Thirteen kids and Glass Tables

It's been a busy day (understatement of the year). This morning I had thirteen(?) kids under the age of four racing around in our back yard. No, I wasn't the only one watching them - I am not that crazy! It was loads of fun, and I'll have to do it again some time. Anyway, my busy day didn't end there. Tonight I made dinner. Since it has been so nice outside lately, Mike and I have been having our meals al fresco. Whenever I don't feel like dealing with the hassle of bringing all the dishes outside, Mike reminds me that we have to take advantage of the gorgeous weather NOW! I had set the table and we were munching on our baby back ribs and were about to dive into the corn on the cob when I remembered that I had potatoes sitting in the oven. I quickly ran inside, grabbed them from the oven (wearing oven mitts, of course), and put the dish on the glass table. BAD MOVE! I was about to scoop some potatoes up for Juliet when the entire table shattered with everything on it! Wine glasses, casserole dishes, corn, pasta salad, wine bottle, plates - it was a disaster! I have a few scratches on my legs since I had bare legs and Mike cut his hands during the clean up, but thankfully Juliet is fine since she was not sitting too close to the table. So do yourself a favor, and don't be dumb like me and set piping hot dishes on your glass table without a trivet!
