the adventures of daddy pool

let me set this story up for you. this story might make you wonder what kind of crazy people we are...just want you to know...that is how we roll.

ryan has this newly found obsession with collecting small figurines and collections of toys acquired from her bff izzy. izzy has mounds of little figures. now that is all ryan plays with...also, they are hard to come by too...she does have an awesome fraggles in cars from her Grandma nancy...she kept every toy tucker ever had i think...so, hence the pictures below.



okay, so i really like this pic...these frogs can literally be found in any room of our house.

see how she puts them in rows?? is this the beginning of ocd? our family already has enough crazy to go around...like we need ocd too!

anyhoo, those of you who don't know we have an antique heater in our house...which is called a floor furnace. i seriously want to meet the crazy who thought of floor furnaces. last year, we got to spend a couple hours in the ER because ryan stepped on the furnace for a millisecond and listened to a doctor tirade of how i should learn to baby proof our house and that includes putting bleach up on a high shelf...all those fun first-aid classes courtesy of Head Start training was actually used!! anyways, i am a little off subject.

well, our land lord, learned of ryan's hospital trip and found an old port-a-crib top from 1965 to place around the heater....yet, it would move when ryan pushed it...now it has d-rings to help keep it in place....that would be daddy pool's idea...he has lots of ideas. next, paw paw pool realized ryan could throw stuff in the port-a-crib "gate" so he had one of his employee's make this table looking thing with mesh on the top. thanks paw paw pool.

sometimes....just sometimes toys still get dropped on the furnace. one frog nearly lost its right eye if i hadn't been so observant ryan would have one less frog.

this is where the story begins. daddy pool and i watched heroes (ALWAYS)...the furnace wasn't on but i realized there was a plastic block that had slipped through the cracks and a couple ninja turtles on the mesh top...i forgot to remove these possible melting objects before hitting the hay. after heroes, i went to bed and daddy pool did some stuff. well, daddy pool was awakened by lil ry and decided he was cold. since this was at 5 in the morning...daddy pool doesn't think at 5 in the morning...sometimes i wonder if daddy pool actually thinks?? like the time he stabbed his leg with a knife.

well, most women know towards the end of pregnancy sleep isn't a part of your life. i got up to use the rest room and grab a drink of water when i stepped out..i noticed some smoke. i smelled BURN. i panic calling out "tucker tucker tucker tucker wake up wake up wake up"...i have to repeat myself periodically...it's now a part of my life. he jumps up...i turn on the light and the whole house was filled with smoke...right then 4 fire alarms went off!!! looking at the furnace there was melted block. these are the remains::












what is kind of sad...these were becoming part of the grouping collection process ryan is going through. this happened to be her favorite block cause it had sleeping alligators on it...needless to say all the windows were left open and daddy pool is in the search of finding little ry a new set of blocks.
