Easter Sunday

Gotta tell these hilarious stories from Easter yesterday involving my nephew Gavin (he's 2). My family is still sitting at the dinner table chit chatting while Gavin is permitted to go in the backyard. There's a little playground back there he likes to play on that is in perfect view through a big window situated right in front of the dinner table in the dining room. The following all took place within maybe 30 minutes. Sooo much funnier to see in person of course.

First, we noticed him casually walking to the playground...which would have been fine if he didn't have a hammer in his hand he apparently found that my other brother left out. So Spencer (Gavin's daddy) opens the door to retrieve it and as soon as Spencer says "Gavin, come here", Gavin is running to the playground fully aware that he is now doing something he isn't supposed to and proceeds to hide in the covered part of the playground thinking he out smarted daddy. Funny thing about Gavin is when he knows he has something he shouldn't, he'll normally throw whatever he has in an effort to dispose of the evidence before he hides. I think the hammer may have been a little too heavy to throw, thank goodness. By the way, the rest of the family is all snickering while watching through the window.
Then, maybe five minutes later, Spencer retrieves gardening prunes from Gavin who was chasing the neighbors cat. Priceless.
After inspecting the yard for any other things he shouldn't play with, he's released back outside.
So he's playing on the playground when someone notices he pulled his pants down ( a new fun trick he likes to pull). So everyone looks out the window as he starts to run towards the house with his pants around his ankles when he totally eats it in the grass. And then he gets up and makes it to the back door where Spencer is waiting to pull up his pants. Everyone is roaring with laughter in the house. It was too funny watching him try to run with his movements being limited by the pants around his ankles. You could really see the determination on his face. I don't know where these kids come up with this stuff, but talk about entertaining!

Eyebrows

Okay, so part of the Tag post I revealed my lack of eyebrows and was disappointed with the lack of sympathy! boo hoo... So I'm putting it to a vote. Would you rather have crazy out of control eyebrows you have to constantly maintain, or would you rather have to draw them on every day because you have none?

First I'm going to whine. Let me just say that I wasn't born with nothing. Mine start and have a little color, but then they go very thin and blonde, almost like fuzz. In fact, my mom, dad and both sisters don't have hardly any but my brothers both have friggin forests growing on their foreheads. And it doesn't help that i have my dad's fat forehead. thanks dad. So because the beginning of my eyebrow does have some color, I'm still stuck having to pluck part of them to keep the shape of that part of the brow. And it takes a good 15 minutes to draw on. Not to mention how careful i have to be to put on or take off clothes so they don't wipe off. And then there are the pet peeve questions about shaving them... idiots. And then the question, how do you get them so perfect?? Oh.. i don't know... i guess from having to DRAW THEM ON FOR THE LAST TEN PLUS YEARS!! Duh! Seriously, you should see some of the prehistoric pictures of my adolescence when I was still trying to figure out how to draw them on and making them look real. I won't lie.. they're kind of disturbing pictures.

Yet another PSA

Okay, so I won't mention any names to protect the innocent since this was in no way an intended act to harm anyone. So someone decided to go to the car during Sunday School to go over a talk they would be giving in Sacrament (our church schedule is backwards so we end with Sacrament). Apparently during that hour, this person needed to relieve themselves of some seriously nasty gas. Hey, there was no one else in the car, no harm done, right?? Wrong!!! So after church I climb into the very same car with this person to go home. Almost instantly I jumped back out of the car. I can't even begin to explain the nastiness that had over an hour to ripen in the car before I met my fate. It was so potent I swear I could almost taste it. Sooo nasty! Even though this person did think to slightly crack the windows, the fresh oxygen that should have flowed in was no match to the Bog of Stench (anyone seen Labrynth? lol).
PSA - If you gotta let one rip, do NOT do it in an area that might cause it to linger longer and ripen.
PSA #2 - Don't take a chance on letting one rip on the OFF chance it won't stink.
