Burnt toast

Ahh......the joys of parenthood. The sights, the sounds, the smells????
I was in my bedroom this afternoon listening to my Ry-guy read. He is improving so much and will hopefully be at grade level by the end of the year. Ally-bug comes running in my room, calm as can be, and says, "Hey mom, there is smoke in the kitchen, I think something is on fire."

This can't be good.

I run to the kitchen and the whole room is filled with smoke. Jonny-fish had decided to make toast and put the toaster setting to the highest setting, and then walked away.

I hurried to unplug the toaster and dropped what now resembled charcoal out the back door. We had to leave the door open and put all the fans in the kitchen to blow the smoke out.

But the smell lingers on.....
