Giggles

Today is a beautiful day out. The sun is shining, it's warm... it's the kind of day that is sure to have many cars being washed. I am not going that far but washing the windshield comes to mind and that causes me to remember a very funny incident.

This happened almost two years ago, not long after we bought the Yukon. It was spring; James and I were out running errands and stopped at a traffic light. I hate a dirty windshield so I was cleaning it off with the wipers and washer fluid that comes out through the wiper blades. The washer fluid was spraying pretty far (but then the Yukon has a huge windshield) and I pressed the button several times. Just then James tells me to stop cuz it's hitting the fellow in the car next to us. This guy had been enjoying the wonderful warm weather with his window down and was getting a shower from my washer fluid spray! He was hopping mad and I was surprised. As much as I felt bad about spraying this guy, it was all I could do to keep from laughing in front of him. Luckily the light finally turned green and we all went on our way but I still giggle and laugh whenever I think about this little incident. I couldn't have done better if I'd tried!

It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want To... cuz we were all laughing so hard!

What a busy week it has been. We celebrated my birthday early, on the 8th. Everyone came over and we had a blast. Blasts start with super yummy food ya know... we had turkey and all the trimmings, cake and ice cream. Yah, super yummy food is pretty much standard issue for Moseley parties. Then as we gathered together to open presents, the little ones started showing off.

We're all just sitting there and all of the sudden Sami hops up on James' shoulders like an expert trapeze gymnast. He was a little surprised but took it all in stride... he's such a good uncle. Next thing he knows he can hardly breathe with Sami's hands clamped over his face in a death grip and with kicks in the ribs to get a move on. Sami clearly thought she was riding her favorite bronco. Just look at that adorable smile.

Addie got in on the action too making faces with her hands. Then she started terrorizing all of us with her roars. Addie made sure each member of the family was scared to death as she told each of us "RAWR" and we dutifully showed our terror. However, when Addie went up to Auntie, she must have lost her nerve because her roar became quite timid, "er, er... rawr?" Oh my gosh, we laughed till our sides hurt. Encouraged by all our laughter, Addie continued her reign of terror the rest of the evening.

Thursday we went to Desert Star for the hilarious show "Home School Musical" starring Zach Teflon, Amanda Hugginkiss, Linoleum Dynamite, LaVelcro Edwards, and Palmyra Kirtland. It's truly a delightful show and runs through March 21, 2009.

Friday I spent my actual birthday getting stuff done that I've wanted to do, like pinning a couple quilts so I can move on with the stitching. I also had fun transporting Tasha from Bountiful to Aunties. The day ended with a nice dinner out at the Magic Wok.

Saturday, 4 of the 5 family members with a February 13th birthday got together for lunch at grandma's. There was me and dad, grandma and grandpa, Alice and Jeremiah, and Todd and Dori. Everyone brought the required super yummy food for a Moseley bash and we had a great time eating and visiting. I hadn't seen Todd in a while and don't recall ever meeting his wife Dori so that was quite a nice treat. It's been a wonderful week for all it's busy-ness cuz this is the kind of busy I like. Bonus, a friend gave me a present at church today. I love when my birthday lasts all week!

Oh, the things you can think up if only you try!

A couple days ago James took up hanging out on the top of the wall between the stairs. Today I caught him playing games on his cell phone while hanging out on the wall and was able to capture it on camera. He makes it look so comfy but I'm quite sure it's not... or wouldn't be if I tried it! I'd probably fall on my head.
