Allee's Hair

We had an interesting morning at the Taylor household. We were getting ready for school and Rick and I had an appointment to do our Taxes (yuck) after dropping the kids out, so the morning was busy! Allee and Evan were ready, Aiden was in the process. Rick was fixing breakfast (juice cups and pop tarts) and I was with Aiden. We have recently cut our heating unit off and have been using our gas wall heater, due to the rising power bill and our poorly insulated older house. Allee, for some odd reason, backed up to the heater to warm. Rick smelled a funny smell and looked up to see her standing to closely. When he told her to move, he saw her beautiful, long blonde hair all singed (or however you spell that) up in the back in a big ball of burned hair! It was awful. After panicking and near tears, I realized it was just hair that would grow back and made the call to MiMi for an emergency haircut. I couldn't get her on the phone and finally resorted to brushing the burned parts out and sending her to school. We are at MiMi's now about to examine the damage. I just praise the Lord that she didn't catch fire. So, be careful! Heaters are still hot, even if they don't touch!!!!! Will post pictures and more details later!
