Fun Times

Tuesday evening we had a bit of an adventure... Our oven caught on fire! I was making Quiche (which I have decided I will never make again) for dinner. They got a little over filled, the crust broke, causing egg to fall into the bottom of the oven. No big deal, right? Well, that is what I thought. I never realized that egg was so flammable! I am so glad that Tim was home; he was able to grab the fire extinguisher and put the fire out while I took Quin outside to get him out of all of the smoke. Who knew that a little bit of egg could cause such a big mess. There was so much smoke that you couldn't see across our house. What as mess. The house smelled so bad and was so dirty that we had to spend the night in a hotel. The idea of staying in a hotel seemed like a good one, however by the time we checked in and got everything set up, it was 11:00 (3 hours past bedtime). Quin has a habit of rocking in his crib before going to sleep. Evidently, rocking in a pack and play is so much fun that it can keep a 14 month old occupied for an entire night.

After a night of not sleeping, the daunting task of clean-up awaited us. I have to admit that we aren't completely done yet. The majority of Quin's toys are still covered in fire extinguisher stuff (and reside in the garage), but at least all of the surfaces that he can reach are nice and clean. I guess finishing the clean-up is what we have in store for the weekend. Yeah.

Looking on the bright side, at least we are all safe. We are left with a bit of a mess and odor, but nothing more. We really are lucky.
