Neighborhood excitement ...

Last Friday the house across the street from us burned down. We were in the midst of a severe snow storm, complete with high winds, lightning, thunder, snow, etc. The power was out, and to boot Shawn had stripped all the remaining wallpaper off the living room walls earlier in the day ... so all our furniture was in the center of the room, the coffee table, couch table, and baby swing were in the kitchen waiting to go into the attic, and there were wallpaper strips all over the living room floor! We had the neighbors whose house was on fire in our living room, the family next door to them, the fire chief coming in and out, and the girls didn't even blink an eye. Katie was a wonderful host to the two little girls, and wasn't frightened at all with all the commotion. And in the midst of it all, she decides she needs to work on her potty training, announcing three times that she needs to potty and one time that she needs to poop! Ah, the impeccable timing of little girls LOL!
