Wordless(ish) Wednesday

A few weeks ago, we went down and spent some time with Grandma, Grandpa and Auntie Alex. Jackson loves to help with any "grown up" task, so he was helping Grandma make dinner. The salad spinner is absolutely fascinating to him and he spins and spins and spins!

Hello, Again

OK, We're back! It's been too long and I have so much to catch up on. But, we're going to start with a little mishap that occurred a few nights ago. Now, at the time, I didn't have the sense to actually document the occurrance, but it's something I won't soon forget.

Let's back up a little bit. For Jackson's birthday (and, yes, I plan to post pics from that event sometime in the near future) we got him a play kitchen. He loves playing in the kitchen when I'm cooking dinner or helping me unload the dishwasher. So naturally, we thought, he would love a kitchen his size and all his own even better, right?

Well, kinda.

He does love his kitchen and can spend the better part of the day playing in it. But, he has to come into my kitchen every so often and get some "tools," a spatula, a colander, and a favorite, an oven mitt. He can now also open my oven and put things in. Uh-huh, that's where this is going. He filled my oven with tupperwear lids the other afternoon. I turned on the oven that night to make dinner and it wasn't until the oven dinged to let me know it had reached 375 degrees. That's when I realized I was making melted plastic for dinner.

Let me tell you, melted plastic is NOT easy to get out of an oven! Needless to say, we had tuna fish sandwiches that night!
