A whole lot of laughs

Yesterday I cut Ethans hair. We went to Walmart and he kept talking about his new haircut. The conversation went something like this:

Ethan: Mom..everyone is going to look at me and tell me how cool I look.

Me: REALLY?

Ethan: MOM...can we go over to someone's house so they can tell me my hair looks cool.

A lady that was shooping then looked over at us and said to Ethan: WOW...your hair looks so cool. She was so funny and she picked up on things very quickly. She then told me she had just saved me. YES SHE DID. PHEW. Someone noticed his hair and told him it was cool. He didn't mention it after that. YES!!!!!


Mayah, at one time, was potty trained. She does pretty good during the day but almost always pee's at night. SO we have to keep her in pullups. She hadn't yet changed into her pull up and I was laying with her in her toddler bed (I know..funny sight) when she said: Mom....I pinkie promise not to pee the bed tonight (she really wanted to try going without her pullup). She had her hand in a fist and used the other hand to pry her pinkie away to show me it was really a serious pinkie promise. So I couldn't resist a pinkie promise. AT 2:30 in the morning she came in my room crying and telling me she had pee'd the bed. :)

Last night we were talking about haircuts. A few weeks ago Don gave Caleb a haircut and well....ummm....it was a little rough. Caleb didn't want it short but somehow Don messed up and HAD to cut it short. Caleb wasn't too happy. SO last night Zach was asking for a haircut and Don said he was done cutting hair. He wasn't about to cut anyone else's hair. Then Zach said: But Dad I thought you said we weren't supposed to quit or give up (ahhh good one Zach). Then Don asked Zach if he was going to be his guinea pig. Ethan got really excited and ran over to Don and said, "I WILL BE YOUR SKINNY PIG. It was hilarious. Ethan didn't quite get it when we were trying to explain to him what a guinea pig was. Too cute.

Last night I made some homemade pot pie. Don loves it and it is one of his favorites that I make. I actually made two. I was all proud of myself because I had done something different this time. I used part of the extra dough from the crust to make a design on the top. I made it and put it in the oven to bake. When it came out I was very pleased with the results. I called Don over to take a look and it surpsrised me when the look on his face was a bit of a shock. I thought he would really compliment me on it. But his eyebrows kind of raised and his eyes got a bit bigger than I expected. Then he asked "what is that supposed to mean?" Little did I know was that he had forgotten that I was taking food over to a family in the ward.

There is a couple in our ward who has been trying unsuccesfully to get pregnant for 7 years. Finally, they were chosen as adoptive parents. They were able to adopt a baby boy last week. I had written BABY on the top of the pot pie. I didn't even think twice that this could have been a huge misunderstanding. Don thought I was making an announcement. So funny. I got a good laugh out of that one.

I read online that laughing causes you to lose a few calories. It said it wasn't good enough to skip the gym or to dig into an icecream cone but it did say 10-15 minutes of laughing would burn the amount of calories that are in a small square piece of chocolate. YUM.
