Uno Smack Attack and a Rain Storm

We had Stake Conference today, so it was one of those special Sundays when Jared and I actually get to see what each other look like in the light of day other than just after 9:00 p.m. at night. Koria and Kimball, mainly Kimball, has been asking us to play board games with them for quite a while now, and we kept our promise to play as many games with them that we could while Luke and Layne took a nap. We played several games, but ended with what is more commonly known to the word as Uno Attack. It's basically Uno, but with a machine that spits out cards at random when the "draw" button is pushed. Koria and Kimball tend to make everything more fun, but I've never had that much fun with a card game in my life. They were rolling everytime that cards came flying out at us. Jared and I decided to take turns teaching the two four-year-olds random "trash-talk" phrases as we played, which varied from an evil laugh (Wa-a-aaaaaaaa!), to "Would you like a slice of humble pie with that," to licking their fingers, holding them in the air, and making a sizzling sound. Each one was unique and individualized, as all good smack talking phrases should be, and the kids looked forward to each new phrase we could invent. Instills faith in us as parents, doesn't it?

In the middle of all the gameage, we received a downpour of rain. I had told the kids that the next time it rained, they needed to go outside and try to catch the raindrops on their tongues. I love summer rain and the clean air that it brings.

Needless to say, we enjoyed our Sunday afternoon to the fullest. Smack talk and all, FOOO!
