Almost disaster

Well, we had an almost disaster today. I was downstairs just minding my own business, and Jack came down asking for lunch. I told him lunch was in a few minutes, and that I would come up in a few. He then told me. "I can have pizza and I know how to work the microwave." I said "YOU BETTER NOT!" I told him to just wait for me and I would do it in a minute. Well, a couple min. later Jack came running downstairs saying, "Ky, MOM, you guys gotta come see this" so I ran up the stairs only to find my whole house totally smokey, and when I say smokey, I mean I really couldn't see my ceiling. I ran to the microwave and turned it off. Then I yelled to the kids to get outside, cause I literally could not breathe. They ran outside. I got a fan turned on, and had to basically lay on the floor cause it was so smokey. I was freaked out. Okay, so here is what happened. Jack put a piece of pizza in the microwave and set the timer for something over 30 min. There was also a plastic food cover in the microwave he didn't bother taking out. Well, the pizza got so hot it started on fire and started to set the other little plastic thing on fire. We are lucky the whole microwave didn't blow!! SHEESH! SCARY! That little Jack really knows how to keep me busy. Here are the pics

Yes, this is/was a piece of pizza

This show 29:45 still left on the microwave had I not stopped it. YIKES!

So Proud!

This is a tribute to Kylee post. I am so proud of her. She started school last thursday (kindergarten) and she is doing awesome! The first day was pretty rough, she held onto me, and wouldn't let go (crying the whole time). It was hard for the both of us, but I didn't break down until I got home. I was too mad at her for clinging on to me the way she was at school. Second day was a little better, and then it has been pretty dang good since then. She did say one thing to me after the first day of Kindergarten, she said "Mom, kindergarten wasn't as bad as I thought!" She is a funny girl. She really likes her teacher, and so do I.

Today she had her first soccer game ever, and let me just tell you my first thoughts as the game started..."I shouldn't be this frustrated watching this, but I am" The first touch of the game all the girls started going the same way, which was the wrong way for our team, and we pretty much gave them a goal. They were pretty proud of themselves. Kylee was kinda like "what? where? Huh?" She just didn't seem that into it. Oh, and before the game started she said "Mom, why did you sign me up for soccer, I don't want to play!" Then, for some reason, it clicked in the second half, and she had 5 of the 7 goals that our team scored. They did awesome. She just kept going and going, I was so proud of her. I am sad cause I didn't have my camera, cause Joe took it hunting. But she did AWESOME! I atribute it to having her Grandma and Grandpa and aunt Barbara show up for the second half. They should come every time. So, when the game was over she couldn't stop saying "I LOVE SOCCER, can I play every day? Do I have a game tomorrow? I want to play right now!" So, she loves it and I am glad that she does. Pictures of her first day of school will be coming soon.
