The Answer

I was somewhat disappointed in the number of responses to the question about Jeron's "Mac" egg, though I was very impressed with the array of answers! Great job to those who guessed! The real answer is MacGyver. Grandpa Higley loaned Jeron season 1 of MacGyver and he has been watching them religiously ever since. He's hoping to trade Grandpa for season 2 at Aunt Lindsay's wedding this coming weekend. He LOVES MacGyver!

Happy Easter!

We had a GREAT Easter weekend...here is my photo account of most of our activities...

Jeron wrote "Mac" on one of his eggs...any ideas what that might stand for? Leave your guesses in the comments...the winner will receive one dozen hard boiled, colored Easter eggs...no guarantees on their condition when they arrive ;) I'll bet you can't guess who these eggs belong to!? Yes, all of the eggs that this little person dyed were pink...or some close shade!

At the lame Easter Egg Hunt...they line the kids up, say go, and it lasts about 15 seconds.

and not so zoom...the kids passing the time waiting for Dad. I only got a few pictures of Jeremiah racing...I can barely run without killing myself...I couldn't possibly take a picture of myself while running?

Jeron launching foam golf balls into the crowd at the Bighorns game Saturday night. This is one of the perks of being a member of The First Tee of Northern Nevada.

The kids also went to the movies with Grandpa and Holly on Friday night. We had Easter dinner today with Arva, Ron, Holly and Grandpa. It was a fun Easter weekend!

24...or 36, as it were

Isn't he cute?
I've never really gotten into the TV show "24" but I think the 24 is for hours? So, the show takes you through 24 hours in its 1 hour time slot (or 40 minutes, if you take out the commercials)? You fans out there can correct me if I'm wrong...

Anyhow, I'd like to take you through Davis' 36 hours from Tuesday morning wake-up until Wednesday night bedtime...prepare for the adventure...

Hour 1: Davis sprays Orange Pledge Furniture Polish all down the front of himself and all over the kitchen floor. Not knowing whether or not he had ingested any, Dad calls poison control and feels like a negligent parent by the time he's done. Davis survives with no noticeable side-effects.

Hour 3: Davis locates a blue marker, removes the lid and proceeds to draw beautiful pictures all over the wall and carpet by the stairs. Mom catches him in the act.

Hour 5: Davis squirts a puddle of baby lotion all over the floor in my bathroom...to be found and cleaned up later by me.

Hours 6-7: Davis takes a nap...peace!

Hour unknown: Davis finds an orange marker, removes the lid and draws beautiful pictures on the newly painted front room wall. The pictures remain, if anyone would like to come view them...but come soon, as I plan to paint over them when I finish painting the front room.

Hours 12-24: Davis sleeps...night, night!

Hour 26: Davis somehow manages to get the bottle of Bed Head (hair product) off my bathroom counter, remove the lid (it's a twisty...something he's quickly mastering), and pour the entire contents...all $6 worth that's left...onto the bathroom floor. Again, found later by me.

Hour unknown: Davis locates some type of cologne or deodorant and douses himself. I only know because by mid-morning he smells really good! I still haven't figured out what he used.

Hour 30: Davis and Jadee get into mom's candy stash (thanks, Auntie Holly) and find a bag of M&Ms. I am such a cool mom that I let them eat the bag before lunch. Apparently, not nearly enough for Davis (have you seen his belly lately?). He goes back in to the stash (I can't even say "sneaks", because he doesn't know how to do that yet), finds a plastic candy cane full of Hershey's red and green chocolates, literally tears the cane in half, and proceeds to eat every last candy. I think that Jadee helped, but I can't prove it. Too much chocolate and he spits the last bit out on Jadee's pillow...Jadee has a come-apart and comes crying to me. Davis slimes the wall in my bedroom with his chocolaty hands and slobbers all down the front of his clean clothes.

Hours 31-33: Davis naps...

Hour unknown: Davis finds a lost bottle of bubbles in Jeron's room, removes the twisty lid and spills the remaining contents on Jeron's desk. Amazingly, he doesn't get any on the floor! Once again, I find this little mishap later in the day.

The good news is Davis didn't die from Pledge poisoning, the marker washed off of the wall and out of the carpet, the lotion and hair product were spilled on linoleum and easily cleaned up, the pillow case is washable, and the bubbles miraculously stayed on the desk. AND just imagine how much my little curious boy learned in all of those instances. He's brilliant! AND he smells good!

P.S. If I had known what a string of events this was going to turn into...I would have photographed them all...sorry!
