So... if any of you have suggestions on how to rid our house of the smell of smoke (it is bad, really BAD!), please let me know! So far I have bowls of vinegar sitting out and the carpet is sprinkled with baking soda, I'll vacuum that up when I'm done this. I've washed all the curtains and we've frebreezed everything that's fabric. The walls stink though and the carpet is nasty too... any ideas?? You can either email me or leave them in the comment section... thanks!

A Microwave, and Sweet Potato, and a Very Close Call!
So... it was so scary... I was making a sweet potato in the microwave last night (I put it in for 10 mins, I know I've done that before without a problem!) and I started to smell smoke. I went into the kitchen and WOW... there was smoke pouring out of the microwave and the whole inside was glowing orange!! I said, "Jake, something's not right, something's not right... help!" He is such a hero, he came running in and then ran out (meanwhile I was trying to get out our fire extinguisher, but when he ran out of the room, I ran out and grabbed Mackenzie and ran outside...) and shut off the main breaker. He served so diligently in the smoke, opening the windows and getting the microwave outside (he was so cute using oven mitts!) We spent a lot of time outside and then went in and went to bed... luckily our rooms were ok, we shut the doors and put on the air conditioners right away and it seemed to do the trick! Here are some pictures of the horrific microwave story!
We actually got the microwave pretty clean, but we don't know if it works yet or not.
The burnt sweet potato... I don't know if I'll ever be able to eat one again!
Mackenzie talking to her daddy out on the hammock!
My Babies!
Trying to get away... she's so squirmy!
