The DENTist...

So yesterday I was preparing Jaylen for his visit with the dentist that he had today. After a minute, he was almost crying so I asked what was wrong, and he asked in this fearful little voice... "Is the DENTist going to give me a DENT in my head?" Poor little guy made too much of a connection there! By the way, he did pretty good... cried a little at first, then started laughing when they showed him the lighted mirror tool - he thought it was the coolest thing!

Smokin

Well, what better way to start a blog than with a story of what happened in paradise this morning. I just had the boys sitting down to eat their breakfast when I started smelling smoke... Then I saw smoke. Uh oh. Seemed to be coming from the hallway, so I headed down there and saw it was coming from the laundry room, which was pretty well filled with smoke! I opened the door to the garage to make sure it wasn't coming from there. It seemed to be only in the laundry room. I hadn't run the washer or dryer since last night, so this was getting a little wierd. I opened the garage door and the door from the laundry room to the garage to air it out. Then I called dear hubby at work and he suggested unplugging the washer and dryer just in case. He called back a little later and said he was coming home to check things out... hard to concentrate on work when your house filled with smoke! So Geoff came home and found... nothing. Checked the washer, dryer (and ran them both), dryer vent, fan, even the furnace. Nothing. So, still not sure what caused this, I'm just hoping it doesn't happen again!
