I had trouble sleeping last night, not sure why…I got a chance to take a bit of a break and went with Suzanne and her kids (I had the baby and Trey) to the Supermall. Levi and Carlos had aikido and then my folks picked them up for a day with Nana/Papa where they were going to make pasta and then we would join them later for dinner. The pasta was tasty and the boys had fun making it. They didn’t act up and get crazy until we showed up.
So once we got home, the total meltdown continued until they fell asleep. I had a hard time falling asleep and tossed and turned all night. Morning came very early, as I was up at 5:30 getting ready to leave. I went with Carolyn and Suzanne to a consignment sale in Seattle of families of multiples. I got some things for the baby and a few things for the boys, all in all a fun outing and got some good deals.
I’ve been kind of zombie-ish all day and laid down with the boys to nap. Got up, was hungry and put some popcorn in the microwave. The “popcorn” setting never pops it enough, so I set the timer for 4:30 minutes then TOTALLY forgot that I had even started it. That’s when the house filled with foul smelling smoke and our microwave turned dark yellow inside. I scrubbed it, I scoured it, but it’s still yellow and it smells really nasty. Another one bites the dust. I’ve got a picture I’ll post..but you can basically get a good mental picture. White microwave turned yellow. Only wish the blog had smell-o-vision so you could truly understand the big picture. Yuck! If anyone has ideas on how to get rid of this smell throughout the house….let me know.

Maybe you could try some either vinegar or baking soda. I’m not too good with the domestic stuff but I know that baking soda is supposed to absorb bad smells.
