Ground Hogs and Raccoons

Last week Colin and Robyn went over to the Garcia's to play with their friend Maddie. Raylene (Maddie's mother) is the Primary Chorister and she was working on songs for Sunday. Colin was helping her while Maddie and Robyn played quietly upstairs. Raylene wanted to sing a Spring song. Colin told her she would have to wait until the next day to know if it would be okay to sing a Spring song because the next day was Ground Hog day. He searched the internet and found a website to tell them about Ground Hog day and then took her to reederhome.net where Randy has a program he wrote using weather.com to tell the weather.
While they were busy learning about Ground Hog day and such, the little girls were VERY busy. The girls got into Raylene's make up and used her water proof mascara to make themselves very beautiful and liberally applied her body spray. Oh my! When it was time for Raylene to go get her big girls for school, she noticed the little girls. She didn't know what they'd gotten into and tried to scrub it off with water and a paper towel. She had to give up and just send Robyn home looking like a raccoon and smelling VERY powerful so she wouldn't be late. I couldn't help laughing when I saw her - my goodness. Unfortunately we were also in a hurry so I didn't get a picture. I had to hurry and get her in the tub to get rid of the powerful smell so I could stand to take her in the car to the library for Colin's robot creations class. We had to work pretty hard to get the mascara off - I hope she learned a lesson. We did have a quick discussion about our asking law. Hopefully she will remember the asking law next time.
Reminds me of the only time I ever saw Nancy get mad - when two little girls played in her make up many years ago. I believe I went home so fast that I forgot my shoes that day. :)
