A scary story for Halloween

I have a phone horror story for you! Halloween just seems like the perfect day to post about it!

Prologue (Back ground info on the story)

So I have been trying to sell my baby grand piano, as some of you may know. We had a guy say he wanted to buy it and gave us a check with the understanding he would give us cash instead when he came to pick it up. Well it has been two weeks and we have heard NOTHING from him! We even tried to call him and the number is dis-connected. We did have a 'back up plan' though. There was another person who was really interested in the piano. When we sold it this second gentleman said to keep his number and if the deal fell through to give him a call. We will call this man BOB.

Chapter 1...

I gave BOB a call on Thursday (yesterday) morning. I let him know who I was and what I was calling for. BOB was very excited that he was going to get a chance at the piano. He told me he needed a minute to find a pen and paper so he could write down directions to our house. No big deal.. right? After a bit BOB has apparently had no luck getting to a pad and pen. He then tells me the following
"You caught me as I was getting out of the shower. My house is set up in such a way that there are lots of windows and my neighbors will see me if I try to streak to where the pen and paper are."

HELLO!!???? I DO NOT want to know that you are NAKED!!!!!!

So I am on the phone.... a bit stunned... not knowing whether to laugh out loud or vomit... and holding the phone out from my ear a little farther. I tell him.... some what stuttering
"Well... if you need to call me back in a minute that would be just fine..... " Translation- "I don't like talking to NAKED guys!!!!"

He THEN says "No it is fine I have a robe right here... ah... there we go.. now I can go get the pen and paper!"

EEEEKKK!! I am just scrunching my eyes shut at this point in time thinking "I don't need the play by play!!!!" UGH. So yeah... interesting experience.... to say the least. Then there is the slight detail that he is now coming to my HOUSE to see my PIANO!

The End-

BOB shows up tonight to see the piano. BOB IS FAT!!!!!!! EEEEWWWW. He is old and fat!!!! YUCK!!! Like so fat he is almost round and walks with his hands poking straight out the sides. Now I know I will DEFINITELY have nightmares tonight!!!

..............................................................................................

Tomorrow I will try to post picts of my cute little trick or treaters and tell you about the LARGE treat that dad and I got while out trick or treating! But for tonight enjoy my horror story and don't have bad dreams!!

Copper mine fun

So that last post of mine was just too funny. I have had a really hard time wanting to make another post. Anything I have to say just seems too boring!

Alas.... I am back to blog for you anyway... even if it isn't as funny as my last one! (hey... we can't all be as funny as Kieran all the time!)

Speaking of Kieran..... We went to the copper mine today! Amalyssa has really been wanting to go see "The big hole" (as she calls it) So we though it would be fun to go see it with Heber... and his family of course :)

I am SUPER tired so I am not going to say to much, just let you enjoy the slide show. It was a fun afternoon and a nice excuse to go enjoy the great weather! Thanks for joining us Kieran! (oh and just for Kieran's info.... it takes 3 minutes to get to my house from where we parked! lol)

Oh yeah... I almost forgot. I added some random, non coppermine related, photos to the slide show. I did the Christmas cards for a card swap and I was just so proud of them!!! Since they were a bit difficult to make you arent all getting one for Christmas... so enjoy them here! lol. The book marks was another little craft project I did for Scott's cub scouts. Wanted to show them off... because I liked them!!!

ENJOY!

Got Pants?

Moments like this are why I blog and scrapbook.

Really... is there more for me to say??? Nope... I am still to busy LAUGHING!

Playing catch up

Well I have had a completely eventful week! Really... A LOT has been going on. I have wanted to blog about 3 times a day... however.. when evening falls, the kids are in bed, and I have time to blog...I am to stinking tired to care!!!! LOL

So... you get a slide show to catch you up instead. We painted our pumpkins for the year and I put up some pictures of those. I bough both the kids new Sunday outfits for the coming season. On Sunday they both were dressed up and cuter than ever so I took a bunch of pictures of them. When I was outside with Braden I told him "Show me your handsome!" and he stuck his tongue out at me! (does anyone else have trouble remembering how to spell tongue or is it just me!??) Since Amalyssa had a sparkly new dress and new shoes she let me do her hair up special! Isn't it cool!!! I was pretty happy with how it turned out! Kieran thought it looked much harder than it was. I got it off this great hair blog that I love! I need to put it up on my side bar... but not tonight!

Hope you like the pictures. Sorry that I am to tired to tell you all about my crazy day on Monday selling the piano, or about the lady that skanked me in Arctic Circle, or about my crazy spending spree at Hobby Lobby today (though I will say... stuff does not make you happy... but it sure put a smile on my face today!).

I will tell you quick about Amalyssa's prayer Monday night.... then I am off to bed. On Monday I posted our piano for sale on KSL... well.. it was a hot item.. I was on the phone ALL STINKING DAY!!!!!! I apologized to Amalyssa several times that I couldn't play with her or even give her attention. I hardly stole a minute to microwave some lunch for the poor kids! That evening at dinner Scott asked her to say the prayer. In her prayer she said "and please bless mom that she will stop being on the phone so much to sell the piano and that she will be able to play with me." It was so sweet!!! Her prayer was answered too, sold the piano the next day... NO MORE PHONE CALLS! YAY!

Ok... and now to the photos! Enjoy!
