Never walk away from a pot on the stove....

I put some syrup (water and sugar and a little maple flavoring) on to warm for breakfast and walked away. I got a little distracted. When the house was filled with smoke, I realized that something was amiss. :) I had turned the heat onto medium instead of low and this is the result. It took a minute to air out the house. I have learned my lesson...or at least I hope I have.

Halloween 2009

We had a busy Halloween this year! First we had a trunk or treat at church, then we had to dress up for school, plus a Halloween party and finally, the actual trick or treating. I have to say, I was glad to see the costumes put away this year. :) Here are some highlights from the trunk or treat. Jacob the Ninja with his friend Sam.
Beth with her friends Emily and Mia

Mickey, me and our little kitty.

My friend, Heather, and Maggie.

Madi and Emma had a fun time trunk or treating together.

All in all, the kids had a lot of fun this year. I am still trying to recover.

Smiles!

Maggie loves her bath but I think she may love being in her towels. I have had to use Emma's princess towel since Maggie seems to be outgrowing the infant towels. It just isn't fair. She is only 3 months old.
