When you have leftover chips and salsa from take-out Mexican food, it's not a good idea to try to re-crisp the chips in a toaster oven. Apparently, greasy chips heating in a mini-oven can burst into flames.
Not to worry, my house is still standing,and we're all fine, but another minute, and it might have been a different story.
Also, if you do find yourself in this situation, you should consider using a fire extinguisher to put out the flames rather than trying to carry the flaming toaster oven outside while screaming at your 2 year old to get in their room and thus scarring them for life. J-A can't stop talking about the fire in the kitchen, and is now afraid to go in there.
Another important life lesson:
Do not give your child a movie you are not prepared to watch 4 times a day....every day....until your brain melts. The girls have been sick with allergies/colds, and J-A spent a couple of days laying around watching Toy Story 2. "To infinity and beyond" is her new favorite saying.
Speaking of saying....We were taking a walk last week, and I was carrying S while Calvin pushed J-A in the stroller. S was peeking at Calvin from inside her hat, and he asked her what she was looking at. J-A turned around and asked, "What's that little stinker doin'?" It was so cute.
That little stinker is doing great. She's so big already. I'll be putting pictures on our website hopefully this week if I get around to it. The link for Sharpfotos is to the left in my links. E-mail me for a password.
Better get busy!
