wanna dance?

When the doorbell rings at our house the caller is typically greeted by a hyper, love deprived (not!) dog and three plus children running to see who it is. If the doorbell rings after 10pm it's either because we've been toilet papered (AGAIN!) or because a suitor has come hoping to win over a date to the latest dance.

Here are some of the latest gifts that have been found on our doorstep:








Oh, such clever guys! Of course the responses have to be well thought out too. For the first one, Analisa made a cake and spelled the word YES in trick candles which was then surrounded by tons of normal candles. The response said something like, "Your sweet poster sure took the cake, blow out the candles to see if I'm your date!"

The pillow continued to say "... of you and me at Skyline's homecoming!" She had to piece together his initials inside the pillow fluff to find out who it was. She responded by setting off 12 alarm clocks hidden all over his room with the letters Y. E. S. written on them and a note that said, "I know all this noise can seem like quite a disaster, read all the clocks to find your homecoming answer!" Thanks to our super friend Leslie for getting the clocks and to the boys mom for sending him off to the store for milk at 11pm at night thereby giving the girls a chance to sneak into his room.

The kisses were delivered last night for the Olympus High dance. Oh the fun never ends...


You think poor Brett would be use to this by now.

Man, now I'm wondering how (when I'm old enough) I'm going to come up with something crazy that hasn't already been done...but it sounds like so much fun!

Fun stuff!!! Way cute of Sarah and Brett! Spencer left a cookie cake on this girls front porch with a rose. It was her birthday and on the cake was written something asking her to the Mormon prom. It was cute. Randy had all these ideas, but Spencer wanted to keep it simple. That's Spencer!

Neat...that is the fun stuff that is hard to come by here in the big city. Hope the girls have lots of fun. They are probably never short on invitations to outings.
