The Perfect Execution......

Hello and Happy 2009!!! I haven't been traveling since my stint in Nashville, however I have a story that I HAVE to post.

It was Christmas Day and it was around 9pm. All was quiet, nothing was stirring not even a mouse.....haha

We were all sitting around at my Mother-in-Law's house just talking, eating, talking, eating (you know how Christmases are) and I suddenly got a great thought!! We haven't taken a family picture yet!? So I made everyone get up and get ready for a picture.....there were a few grumbles, but because of my persistence and spirit - they gave in :)

So we lined everyone up and I got the camera ready so I could b-line to my spot within 10 seconds. So everyone was smiles so I hit the button and ran...... 3-2-1 pause FLASH. I went back to check the picture and a few people's eyes were closed and Joe (as usual) was doing bunny ears. SIGH. So here we go again........timer set for 10 secs.......initiate.....3-2-1 pause FLASH. This time I made up some excuse as to why it didn't turn out, because I looked ridiculous, so that was a vain picture. lol.......so ok this is it.......I wouldn't be able to have them last past 3 pictures.....

So last time.........timer set for 10 secs........initiate.......3-2-1 EXTREMELY LOUD FART FROM PAUL and FLASH. This is the result......
I think my mom's face is PRICELESS. She said she could feel the vibration behind her. And the look of total concentration on Paul's face absolutely cracks me up. If you zoom in real close you can see him kinda biting his lip as to really nail the perfect toot. After we calmed down from the roar of laughter and tears we took a real picture (mom's eyes were closed, but I was over it) and it came out quite nice.

So yup, that's my hubby - Paul the Christmas tooter......he's SO proud of his story I don't think a day has went by that he hasn't mentioned it - LOL
I can't wait to tell our kids the year that daddy "let one" - 2008......SIGH
