Cinco de mayo= City Hunter Day

Yesterday was a busy day. My parents and little sister drove to Logan for an orchestra concert with Graig's orchestra. Tyler had a boatload of geometry problems and a Scout meeting to attend. Jennifer and I had a party in the quiet house from about 2:30 to 10 watching City Hunter.

Sara came first, then Mark, David (Sara's brother), Mary (Sara's sister) and Joseph (Sara's other brother). Tyler watched with us before and after his Scout meeting (even though he was supposed to be doing geometry... I let that battle go). When dinnertime came around, I made two different trips to Kohler's (I kept forgetting stuff) first alone, then with Jen, David and Mark to get hot dogs, buns, lemonade and ice cream. Mark, who served a mission in Argentina, turned out to be a superb Hot Dog Chef. I didn't know boiling hot dogs could be so complicated. They turned out good, anyway. :)

It was AWESOME.

(If you can find a spare 20 hours of your life here and there, I highly recommend watching City Hunter. It's a Korean TV drama- but hold your judgment until after the first episode and know that it starts good and ends GREAT. And for those of you who don't speak Korean- like me, Sara, Mark, David, Mary, Joseph and Tyler- there are English subtitles.)

David eats brains at the devotional

Every week when the BYU devotional comes around at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, some of my friends and I have sort of a potluck lunch. There are five of us "regulars" at the devotional lunch, but we've had as many as seven people sharing the food before.

Today we had a really healthy lunch. Sara brought homemade jello cake, David brought red licorice, and Jennifer, Mark and I brought nothing. After we'd all eaten about two licorice braids each, David started playing with the leftovers. He learned how to make a hangman's noose from Mark, created an elaborate rope bridge (the kind you see in movies swinging in the wind between two cliffs) and then mashed it all together and made brains.

Then he ate the licorice. His mouth almost wasn't big enough to fit it all in one bite, but he managed.
