Fireman in a can

The other day while I was cooking, I noticed two cans on the underside of my stove hood. they are attached to the vents on the hood. I was curious what they were, because I've never seen such a thing. The cans read "Fireman in a can." Supposedly, if you have a stove top fire, you just pull the tabs on the can and two hot firemen pop out to fight the blaze. At least that is what I was picturing. If only!

Two years ago, Sara gave Colleen a little pink guitar for Christmas. On occasion Colleen will get in a music making mode, pull out the guitar and just play and sing. Sometimes the songs are super funny with catastrophic endings. So Mary Catherine Gallaghar. Really funny. This morning though, she was singing a song that went a little something like this: "ohhhh, shake in your beautiful day. yeah, dance in your beautiful day. Shake, shake, shake, in your beautiful day, because its such a beautiful day." It just made me happy all day long. Such a cheery song.

Today I drove the van through a much needed car wash without much thought. Poor little Nolan was scared to death as the soap covered all the windows and the high pressure wash blasted the van. Poor guy. I feel terrible as I could do nothing, but watch him scream and cry in terror. I did remember a bag of fruit snacks I had in my purse. He stopped crying long enough to take bites of gummy goodness.
