First Day of School

Today was the first day of the school year and this summer went by very quickly! The day started out a little stressfully but as I told the story to a couple of co-workers, I couldn't help but laugh. Brad almost got out the door without his backpack containing all his school supplies, Drew sent me a txt message about 10 minutes after he got to school that said, "I forgot my schedule. Can you txt it to me?" And I... accidentally set my toaster oven on fire! I popped an english muffin into the toaster and by the time it completed toasting, I walked over to the counter and saw flames coming out of the appliance!

My initial thought was, "Where's my phone?! I need to take a facebook picture of this." Then I thought, "I need to throw water on these flames!" But then I thought, "Wait. If I throw water on the flames, it'll ruin the toaster!" I ended up just letting it smolder itself out. Apparently something had fallen from a previous use and I didn't see it before I put the muffin in the toaster. Anyway, mess fixed, boys off to school and everyone had a wonderful day. Can't wait to see how this year unfolds!
