the (almost) fire.


last night, we had a fire. mom was getting ready to make some popcorn, so she put the oil in the popcorn maker so it would heat up on the stove. in the meantime, lucy was starting to get a little fussy, so mom went over to help traci try and calm her down. about 3 minutes later, the smoke detector went off and we look over and there is flames coming out of the popcorn maker. mom's fire safety skills came into practice and she took the flaming popcorn maker out on the porch to die down.' unfortunately, mom's popcorn maker didn't survive. but don't worry, it's not her nice one...that one's at home. rip, mom's traveling popcorn maker.

p.s. dad just went out to get a (sheet) cake. we are celebrating lucy's 2 month birthday!

well at least you have things like Lucy, a fire and good books to keep you busy while it's raining!
Hope you get some sunny days soon, and glad to hear you're still having a great time amidst the dreary weather.

So glad that is a travel popcorn maker. So the cycle begins she needs to get a new one and then her current good one becomes the travel popcorn maker.

In addition to the sheet cake did she get special occasion popcorn?
