Last night at bedtime, I saw my 3 year old brushing the dog in the kitchen with my hairbrush. I was not happy. Even though our border collie Molly is a great dog, I don't like dogs much. I don't like their hair or their smell, so to see my brush full of dog hair... Uhggg. I put Greta in bed, cleaned out the brush, and set it in a pan of water to sanitize it. I turned on the burner and went to check on kids in bed. I didn't come back into the kitchen after reading a story and turning off lights. Adam was awake and Mike and I were playing with him in our room when we heard the smoke detector go off. Ooops. Mike threw the pan on the back porch and opened the doors to get the terrible burnt plastic smell out. We spent the rest of the evening back in our room; thank goodness the bedrooms are away from the kitchen. Only Jonas was awake and heard the alarm- I think if we really had a fire and had to get out of the house, Mike and I would be carrying 4 sleeping children out.

It's amazing what kids will sleep through!
But if you were to say open up some ice cream or can of soda or start whispering - they instantly appear.
Hahaha! I feel the same way about dogs, so I probably would have done the same thing. I actually burned bottles on the stove once. Gotta love that burned plastic smell.
I'm totally not a dog person either. You are good to even allow one in the house. Logan loves dogs and wants one so badly, but he knows he will never have once because, "Mommy doesn't like doggies."
