Our first fire

This morning while I was attempting to go to the bathroom I heard our stove burner start to click as if someone was trying to light it.  I hurried into the kitchen to find that Joshua had started the stove and lit a plastic container with cupcakes and my oven mit on fire.  I quickly fanned out the flame.  Thank God I was able to stop the fire and no one was hurt expect the poor chocolate cupcakes that I didn't even get to try :(

Lessons learned from today's mishap: 

1. keep a fire extinguisher handy (note to self, buy a fire extinguisher)

2. remove stove knobs (since the childproof covers obviously don't work)

3. never keep anything on the stove

4. always pee with the door open so I can hear ALL noises

5. never take my eyes off of a ridiculously smart 2 year on a mission for some cupcakes

6. always eat cupcakes immediately after they enter the house because you never know what will happen to them
