Tonight was just one more marker in our week of unexpected events. Apparently it was Bear's birthday today and a cake was being made for him in my oven. Unaware of the party plans underweigh, I went about my business of preparing dinner for my family. Only when I attempted to pout my garlic breadsticks in the oven did I realize my dilemma....Bear's cake was made of Legos which do not survive well in a 400 degree oven.
5 hours later Ryan has a headache from inhaling 1/2 of a fire extinguisher and 3 blue legos. The fumes have dissipated, the plastic has been scraped form my oven (thanks to my amazing Father-in-law) and a new fire extinguisher has been purchased. Oh, and a lesson has been learned by Bear's mommy, "I guess we should cook things in the little kitchen, not the big oven."
We are thanking God that we only lost a few legos and a plastic plate in this post-Christmas disaster. It seems that We Six Yohos will always remember this as the Christmas of germs and flames.

Jacob put our "birthday cake" (Like the melissa doug pizza) in the microwave for a few seconds (until I realized what was happening). But the flaming Lego cake is really something!
This reminds me of the big plastic ball that exploded in my oven...but there wasn't a good reason for it being in there! At least Bear's Mommy had a plan :).
That made me laugh today!
