FIRE!

We had a scare two nights ago. Everyone was asleep in bed while I was awake watching "Army Wives" and repeats of "Drop Dead Diva" on Lifetime while studying. As I was sitting on the couch, I noticed this orange glow from the window. I figured our neighbors were getting ready to light up some fireworks. So when I looked out the window, I saw the neighbor's shed had caught fire. I grabbed the phone and raced upstairs to wake Matt as I was dialing 911. By the time I reached Matt, the shed was engulfed in flames. Matt immediately got up and ran outside...in his underwear mind you....to make sure all were okay. My neighbor caught video of Matt racing back across the yards to grab our house in his underwear. LOL! Thankfully it was dark out so you can't see much but the image is still hillarious. She has footage of Matt with the hose spraying down the tree and our fence. The water pressure isn't the greatest so Matt's silouhette looks like it's peeing on the fire. LOL! If I can get the video from the neighbor I will definitely add it to this post. The neighbor's shed is totally gone and because Matt was out with the hose, he was able to save the other neighbor's tree and the kids' playset. Our fence has about 6 rails and a post that needs to be replaced. Some of the images my neighbor captured with her camera are quite freaky too. They gave me chills when reviewing them. In the clouds you can pick out faces and a few look like demons or possibly what the devil may appear to us as. It was quite chilling. I'll see if I can post some later.

Ethan's hose

Okay, this morning I was in the office reviewing some notes. Then, I hear this noise like someone taking a hose and filling a bucket with water. Curious, I leaped out of the chair and headed towards the kitchen. I then see Ethan standing by the basement door with his little hose out pee'ing down the basement stairs. NICE! He immediately said he was sorry when I screamed out his name. *sigh* All this right before having to send Katheryn and Brian out the door to school. Sometimes I wonder if Ethan will grow out of these mischievous acts. Right when I think he's put it all behind him, something like this happens. LOL!
