water and birthdays and cookies and fire

It's been a fun week. I washed my car and then somehow got involved in a waterfight with my little cousins. It was pretty funny, they haven't quite figured out how to throw water without throwing the entire bucket. I was only wet from the waist down because they can't pour any higher than that. :)
Tuesday night I got to hang out with U of I/Mexico people for J-nelle's birthday party. We went to Feista Ranchero for supper, hung out at the fishbowl, watched Janelle and Amber play bocci ball in the living room and Sarah and I sang random songs. Good times.
Yesterday Heidi and I decided to bake cookies at 9:00 at night. The oven was smoking a little because her mom had spilled butter in the bottom of the oven, but we didn't think anything of it. But when we put the cookies in, it started on fire! There were pretty tall flames leaping out of the oven, and no fire extinguisher, so Heidi put it out with a glass of water. :) We definitely set off the smoke alarm and filled the house with smoke. (Why does this always happen to me?) So we switched to the downstairs oven and made some that weren't charbroiled and took them to Luke's new duplex for a house warming present.
I'm leaving for Abby's baptism in Leo in an hour or so...yay! Aunt Rita's house is going to be full of family! Hopefully their pool isn't freezing. :)
Blessings.

Hey, speaking of setting off fire alarms, last weekend when Jason, Brandon, and Duane where in Cissna, they woke me up Saturday morning and told me to make breakfast. They ordered French Toast and I had no idea what I was doing. Needless to say, after a few minutes I had the fire alarm going! :)

So, I had the Y.G. over after WCV, and I'm pretty sure they ate all my cookies. I ate TWO...TWO!! You definitely need to make me another batch, so I can enjoy them.

HAHA!! That was a great night. Certainly the high point of my week. Jenny, you are so great when there is a fire. You have a one track mind- "Where is the fire extinguisher?!" I still haven't learned if throwing water in an oven in the best way to put out a fire, but it worked, and it was lots less messy than the fire extinguisher! :D Great Fun! Thanks for the memories!

Haha...o man. Dad said since it was a grease fire that baking soda would have been a better idea, but the water put it out so yay for you! :) The fire extinguisher would have been messy, but a lot more fun.
