Candles are just too much fun

This is what happens when a couple of goons decide to let their candles flare til they snuff themselves out. We expected them to all be out when we woke up the next day... then after breakfast and lunch and then once we got back from grocery shopping.

But they burnt on!

Eventually over 18 hours after lighting the plate of candles the fiance put them out of their misery!

That's not the whole of it-some of the wax got voted off the glass-island...

It was pretty easy to remove the hardened wax but we were certainly surprised at the large wax-spill in the fireplace. We didn't feel silly at all until we took a huge wax chunk from the hearth and plopped it onto the dinner table for inspection-fanning soot all over the table.

Genius.
