Minor Kitchen disaster

On a sunny afternoon, while Sam was home from work with Burke (his sitter called out sick), water was boiling on the stove for Sam to make some Cream of Wheat. Burke made some noises upstairs and was waking up from his morning nap. Sam went upstairs and was distracted by Burke needing a diaper change and forgot all about the water. After about 30 minutes, Sam realized that he was boiling water and ran downstairs, leaving Burke upstairs, thank goodness. When he found the dry, extremely hot, pot on the stove, he went to take it off the burner without even thinking and melted metal poured out of the pot, onto the counter and to the floor. It was crazy, a freak accident that was unimaginable. Our kenmore pot had melted, and melted all over the place. Sam was barefoot, but thank goodness only had a minor burn. We were grateful the kids were not there, for if they were, it would probably had burned them. Bristol loves that corner of the kitchen when we are cooking and I just know that is right where she would have been. 

I write this because Bristol has been saying her prayers every night and praying for daddy and that his foot would be okay and that the kitchen would be okay. She will not walk into the kitchen because she is afraid it will burn her. She talks about it with everyone and is so worried and concerned. She keeps asking when we will fix it. Her concern is so sincere and sweet. We were very lucky that everyone is okay, just a new floor and counter will be in our near future!
