Change

Well...no more nursery. Time to loose the apron and gird up the loins. I'm back in the Young Women's presidency; first counselor which puts me over the 14 and 15 year old girls. And here we go...

Winner Winner Turkey Dinner

There's a large herd of wild turkeys that come by the house every day; the boys decided they'd like to eat one for dinner. (Grandpa says they're pretty good.)

We don't have any "real" guns, so the only way to kill them with these guns is shoot the turkeys directly through the head. Otherwise the pellets would just bounce right off their thick feathers.

Yeah right. (Notice the little initials by the holes?)

Maybe some live practice would be better. (For you worriers, the gun was out of air.)

Then one morning there was a scramble in the kitchen! Michael had spotted the turkeys! He missed. Don't you love the conjunction of girly kitchen items and a man with a gun?

Adam ran to the laundry room. No luck getting them in the head.

Looser Looser Turkey Bruiser.

Minute to Winit

Natalie and Mo planned some relay games for the family to play one evening. It included picking up noodles with a noodle....

racing to put a cereal puzzle together....

which was cearalsy too hard to do in a minute...(get it? Khee hee.) I kill myself.

And fanning eggs across the room and back again with a piece of cardboard (which was a lot like bumper cars only with humans running into things)....

and lastly, a tie breaking game of "how fast can you empty your box one tissue at a time?"

Can you guess who won? We should do this again next year. Totally fun.

Janeway Mom

Since you're a Trekkie, you'll understand why, when I told Mom we should do her hair like Captain Janeway, her expression was one of excitement. "Oh! I love her hair!" (Mom has always liked Janeway's short hairstyle.)

So off to the bedroom we scampered. I don't think I've ever done Mom's hair before. It was fun! We teased, hair sprayed, curled, and hair sprayed some more. What do you say, did we get close?!

I think she totally liked it! Fun!
