chocolate chip cookies....

As I am here at the computer checking my emails, the babies are asleep, YAY! My WONDERFUL hubby is baking chocolate chip cookies. It has been a new routine of his the past month. He bought a tub of Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie dough, the kind sold at Costco. Each night after the babies are in bed I think the tub calls to him "Bake me, Bake me!" haha! It must talk a good game because without fail he bakes us cookies. If I gain 20 lbs I will stop calling him "WONDERFUL", ha! Anyhow, I am smelling something other than the aroma of chocolate chip cookies. It sort of smells Yucky & I make a mental note that the oven needs cleaned when a LOUD annoying alarm sounds in the house. Remember the babies are asleep & this noise is DEAFENING! I run to the kitchen to find that our "heat detector" felt it was too hot in the kitchen so it went off. I search for anything I can find to fan this thing so it will no longer think it is "hot". I am waving this BIG blue plastic lid from a storage bin up & down which I'm sure was quite a sight for our neighbors!! hahah! Someone somewhere decided we should have this in OUR kitchen. It should be written that a "smoke" detector, not a "heat" detector is required in a kitchen especially above a stove. I want to know when there is a FIRE not when the oven is on high! I cannot tell you how many times this alarm has scared Dustyn & most recently the babies. I am happy to say that the babies were not phased. They must be used to alarms from their NICU days. They slept thru the ENTIRE ordeal. That may be a bad thing if there ever is a fire. We are going to have to work on this!! For now we are going to eat our...
