Zombie Prom and Baby Vomit

Well, we had a pretty eventful weekend.  We’re finally recovering from our various trips and able to relax a little on the weekends.  On Friday night we attended a musical that one of Jon’s YM was performing in.  The title of the play: “Zombie Prom”.  We figured, zombies + prom + musical, how can that go wrong?  Plus, we wanted to provide a little moral support for Jon’s quorum member.  The play was actually pretty funny and well performed.  My favorite song by far had the chorus “Jonny, come back from the nuclear plant” and I’ve had it stuck in my head for two days now…

Basically, the story is about two high school kids that fall in love, Toffee and Jonny (Jonny rebeliously removed the ‘H’ from his name).  Toffee’s parents thing Jonny is unfit for her and makes her break it off.  After learning about the break up Jonny commits suicide by jumping into the town’s nuclear reactor.  Of course, Toffee is distraught and unable to move on.  She pines for Jonny and is mourning the fact that she won’t have a date to the Sr. prom.  Her pining and love somehow bring Jonny back from the dead as her undead lover…but Toffee doesn’t really want an undead lover.  Drama ensues, the media is alerted about the anomoly and Jonny becomes an advocate for undead rights.  In the end love prevails and Toffee decides she wants Jonny even if he’s green and slightly slimely.  Ah true love.   

Saturday night we were able to babysit for a family in the ward.  Their kids were really sweet and we had a pretty good time.  They have two daughters and a infant little boy who is absolutely adorable.  It was good practice for us I think.  Feeding the baby, changing the baby, being thrown up on by the baby…Yeah…poor guy, we were trying to put him down for bed and he got so upset he threw up his entire bottle…all over me.  I think I had baby vomit literally from head to toe.  Strangely enough, I didn’t find it gross at the time, I was more worried about the little baby.  That must have been pretty tramatic for him.  At least after that Jon was able to rock him to sleep while I tried to clean myself up.  Ah…we’re bad babysitters.  Well, at least that was the only major incident of the evening.  The girls were really helpful and helped clean up too.  After the baby was asleep we did puzzles and played Twister and tag.  Now I see why parents are tired all the time.  Well, like I said good training and we had a pretty good time. 

Well, not much besides that going on on the Northwestern front for now.  Jon and I are getting ready for our Olympics trip to Vancouver (maybe we should actually learn the rules to curling so it makes a little sense).  Pixel is doing well too, she’s actually been a lot better behaved these past few weeks besides her new affection towards rubbery items.  We’ve “lost” the remote in her lair several times already :).  Overall though, I’d say all is well.  We’ll try to post more often as the spring and summer pick up (come back to us Sun!).
