What do you get when you combine the following: a hungry nine-year-old, a microwave oven, and a distracted mother? At our house, they equal a Fahrenheit 451 re-enactment of sorts. Jacob decided to fix himself a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant. No problem, open the package, wrap the sandwich in a paper towel, pop it in the microwave for a few minutes, dinner is served. Except he entered two extra zeros to the cooking time, making it a big, smelly, burnt paper towel--but luckily no actual flames--stink up the house kind of problem. The scent should dissipate in a week or so. :o)
For some reason, I neglected to take pictures of Cameron and Jacob in their Halloween costumes. Perhaps I was too busy taking pictures of this little creature:
As much as I hate to admit it, boys, your days in the cuteness spotlight are over.
There's a new king, er, queen of the jungle. And her name is Chloe.
We had a similar microwave experience. Micah decided to make popcorn. When I came in the house, there was smoke pouring out of the microwave and the whole upstairs was smokey. When I stopped the microwave, it still had 55 minutes left! Micah was hiding in my bed because he was scared and didn't know what to do! We had burned popcorn smell for a while!
ReplyDeleteChloe makes a really cute lion!
You can't leave those kids for a minute! I agree, Chloe is darling. Nothing like a sweet little girl in the middle of all those boys. Parker, you'll have to tell me how you liked Ender's Game. I read it last month to see if Brandon would like it. Not sure if he's ready...
ReplyDeleteSorry about the burnt paper towel aroma. Is it better by now? As for the darling little lion.... She is getting so big....please give her a big hug for us as well as the boys and Brandi....Looking forward to Thanksgiving.....
ReplyDeleteShe is so big now! How sweet. Good thing she's bringing the "sugar and spice and everything nice" into the "spiders, snails, and puppy dog tails" mixture! I need to see more pictures of her!
