FiveKats: January 2009

So we have been teaching the boys to cook. Every child should know before they get out on their own right. Well my kitchen usually looks like a hurricane hit it, I guess you could say the that's true X's 3. Hurricane Dylan, Hurricane Cole & Hurricane Gabe, in no particular order. LOL. So they have their favorite things to make, but last week Gabe decided he wanted to make Quesadilla's, while he was looking for the tortilla's he placed his pan on the stove and started to heat the pan. In the mean time he calls me because he can't find the tortilla's. Mind you I am on a call with a customer at work and can't get to the phone when he calls. I send him a text a little later and let him know if we have any where they will be. Turns out we didn't have any, man what a drag. So Gabriel goes and finds something else to do, I believe he went to watch TV. Now I know all you parents out there are thinking ok what about the pan on the stove. Yupp he COMPLETELY forgot about it. Now about an hour or so later the boys are all watching TV and they hear a big CRACK! Yupp our nice fairly new flat top stove shattered. I can imagine the tension in the air, poor kids. I am surprised he didn't have a heart attach. After discussing having to put $300 -$400 plus into replacing the flat top surface and the last thing we wanted is another glass top that will possibly break in a week or even another 4 years, we decided to buy a gas stove. I have to say I have a little apprehension about using gas, but I love the way it cooks so I am really excited as well! Well, Gabe will be able to tell his story forever he will always be able to say ya when I was 13 I cracked my parents stove and I survived. We did get a very nice set of Ginsu knives out of the deal so he is very excited about that! Crazy kids. Gotta love em, they keep you on your toes and keep life Very interesting! What we do with out them.
