Just the average weekend

This weekend I spent most of my time cleaning, sewing, organizing, baking, and extinguishing. Yes that's right- extinguishing. On Saturday I had a baking frenzy going on in my kitchen and I made 4 loaves of bread in two batches, a loaf of zucchini bread and 2 batches of zucchini muffins, blueberry muffins, and a few other things. I was on a roll and after sampling them all I am a roll, and I had dishes all over the place. I didn't have a clean baking item left in my kitchen and when I finished it was getting late so I lazily just let the dishes go. I always take Sundays off from all things domestic so this morning I woke up to quite the dish mountain. I loaded the dishwasher and things were going great until the "heat dry". I was happily blog surfing away when I smelled something burning. I peeked around the corner to see billowing smoke coming from my dishwasher. Here's the culprit- Exhibit A

This spoon got wedged somehow under the racks and on the heating element. My house really stinks like burnt plastic and electrical fire. At least we're all o.k. and I was home so I could put it out. I envisioned myself like the pied piper of baked things and while I was going to walk Ashlyn to school I was going to spread some muffin love over the neighborhood later today. Now they smell like junk yard tires on fire so I guess I'll have to spread the joy another time. Jeremy will be so sad he missed it- what is it with little boys and fire? Life is never boring at my house!
