Work, Boredom, and Mischief


kyle's last post was about us taking my sisters to efy. we have been staying at my parents house this whole week, since the day before we took the road trip to flagstaff. why? well because i am trying to get a photography business up and started. i use this nifty program called photoshop to make cool edits to the pics i take before i give them to my clients. one problem. since this program is so complex and heavy duty, it has crashed my laptop three times. rewind with me to that time in february when kyle bought me my laptop. he gave it to me so i could run this business from home, or anywhere i wished to take it. fast forward to present time, three crashes, and a whole lot of frustration later; i choose to loose the tears and keep my hair. since the "at home" business plan hasn't been working out, i have brought work to my parents house. they have been great to let me take over they're computer and help out with addison.

hence kyle and i gone to my parents house for the past week. it was a long week. we have been so excited to be back home and actually stay the night. but i can't complain too much. because two of my sisters were at efy and the other two were farmed out to family, it wasn't too bad. i finished up my last two photo shoots at my parents house, but i have another one tonight. that means more editing at my parents. maybe i'll wait to start until tomorrow. give myself and my parents a day, you know?

can you spot who doesn't belong in this pic?

we did come home for a few hours on wednesday so i could go to mutual. we were so tired when we got home that we took showers and kyle conked out for a few hours with addison. i am so envious that he can fall asleep so fast no matter what is going on around him, even with the sun shining. i wanted to take a nap next to him so badly, but knew that if i did, i would never wake up. i was bored. no editing. nothing to eat. no one to talk to. so what do i do with time to kill? i look at kyle. he's spread out over the bed with his arms crossed over his chest and legs straight down over the covers. i look at his feet, touching the end of the bed and am jealous of them. mine are thick and plushy with stubby toes. his are more flat with long, narrow toes. i wish i had a girl version of those feet.
next thing i know, i am rummaging through the closet. i find what i am looking for and tiptoe to kyle. wives are scary when bored. making sure he is good and asleep, i start to paint his toenails pink. he never even moved! once i got done with one toe i went to the next and before long, he had ten perfectly pink toenails! with white flowers as the finishing touch, he had feet any girl would envy.

i decided not to tell him and see how long it would take for him to see it. i knew it wouldn't be long. every time he puts on his sandals he looks at his feet. he walks around barefoot in the house. how could he not notice? well i took some pics and waited. went to mutual, came home. went back to my parents house. (where he watched tv with his feet propped up on the ottoman in front of himself) edited more photos. waited. then he went to bed. thursday same story. he didn't ever see his toes. i was shocked. friday morning i was woken up by tickling fingers. kyle came from the bathroom laughing and tickling me asking when i painted his toenails. i told him and we had a good laugh. it is so funny how clueless he can be sometimes, not noticing white flowers on pink toenails! people, he walked around like that for TWO DAYS! hilarious!

when i told my parents, kenna heard and wanted to repaint his toenails a more noticeable red. kyle agreed as long as he got a foot rub from anyone who helped paint and he could remove it right away. unfortunately for him, it didn't work out the way he planned. his foot rub stopped short and he couldn't take the polish off when we had to suddenly hurry home with a fussy baby. so now he has red polish with with flowers. cute.

even better, home teachers come this morning. kyle put on baseball socks to hide his vibrant toes. because we're "out" of nail polish remover he will have to keep his toes painted for a while. (wonder how long it will take for him to notice that i lied...)

i took a close up pice while kyle was still sleeping. in the above pic, kyle's feet are the pair on the far right after we repainted them.


make sure to give him a hard time when you see him next. :)
