Mission Statement

Mmmmm.... good!

So... yesterday Keili and Davey come running downstairs to tell Nic and I that they found a "thalomaner" which is how keili said it, but then Davey informed us it was a salamander. They were so excited. They found it in the window well. Well, Dave decided to BBQ some veggies, hamburgers and hotdogs. When he finished them he placed them on the plate. When I walked in with Nicole to eat, I looked at this plate and was like, "that looks like a salamander, Dave, you cooked the salamander" (knowing it was really eggplant). Davey was standing there and goes "What? DAD!!! UGH! Did you cook the salamander!?!?" Dave said yes, and told Davey that Salamanders are good. The look on his face was classic. He was so distraught. It was so funny. Davey then proceeded to get upset and I believe that tears started to well up so we told him that it wasn't the salamander. He didn't believe us at first. It took a while of convincing before he would fully believe that was not the salamander he found. Then at dinner, Nic and I couldn't even bring ourselves to eat the eggplant cause it really did look like a skinned salamander.

  1. That is hilarious! Hey, I wanted to let you know that if you're coming to the Reunion this year at Fishlake, we are doing skits again. If you would like to participate in a skit (you don't have to), please bring at least 1 prop. They will be impromptu skits--so any prop that you think would be fuuny will work great. It can be big or small. The last time we did this it turned out so so funny. Hope to see you there!

  2. Yuck! Poor traumatized kids! LOL! It really doesn't look appetizing after hearing the story :0) We had such fun on Saturday. Thanks for entertaining us and our kids. Your family is truly wonderful and we feel so comfortable around you all. BTW- It only took 1 hour to get home. Not bad when it's midnight with no traffic :)
