Pooper Scooper For Life

I have been thinking about writing about poop for a while now.  Gross you say?  Yes it is gross and repulsive.  So let the yucky story begin.

Now some of my readers may remember this story from our youth.  Sad I guess I'm not in my youth anymore.  When I was in my youth I set out for yet another Girls Camp with my good and loyal friends.  I believe this particular camp was...hum I have no idea actually where we were at.  I do remember lots of trees and a rather steep path down into our camp site.  One day while walking on this path with some of my buddies we run into a pile of poop.  Gross yes.  Now here is where I wish I was A(you know who you are) to tell this story. She would have giving it justice.

Okay skipping right to the point because I can't remember how this happened but we all found out who left that pile of poop in the middle of the main trail.  It was another girl in my ward who shall not be named but pretty sure most of you can figure out who it was.  Yes you heard me right.  She needed to relieve herself so decided that "Hey why not right here in the middle of the trail where everyone walks.  Looks good to me and I have no shame should someone come upon me in the middle of my act of leaving droppings like a common forest animal."

Well the story went around and the leaders heard and decided that someone needed to remove the poop.  Now I would think that they would choose the girl who left it there but no they decided "Hey lets have the Kjar girl take care of that mess.  She seems like a perfect person to clean up someone else's poop ".  That is just what happened.  I was nominated to clean up this other girls poop who by the way was older than me.  Not only did I have to clean it up they were so kind as to give me the pooper scooper award on the final night where they give awards to all the girls.  What a slap in the face.  Here other girls were getting best smile award or most caring award.  No I get the pooper scooper award which everyone laughed not.  I have to wonder now that I'm an adult what were these leaders thinking and did they just not like me?


I did not realize at the time that this particular event was preparing me for a lifetime of official poop duty.  When I married Will he already had a dog.  I point this out because I wonder how this dog survived without me.  Since we have been married I am in complete control of all bodily needs and functions of the animals and children in my home.

Everyday I go into my backyard and clean up poop from two dogs.  If I did not do this the poop would remain where it was dropped.  Yeah for me I have lived up to my pooper scooper award that I received as a child.  Yeah for me!

Music Camp and New Bedroom

Last week the girls attended a music camp put on by a fabulous piano teacher in Layton.  For those interested her name is Susanne Moon and she is absolutely amazing and cheap.  Anyways she put together a week long music camp and the girls had a blast.  They were very worn out by the end of each day but isn't that the point.  On the last day of the camp the kids put on a show of what they learned for the parents.  It was so cute and again amazing!
The girls posing so I can take a pic along with their cousin Ella who got to come watch the show

On another note Will thought it would be a good idea to put the girls in separate rooms so they would stop keeping each other up at night.  I asked the girls how the felt about that and Lily was all for it.   Poor Eve was not so thrilled but went along.  I offered to move Eve in the bedroom next to mine but she didn't want to move but Lily jumped at that suggestion.  So Lily got herself a new room.

This room used to be the office/craft room which has now been moved into the basement.  Good thing we have spare rooms to go around.  Lily loves her new room and wants to show it to anyone who comes knocking at our front door.  Eve on the other hand is lonely.  I just want to cry for this little girl.  Each night she says she doesn't like sleeping without Lily and she is lonely.  It just breaks my heart to leave her in that big room all by herself.  I have been leaving a dog to sleep with her on her bed at night.  Which ever dog follows me to put Eve to bed is the winner.  Still my poor baby.
