1. our fire extinguisher
2. store-bought cookies!
3. our sweet neighbour who let us camp at her house while our house aired out
4. our sweet neighbour's sweet grandson who vacuumed up the mess from the fire extinguisher while I stayed with the children
I had a small incident with the oven yesterday evening, when a burning cookie started my oven mitts that were hiding in the oven drawer on fire! Thankfully I had the presence of mind to actually use the fire extinguisher (first time!) and all ended well, albeit stinkily. No damage to anything (except the oven mitts which I wanted to replace anyway!)
I am so thankful to the Lord for taking care of us and reminding us of our dependence on Him. What a great opportunity to teach the children that our Lord and Father never slumbers or sleeps, and all things are done according to his plan. Bedtime was a little later than usual, but the children (and their mom!) all slept peacefully.

Good thing you had a fire extinguisher...I don't own one...maybe I'll go out and get one now though! Glad to hear that it all turned out okay though!
I haven't started a fire yet....but it wasn't for lack of trying. Or burning.....:-)
