Ok, so i am sitting at Madelyn's gymnastics yesterday.. and i get a phone call. I had left Alyssa and the two boys at home, and gave them a job to clean up the back yard and weed the front. Mark was on his way home from work when i left. When he got home, Riley had taken off to who knows where, so he tasked Logan with the back yard and Alyssa with the front. He then went in the house to take a shower. A few minutes later Logan comes running into the house screaming there is a fire!! Mark is thinking at a neighbors??, down the street?? He opens up the windowto look and our backyard is on fire!! He luckily was able to get it out with the hose and some stomping, and some buckets of water. Logan had gotten a hold of the lighter we used to light the bbq last week, so riley could do his outdoor cooking to earn his wolf badge. He says he was lighting a piece of grass on the patio and it spread to the rest of the grass. It was very windy yesterday. I am very grateful Logan did not get caught in the middle of the fire. He is unscathed. Unfortunately our trampoline has a hole in it. We are also lucky it didnt spread to the neighbors or to a house.
