"DON'T OPEN THE DOOR, NANA'S IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD"


"Don't open the door, Nana's in the neighborhood," was Zach's exact quote to his kids when he saw me drive by his house two nights ago, just after dark. It's that time of year again, where we delight in frightening the grandkids and whoever else will scream the loudest (i.e., Jesi Taylor). I met up with a guy who owns a taxidermy shop and he gave me this fun creature as he was about to put it in the garbage can. He was curious as to why I wanted it. I told him it would come in handy at this time of year. The twins and I first drove to Zach's house to scare his kids; which we didn't get a very good response because they were on alert. Then off to Jesi Taylor's house where Kristy was over visiting. That was a classic! Thanks Jesi for being such a good sport, even though we scared you almost silly.
Oh, I also sent Paul a photo on my camera phone (he is in New York) and told him that I found this creature eating out of the skunk's bowl and what the heck was it. His response.... "We are in serious trouble. You have GOT to stop feeding these animals. That is a badger, and it will rip you to shreds." He's so cute to worry about me, isn't he?"

You know, the may be the one time I say that the distance between us is a good thing. I don't need to be spooked by yall's silly games.

Oh... Melissa doesn't know what she is missing. That was so much fun that night at the Taylor's. You can always count on a good scare when it comes to Kristy or Jesi.

That was such a blast that night and the Taylor's and the Soffe's where such great sports. I am just afraid of what we are going to get in return. Be on alert!

You can thank Aaron for us being so vigilant this time of year. He got us so good that we are determined never to be gotten again! I knew you guys were up to something. Adri was acting strange!
