Last night I made Ramen Noodles for this kids bedtime snack, I told Tre to let me know when it started boiling and so he did, I asked him to turn off the burner. I went in there and dished out the noodles for all 4 of them. we finished our routine and went to bed. I slept upstairs last night because it is so much easier with Gary being on 2nds, then we don't tend to wake him up the next morning. I heard him in the middle of the night come upstairs and go to each child's room, then he comes in where I was sleeping so I tried to wake up and ask what's wrong, he said when he got home the downstairs part of the house was full of gas, he didn't know how it didn't explode, he opened all the doors and turned on fans ( we have double doors and back door close to kitchen) then came to see if we were still alive and breathing...looking back I remember yesterday when I turned that burner off there was still a blue flame very tiny but still I had to blow on it to get it out. I don't know which burner it was I will have to ask Gary when he wakes. Then see if it wasn't that burner if any of the kids touched the stove or wiped up their noodle mess and might have turned on the gas without knowing.... Anyways, I am just very thankful that we are all alive today, it could very well have been a different outcome, if this was a small house then we would for sure be dead because, it had been on for over 5 hours....kinda odd cause I normally smell gas right off, as I am still a little paranoid using it...with good reason I guess.....every night Ethan makes me pray over him before bed, and one of our prayers is that God keeps us safe while we sleep, last night He answered that prayer in a very big way.
Wow! Glad it all turned out alright! It's sure nice to know when God watches over us, even when we are unaware of the danger... Still scary, though.. (shiver) So glad you all are alright! :)
