Makes Me Think Of...

The trivia question makes me think of another popular subject at family mealtime: How many uses are there for a shotgun loaded with rock salt? I can think of at least three, easy...

Autumnal Equinox

Folklore says that on the equinox, when the day and night are equal lengths, an egg can be balanced on it's end. I think it's supposed to have something to do with harmony. Dad and I tested it:

It was pretty cool. Mom didn't believe it was really on it's end. Happy Autumnal Equinox!

Good Wholesome F-U-N

Mom and I like to play Scrabble. It's our thing. We're pretty evenly matched, too, so it's always a toss up on who will win.

One of the things we were most looking forward to when she got home was playing Scrabble (the other was snuggling). We encountered a problem, though. I didn't have my own Scrabble board, and Mom's was stuck somewhere in the vast unknown of the house. I'd been wanting my own, though, so I went out to Wal-mart and bought the Scrabble Deluxe Edition (I've wanted it forever). It was a little more expensive than what my friend Jessie calls "the lame-o version," but it was totally worth it. The board has boundaries around the squares so the tiles don't move, and it rotates.

Last night we played an amazing game. We used all the tiles, utilized all the space on the board and came up with some great words. When we were finished, we were so impressed with the board that we took a picture.

That bottom word in the shiny spot is "tongue" (that was mine). I also beat my personal high score. Congratulatory gifts can be purchased here. What can I say? We're Srabble nerds.

Today, we went to Tyler's soccer game. Kianna had one too, but it was earlier and we missed it. I got there just after she'd finished. Doesn't she look great?

She loves Sadie. They're pals.

I did get there in time for Tyler's game, and Mom and Dad came a little later. At first I tried to take pictures, but I couldn't watch the game at the same time, so I gave up. I ended up with a bunch of lousy pictures and this pretty good one:

If you've never been to one of Tyler's sporting events (and you probably haven't) you wouldn't know how athletic he is. I went to a baseball game too, and I was really impressed both times. He's really, really good! He's tough too - I was really proud of him. Dave and Nath are great to watch games with because they get really into it. Nath will probably post her own pictures, but I know she's been really busy, so I thought I would put these up too.

For a last bit of fun, my friend Jessie (I talk about her a lot, I know) introduced me to a great website called Snide Remarks. It's written by Eric D. Snider, who went to BYU. He wrote "Snide Remarks" in The Daily Universe (the campus paper) and later in The Daily Herald (Provo's paper). Now he just publishes them online. He is HYSTERICAL. I highly reccomend him. My favorite column is "I PETA the Fool." When I read it, I was laughing so hard Dale came upstairs to see what all the comotion was about.

Remember, without a little F-U-N, life is B-O-R-I-N-G.

Oh, and I was called to be in the Primary Presidency. Apparantly the bishop in Delta has lost his mind.
