Fire in the Kitchen...

Imagine a quiet, peaceful Saturday morning. The kids are awake and quietly doing whatever when all of a sudden you are awakened by a screaming alarm. My first thought was one of the kids set off the alarm by accident. So I bolt out of bed and run to the laundry room and punch in the alarm code. It didn't turn off the alarm the first time, so I punched it in again, still no luck... that is when Matty yells to me to come to the kitchen. So as we run to the kitchen I notice the smell of smoke. I turn the corner into the kitchen and notice a fire in the toaster. Matty had set his poptart for extra long and the thing caught on fire. I pulled out the toaster plug, and blew out the fire. The alarm was still going off at this point so I thought I should use the broom to fan the smoke away from the smoke detector, but as soon as I got to the broom the alarm turned itself off. At that moment Kaia ran back IN the house with her poptart in hand crying hysterically. That is when noticed what she had on... A tank top with a half jacket. She had no panties on! No pants! Nothing! She knew when a fire hapens to get out of the building but she forgot to put clothes on! I wonder how many people saw my 5 year old sprint out of the house screaming and crying with no clothes on her bottom half? Wonderful :) Needless to say poptarts are not on my grocery list, and my children are not allowed to be using those appliances without my supervision.
