Fire!

Jaxon almost set our house on fire yesterday!

At lunch time yesterday, I asked everyone what they wanted for lunch and everyone decided they wanted mac-n-cheese which is always good. I put the pot of water on the back burner and walked away to let it boil. Our living area is all open so I could see the stove.

Next to the stove is our dishwasher and little trouble maker likes to open it up and stand on the lid to play with whatever is on the counter. I was watched him from the living room pick up the roll of paper towels and I thought that's not good! Sure enough the towels fell right into the flame and one sheet caught on fire!

Chaos ensued as Maddy and Meike started screaming. I ran as quick as I could (lightly moving Maddy out of my way) to get the flaming paper towel and thew the flame under the running water. I'm not sure the look on Jaxon's face as he watched the paper towel catch fire was the best. He seemed fascinated by the cause and effect of the flames.

I guess we need to work a little harder on keeping Jaxon out of trouble!
