Squirrel!


If you haven't gone to see the movie "Up" yet, I would recommend it. It is a sweet story! But one part in the movie, that seems to be a reoccurring theme in our home, has to do with the dogs. In the movie, the dogs are given a collar that allows them to speak English! The pack of dogs will be talking and suddenly one of them will say "Squirrel".
At that moment, all of the dogs forget what they are doing, freeze and look for the squirrel.



That is my family! (Me included) I can't tell you how many times I have started cleaning the kitchen and found something that belonged in the bathroom. When I go to put it away, I am distracted by what needs to be done in there and start cleaning the bathroom. When I see something that goes in the laundry, I will go downstairs and start doing laundry and folding clothes. When I go to put them away, I will notice that I never finished cleaning the kitchen. I kind of clean in circles like that! Does that familiar? I'm sorry if it does. (squirrel, or in the words of Darin, 'Something shiny')
Anyway, Paul's cousin met us in Salt Lake City to take Alan to basic training last Sunday. As they were getting ready to leave, Paul pulled out a map and was telling Tina how to get to where they needed to go. The instructions went kind of like this:

"First, you go out onto South Temple. Follow it until -LOOK AT THAT BIRD HOUSE"

How can you not laugh!

But just for the record, it was a cool bird house!
