THE GRINSTEAD FAMILY

FIRETRUCKS!

So, last night my friend Kristin & I were at the kid's school working on mixing Jake's Talent Show song (his group is doing the Evolution of Dance 2, you can find it on www.youtube.com). We use the program Garage Band, which is loaded on a Mac in the school's computer lab. We sent the boys outside to play & Allie stayed in the lab with us playing on the computer.

Out of nowhere, we heard an alarm & initially we thought one of the boys had tried to open Kristin's classroom door & set off an alarm. We went to the hall & found it filled with smoke & the fire alarms going off.

Allie was freaking out,& when the boys heard the alarms, they ran into the building (yes, we talked about NOT going into a building suspected to be on FIRE). We found that someone had burned popcorn in their microwave causing the building to fill with smoke & setting off the alarms. No problem! EXCEPT the fire department was immediately alerted and sent numerous trucks & firefighters to the scene. The remaining staff members greeted the firemen and told them the story and they left.

So, it was an eventful evening at school last night! We did get most of the CD made though & hope to finish it up on Saturday...barring any other popcorn incidents!
