 pm, both kids asleep and Trent and I almost asleep...when we hear beep beep beep, nothing to loud...then every smoke detector in the house both upstairs and downstairs starting blaring and kept going off, startling the heck out of us and waking both kids. After unplugging the one in our room the craziness started again about 30 minutes later after realizing that they were all connected so if one detector goes off they all go off. Finally at 2:00 am we found and unplugged the problem detector (one downstairs) and were finally able to get to sleep. This morning we tried to find out why it was going off, but nothing. New batteries, freshly cleaned.... it still kept beeping so we just decided to keep it unplugged.
Has anyone seen the Friends episode where Phoebe was awoken by the smoke detector and did everythig to get it to stop and it wouldn't...that is exactly what happened last night! Crazy smoke detector!!!!!

good ole friends....we gotta get together and have a friends marathon!
I love the Show "Friends".
That sounds really annoying! Our smoke detectors are always going off unnecessarily, I think because they are just old - seriously like from 1970's. It drives me mad because it's always at night when they go off. We have to put fresh batteries in them all the time. I don't dare leave ours unplugged because our old cottage has such old wiring that I'm afraid one night we really will be woken to a fire.
Why is it that they only go off in the middle of the night??
As if all you needed is less sleep having a newborn on your hands! Hopefully that won't keep happening! Wonder what it was?
