Easy Target

Well, because of the snow tonight Andi, Tamrar, and myself decided to just hang out at Tamrar's house instead. It was great, Andi was going crazy she had way too much energy to be cooped up in a house. When she got there it took her about five minutes before she said, "I've been craving chocolate all day, can I have some brownies!!??" Well, they did have brownies but Tamrar came up with making no-bake cookies and of course Andi's eyes opened really wide. No-bake cookies woohoo. So while Tamrar and her mom are making the chocolate goop Andi is dancing all over the kitchen. I'm surprised she wansn't sweating and I wasn't so sure about letting her have too much sugar. Tamrar joined in the dancing so Sue and I tried to dodge them while we took over stirring the goop. We ended up calling Scott to find out what channel the super bowl would be on and here's Andi in the kitchen, her hands on the counter and her feet walking up the wall accross from her holding herself off the floor. The cookies turned out great, we got to talk to Scott for a while and that was great, and Andi got her fix so that was great. The rest of the night we hung out and talked, it was a really relaxing evening, well for me at least. While we were talking I noticed that sometimes Andi would start breathing heavily like she just ran around the house ten times. What goes up....must come down, and this holds true to Andi's energy level. By the time we left she seemed pretty sleepy, as we walked out to go to our cars I decided to scoop up some new snow and lob a little snowball at her. It was one of those dinky ones that weren't packed hardly at all, well she decided to throw one back. Then the war began. Well....it wasn't really a war, it was more like a massacre. She can be quick....sometimes. She did hit me with a couple snowballs. I could just tell you that I'm an elite snowball thrower and that Andi is an easy target......but to keep Andi's feelings from getting hurt we'll just blame it on her sudden loss of energy. It was so much fun, I threw a snowball at her and it nailed her in the chest, luckily her coat is well padded. I'm just glad she didn't even think to duck or it might have smacked her right in the face then I would have felt terrible. Then we realized Tamrar and Kim were staring at us the whole time. Spoo!
