This morning I was lighting some of my candles and I remembered a story about Kailey that I can laugh about now, but at the time it was a little scary. About 2 months ago we had some friends over and I had lit some candles in the kitchen. My girls know they are not allowed to touch the candles. So knowing this, Kailey decided she would decorate the candles with paper towel, Julia's homework and newspaper flyers. In the process of doing this she had burnt her finger and came running to me. (I was in my living room at the time.) She starts panicing saying "SPIDER, SPIDER, SPIDER IN THE KITCHEN!" Then she says "the spider burned me." (What, a spider can't burn you, what the heck was she talking about, I thought.) So I get up and go to the kitchen with Kailey and all the paper that was on my counter is on fire. I started throughing the paper into the sink and then yelled for Shawn to come and help. Shawn comes in the kitchen and instead of helping he starts freaking out about our new counter top that we just bought. Anyways I get it all cleaned up and luckily nothing got wrecked except Julia's spelling homework. Julia shared the story with her class and they all got a good laugh out of it. It was kinda ironic because that whole week at Julia's school was fire awarness week.

Hey Shannon,

Funny story, but I bet it was scary at the time. Poor Kailey! Thanks for the nice comments on my blog. Your kids have grown so much too. Thomas sure looks like the both of you. Very cute! By the way, is it possible to be added to your links? I only know one other blogger, but I did hear from Nicci this morning. That was so nice!

Oh ya, I forgot, my blog link has to be registered as mccue-matinee, not as Jennifer or it won't work.

Thanks Shannon for adding me to your links. Apparently my name can work as a link. I am so computer illiterate...
