Burning down the house!

Well I am sorry that I don't have pictures to prove the destruction that I caused today. I was baking taco salad shells in my oven. I was busy talking to Erin and listening for the kids. I decided to put the oven on broil since the shells were getting burnt on the bottom. I turned the oven on broil and I went to check on the Landon and Reed. When I came back, Erin said the oven is smoking. I immediately flipped out. I caught the shells on fire. I couldn't find the fire extinguisher, so I heard that flour helps. Well I threw a full jar of flour in the oven. It only worked long enough for me to grab the pans and throw them outside. Erin threw water on the flaming shells after I got them outside. I thought I had destroyed my house. It was so scary. Erin was so awesome that she helped to clean all the flour out of the oven. Thanks for your help, Erin! I will also find the fire extinguisher tomorrow or I will be purchasing a new one!
