FIRE, PRIVACY, & EVERYTHING ELSE

Alright so I am sure you all want to know about the FIRE first....



OK, so yesterday I was so excited to get out some Halloween decorations :) I put one of my newest on the top of the entertainment center...and then I lit it...that was all around 11:00. SO we go through the day I forget all about it...Then I remember seeing it and thinking I need to put that out before I go to bed...then Daniel and I went down stairs to flip laundry. We came up and went to bed...NOT EVEN THINKING TWICE ABOUT THE CANDLE...So around 2:30 I wake up to the smoke alarm and we open our door to a hall filling with smoke...



For some reason (let your mind wander if you wish) I slept in the buff last night. So when I got up to see what was going on I grabbed a shirt to wave at the smoke alarm. Yeah, so standing there naked waving the shirt at the alarm....



In the mean time....D goes to blow out the (THANK GOD) small fire and it jumps up like a grease fire....crappy candles from Wal-Mart. So he has to get the hot mitts and carry it to the kitchen to get it out with flour. At this point I am still in the buff holding L and rocking him to sleep. MANY, MANY, MANY thanks to GOD that there was NO damage to the entertainment center, there is NO smoke stuff on the wall or ceiling, only one of my children woke up, and NO ONE WAS HURT...PRAISE TO GOD.



So on the the next item for conversation....

PRIVACY SETTINGS....On November 1st I will be changing my privacy settings. I have many reasons for it and some of you I have shared those reasons with and also I read disturbing articles about people using blog photographs for kid porn, advertising with out permission, (like the 1st reason is not good enough to shut the whole thing down), and this article was also upsetting...so please email me and I will add you to view our family blog. Sorry, but I feel it is for the protection of my children. So you can email me @ jennifer.feagans@gmail.com



EVERYTHING ELSE....

For starters...here is a very cute photo of P-Man and the Tigger on our front porch...

He can be such a cutie and such a stinker all at the same time....

Our Halloween Costume line up this year is....M will be Dorothy from the Wizard of OZ, P is going to be Bob the Builder, and L is going to be a pumpkin!!! So look for photos of that...I am sure it will be interesting.

Also, here is a confession I have to confess....I don't know why I have not shared this with you in the past, maybe b/c it is a sign of weakness (to me), and I have issues with that...so here it is...I am on Weight Watchers (WW) well, I should say I have the books and I weigh in at home. I don't go to meetings, and there are still VERY few people who know. But I started on the first day of school and I have lost a total of 12 as of today! I am excited!!!

Also, I want to thank everyone who commented on the "Church Sunday" post. It is nice to know I am not the only one out there that thinks those thought on a regular basis!! Kim, I would love to be a SSR of yours if you let me take a peek!!
