Not to be a spoil sport but I must tell you that after living with a fireman for 35 years, I know his comment would be....."Not Funny......that is how houses burn down". He fought many fires because of careless accidents. He was such a fanatic about fire safety and yelled at many times for storing newspapers under the stairway in the basement. He called it "incomplete combustion" which could cause the house to catch on fire and burn because so many papers were stacked up in a small area. A long time ago we saved newspapers until the schools had their paper drives to earn a few dollars for school supplies.
Just thought you would like to hear another side of what made you giggle. I remember one time, I boiled a few baby nipples(to sterilize them) in my brand new sauce pan.....FORGOT about them and when I finally figured out where the horrible smell was coming from, I found the nipples completely melted in my brand new saucepan. Good thing my husband was at the firestation working cuz the pan was thrown into the trash. He never did find out what happened to the new pan. Incidently the kitchen was beginning to fill with black smoke when I found my mistake.
Jen, May I say you are such a great writer! I love your page, it's so fun to come and read about your family. Oh, and how absolutely adorable was Jake for his first day of school! I loved your choice of outfit! Have a very blessed week! Ashleigh Paige
