Hot Potato

Nate left today for his now bi-weekly trek to Charlotte, leaving me with two bored toddlers. So we headed outside in the 100 degree heat and played in the sprinkler. I needed to start dinner, so I was going back and forth from the kitchen to the front porch to check on them. When I opened the door to come back inside the house, a huge cloud of smoke rolled past me! The house was filled with smoke! Apparently, when you are microwaving only one sweet potato it doesn’t take 15 minutes to do so…oops! I immediately took the hot potato outside and doused it with water. Here’s a shot of the ashes…and the microwave. (May it rest in peace…)

So I have every fan on in the house at high speed, all windows open, and the A.C. off. Nathaniel’s in his undies, Ella’s in a diaper, and I’m in my swimsuit! What an unfortunate time for Nate to be out of town! ;)
