My Husband; The Prankster

Any of you who knew Scott pre-mission know that Scott loves to pull pranks. These days he usually keeps them to a minimum, unless we're talking about his family. Since we've been here he particularly enjoys playing pranks on his sister Heidi. And I have to say she's a really good sport about it all. Well before I get into his latest prank I have to tell a story I didn't tell in the last post. Us adults were in the middle of our Easter egg hunt. I had looked under their huge couch and saw some eggs but they were out of reach so I told my sis in law Hilary they were on the other side. Well she got down and looked under the couch for them and says, "Oh, there's a mouse." I wouldn't say it was pandemonium, but there were us ladies kinda anxious for it to be caught, and the men and boys all excited. At one point it ran out from under the couch and into a corner, and I thought that if I stood between it and the couch he wouldn't dare pass me. Well I was wrong. This little mouse kept running at me and stopping, running at me and stopping, until it looked like it was going to run over my feet. So I I'm there kicking my feet towards him, more frantically as he got more daring, and finally leaped out of the way screaming, convinced he was going to try to bite me. haha. When did I become such a pansy? Anyway, long story short the guys finally caught him under a bucket and killed it. =( Despite my encounter I wanted them to let him go outside. I guess maybe he's in a happier place. I went back upstairs and started enjoying the candy and taking pictures of the kids. We had no idea what was brewing down stairs between Scott, Russ, and one or two of our nephews(Heidi's boys).

I guess they had put the mouse inside an Easter egg and set it on Heidi's dresser hoping she'd open it and freak out. Well one of her sons who was in on it told his little brother that there was an Easter egg in her room with candy in it. Poor Simon apparently went in and opened it, and Heidi who was upstairs heard a blood curdling scream. Of course when we arrive to spend the next day with them we hear all about it. I naturally feel sorry for the poor guy and Scott of course laughs hysterically! lol. Their prank was a success! It made Scott's day. I just have to say I'm glad he knows not to do those things to me! =) He cracks me up. I love my honey, and the laugh that says he got someone good!
