Dinner with a side of spanking...

This last summer I returned to the land of my upbringing(Alaska) for my 10 year(gulp) high school reunion. While I was there I visited one of our oldest family friends, Tom Cooper. He owns Alaska Horn and Antler, he is a true artist and if you're ever on your way down to the Kenai Peninsula you should stop in. SO, this summer I picked up an antler sling shot and dried moose pellets for the kids. I'm from Alaska, these are just some of the strange things people do there. So, it's been sitting on a shelf in the kids' room since then, not seeing much action because it's been cold out. 

Fast forward to last night. We sitting around the table having just enjoyed a nice dinner with our neighbors. We're just laughing and talking and out of the corner of my eye I see something flying. 

It's dark.
It's brown.
And it's just hit Gary(the dad) on his arm and shattered due to the dryness of it. 
Can you guess what it was?

So now there's dried moose poo bits all over my table. I turn around ready to murder and there's sweet little Evie just laughing away. That is until she sees my face. She then runs. Smart girl, because if she had been close I would have spanked her. Hard. Don't judge please. :) 

We bring her back to the table to apologize and clean up. But, seriously! What the crap was she thinking?! When I figure her out then I'll get back to you. Until then I'll just have to keep my eye on that one.

Ahhh, Evie, such a darling little thing. You'd never guess she could be so mischievous. What can I say - I love that girl. Kali misses her so much and talks almost everyday about her BFF cousin. -Angela

That IS so so funny. Evie is too cute to KNOW she was doing something very wrong, right? That's what you get for buying poop as a sovenier (sp?) if you ask me ;) PS. Lily was so excited to go to church today and see Evie, you should have seen her disappointed face when I told her that Evie went to a different church because her house wasn't by ours. You guys should move onto our street! Now THAT is a good idea! See you tomorrow awesome lady:)
