Waiting for My New Stove
Thank you for all of your birthday wishes for Sawyer. Y'all are sweet.
Yesterday morning I took Sawyer (in his new fall outfit) to have his portrait taken. He didn't want to smile. He smiled one-half of a smile in one photo. In the rest of the photos he just stared at the crazy lady trying to make him smile. Oh well. I bought him a soccer ball while we were out (because I forgot to give him his present in the morning before the kids left for school and Joe left for work).
Last night to celebrate we had blueberry muffins, Dibs (just because they were in the freezer) and Combos (just because they were in the cabinet). Then he opened his present. We're having a little family get-together on Sunday afternoon at our house.
Today I'm getting a new stove. Our "old" stove is only six years old. In the above photo you see an empty spot on our wall. There used to be a kitchen cabinet there (a KraftMaid custom cabinet) ... until Sunday when it broke apart and fell off the wall!
All I can say is Thank Goodness!!! that no one was injured. Taylor and I were standing there when it happened. The other children were eating lunch and Sawyer was napping (another Thank Goodness!!!). Taylor jumped out of the way and it landed where he was standing. It also landed in the very spot Sawyer eats when he's in his highchair. If he hadn't been napping ... I don't want to think about it. It makes me sick. Sick!
When it fell, the cabinet door did this:
to our ceramic-top stove. Ouch! We didn't even notice it at first. There were a lot of frightened children and there was food and glass (and bits of cabinet) everywhere. It wasn't until I was going through the debris on the floor that I noticed a strange object on the floor. It looked like glass. It felt like glass. But it had a funky speckled pattern on it ... Then it hit me. It was the stove top.

Now I wish it would have hit the TV and missed our stove. It would have been less costly that way.

And...what a disaster (the falling cabinet). What a relief that nobody got hurt!!!!
I hope the birthday boy had a fun day!
glad no one was hurt but i can feel the stress for you. it's just not a happy situation.
Hope Sawyer's birthday was good! :)
BWW
So, Kraftmaid you say? That's the same as my cabinets and now I'm nervous they're all going to start crashing down.
Who installed them?
I'm going to go home and freak out now.
I like Sawyer's gift. I like the name of the store better...gummylump.com!
Hope you all have lots of fun on Sunday.
Hey, at least you get a new stove out of the deal. ;o)
My DH said that my DS2 couldn't have anymore birthdays. Everytime one comes around, we have to buy a big appliance. On the other hand, I now have a new fridge and hot water heater. LOL
