March 30-31, 2013

With Easter coming up, I'm going to remember what happened last year at Easter.

Saturday, March 30. I looked at my Easter basket and was glad to see that I got Frankenweenie on DVD/Blu-Ray. I took a plastic Ziploc bag of Easter candy in the car as my mom and I headed to the funeral of "Other Suzanne." My mom wasn't sure if she was at the right church, but it was right. We met Sue, Peter, Quin, Nicole, and "Wallace" there, and before we sat down, Peter pointed out to Wallace that I had glasses and that he (Wallace) liked glasses. We moved to one of the center pews. Throughout the funeral, Wallace kept walking between us, taking the hymnbooks out of the holders and giving them to us. If we put them back, he went give them back to us. At one point, he came up to me and had me put my hand in front of my eye. Then he did a little breathy laugh. It was really funny. At one point in the funeral, they played a song that a relative on a mission had recorded (I think "His Hands"), and Wallace got really confused, because he heard the voice, but he didn't see anyone singing. After the funeral, we took Peter home. My mom remarked about how well attended the funeral was. I learned that Sue had once been in charge of  a daycare, which I never knew. Peter was annoyed that he hadn't seen my memory post that week, but I told him that I had just posted it the night before. That night, Allie came and we colored eggs. I put in two new Easter specials, The First Easter Rabbit (during which Allie said, "If my mom were here, she'd be singing,") and Yogi the Easter Bear. After coloring eggs, I went downstairs with my candy to watch Here Comes Peter Cottontail: The Movie.

Sunday, March 31. Before church, we watched an Easter video from lds.org on our big TV. Then we went to church, and after church, we prepared for everyone coming to our house for dinner. Sue called and said they would be late because they had Wallace but no car seat, but they eventually got one and came. Allie was playing with Wallace, and he would run into my parents' room and flap his arms with excitement until Allie came and got him. Once I crouched down and growled at him as he ran by, and he laughed. I do sometimes have a filter, so I won't explain why Chancey and Nicole were late, but when they arrived, Chancey had Nicole dish out some potatoes, which were in the oven because they weren't warm enough. He kept saying brusquely, "More. More." I should have said, "That's no way to talk to your wife," but I didn't. Wallace ran in the kitchen, and Jesse saved him from running into the hot oven. Later, we heard Wallace fall down the stairs, and Chancey rushed over to him. He was fine. Allie was saying, "It was my fault," since she had been watching him previously, and Chancey said, "It happens, Al," as though he thought it really was her fault, and Peter shook his head disapprovingly. I tried to assure Allie that it wasn't her fault, because she wasn't the one who was supposed to be watching him. (I said I only have a filter sometimes.) My mom made a cake with pink frosting, Peeps Bunnies, jelly beans, and green coconut on it, and I had plenty of it. Then it was time for me to leave; my mom commented on my yellow shoes. I needed to pick up a girl from her sister's apartment (or something) in Salt Lake, so I used my trusty GPS to get me there. I waited for Amber to come out (crossing the crosswalk a few times to make sure I was in the right place), and then we loaded up her stuff and I headed out. We talked about our families and about her upcoming mission. She told me she liked my MoTab CD. When we got back to Provo, I dropped her off, and then I went to my apartment. My home teacher, Westin, came by to see me. I told him a little about my blogs, and he was impressed that I could remember dates. Before he left, he said to my roommate Scott, "Do you know he has two blogs?" Scott said he knew I had a memory blog, and I was a little worried about Westin telling him about it, since I had made some posts about tarantulas. Then I made a blog post and went to bed.
