The verdict is in


It is official . We are having a girl. We are very excited about this. Rusty and I were both hoping for a girl. The only thing now is Rusty is dreading having to make toddler size bunk beds. We have to make room for the baby to fit in Alexis and Jordyn's room somehow. It will be fun. I like building things I just need Rusty's muscle and tools. :)

Always check your stove before cooking

In the past I have not been one to check inside my oven before setting it to preheat. After this week I am sure I will check every time before turning on the oven.
Recently Alexis and Jordyn have been cooking in my kitchen instead of playing with their own kitchen. They will bring me random things that we have placed in their cooking drawer and it is some sort of food they have "made." Anyway the other day Alexis had been making me things to eat and we had cleaned up all the cooking things to start getting ready for dinner. I turned on the oven to preheat and then I went and took the girls upstairs to watch a show while I made dinner. Well when I came downstairs I was greeted with a small fire in the oven. That was thrilling. Apparently Alexis had put a hard plastic item in the oven to "cook" and didn't take it out of the oven and I didn't remember her putting anything in there. So it caught fire and melted all down into a hard plastic puddle at the bottom of my oven.
