2. Don't trust your cooking thermometer when testing hot oil.
3. Don't store your fire extinguisher above your stove.
4. If the salt, baking soda and lid fail to control the flames...get out!
5. Smoke spreads quickly throughout your house when the air conditioner is on.
6. Your phone call to 911 only works until the phone burns.
7. When firemen find a hot spot, they make a hole.
8. There is a lot of laundry to wash after a fire when there are 10 people in your home.
9. 2 months is a long time to live in a small condo...it's only been 6 days!
10. Your "stuff" is replaceable, your family is not...we are so blessed we are all safe.
Looks a little bit like a Red Cross commercial doesn't it?! (complete with the little bears they gave the kids)

OH MY GOSH! Katie I feel so terrible that I didn't know this happened! Please let me know ASAP what we can do for you and your family! As if the many trips to the hospital lately aren't enough--now THIS? I seriously have tears in my eyes thinking of you right now! I will try to reach you this week--but seriously--let me know what we can do to help clean up or whatever. I am SO sorry!
I had no idea! How scary! Were all your kids home? I want a few more details!
And I don't know where you're staying and how much space you have, but our guesthouse is available, has a queen bed, two bedrooms (one's empty, but it's great for rolling out sleeping bags or whatever), bathroom, and a full kitchen stocked with all the dishes, etc., if you need a place to stay. And I mean it. Call me. 229-5840 is my cell.
And you can let your kids swim whenever they want!
Oh goodness! I couldn't imagine how bad the damage was, but that is crazy! I'm so sorry. I hope the rebuilding and everything goes quickly!
Katie, I haven't paid much attention to fb lately and haven't read the blogs, but Kari told me you had a fire so I checked it out! My goodness, you have really had a time of it. Wish we were closer so we could help you. Hope you can get things fixed up quickly and that those babies stay healthy. I never heard back from you about the health questions. Call me if you need to.
AAHHHHHHH!! How totally scary! Anything we can do let us know!
