Last night after all of the kids were in bed, I got a call from my sister. She and her husband will be flying in tomorrow to be here for Thanksgiving and the wedding.
As we were chatting, I thought I could smell smoke. I mentioned this to LaMar, and he looked around for a minute and couldn't find anything wrong.
I continued to talk to my sister, but every once in a while, I would get a whiff of that smell that you get after a candle has been blown out.
Again, I asked LaMar to investigate, but since he had already looked, he didn't want to look again so he told me that it was probably some weird pregnancy thing making my nose over active.
I finally finished talking to my sister, and went through the house myself.
The smell seemed stronger by the stairs, so I went upstairs and the smell was coming from the older boy's room.
I opened the door to see them looking out the open window, and holding a pop bottle.
They were lighting bottle rockets out of their bedroom window!
Naturally, I was quite upset! Fireworks are illegal in this state!
I asked them where they got the bottle rockets, and they wouldn't tell me.
They didn't need to tell me where they got them from, it was quite obvious.
The Simpson family has relatives in Wyoming, and they're constantly bringing this sort of contraband into our community.
I think I'll put the remaining bottle rockets in a big box and mail them right back to Wyoming.
I won't tolerate illegal behavior in our home!

Wow. Sounds like fun! I mean, naughty, naughy behavior, of course.
Thank goodness for overactive olifactory glands during pregnancy! It's a good thing you discovered them before they burnt the house down!
Okay...was hoping for a big ole Turkey Day post ...maybe after the holidays?
I ruined the jello mold for Turkey Day today...grrr. Who knew you were supposed to spray pam at the mold first??
Bottle rockets out of their bedroom window?? That would be enough to put me into labor!
You're lucky one of them didn't blow themselves up. Those Simpson kids are lame...
