Party At The Naughty's!

Mr. Naughty Pants was just telling me he thinks there needs to be more blog entries about him - he likes to be center of attention. I don't blame him, so do I. We went over to the Naughty's for a BBQ and to just hang out with awesome folks. We had such a great time! Mr. Naughty Pants had asked that all the guests bring a side dish and some drinks - no problem. I don't do well in the kitchen - I mean, I cook stuff but nothing fancy. Whenever there is a party at school I just go out and buy something. I don't want to subject anyone to what I create - then have them hate it. I was at the store shopping for a party we had at school and I asked Scott if I should try to make a side dish for the Naughty's BBQ? He was all over that idea, running around the store getting the things I'd need for potato salad. The last time I tried to make potato salad I ended up turning the potatoes to mush and had to abort the mission! I do cook, and the few items I make, I make them well. I am always afraid to go beyond what I know - because usually they turn out bad. I decided to make the potato salad on Saturday - so if it turned to mush again, I would have time to rush out to the store and get something else. To my surprise it turned out pretty good - yay! We hopped in the car and headed over to the Naughty's house for the festivities. Mr. Naughty Pants BBQed tri-tip steaks - yum! It was such a nice afternoon there, talking with Mrs. Naughty Pants (getting to know the other half of Mr. Naughty Pants), meeting the nephew Naughty Pants and some new pals of the Naughty's. Sammy had a blast with the Naughty children (ha ha ha - I crack myself up sometimes), playing in the backyard and in their rooms. Sammy even got to bring home some building blocks that the Naughty children don't play with anymore - Thanks! Although according to the Naughty nephew, Mr. Naughty Pants stays up late, and plays with the blocks when everyone is asleep. So, maybe Sammy broke Mr. Naughty Pants's heart - stealing his secret toys.... No, I won't even get started with what I think Mr. Naughty Pants's secret toys are. (eew!) They have a very nice home and I learned that Mr. Naughty Pants is a talented artist! Although I am sad to say we didn't get pictures of the party - maybe the next time I am over at the Naughty's I will try to get a picture of this awesome painting done by Mr. Naughty himself. It's of Noah's Ark - and I couldn't believe that I couldn't stop looking at it. It was really a work of art! Kudos Mr. Naughty Pants. Scott had a great time playing with the two Boxers (doggies) that the Naughtys have. They were rough housing in the back yeard and the Naughty pup was charging at Scott trying to knock the 6 foot 6 inch man down - and the Boxer is just powerful enough that it almost succeeded a few times! What awesome looking dogs - the older one (about 6 years-old) was tri-color and the puppy (1 year-old) was tan and white. The puppy's mouth was about as big as our Baxter puppy! Mr. Naughty Pants had his doggies under control and harmless - he has two young boys and the dogs get along great with the kids! There was a baby and the Boxer pup was licking him clean! It was really cute - the baby wasn't going to need a bath tonight! The baby was chewing on one of the building blocks and he was willing to share with the Boxer - too cute! Although Scott came away from the Naughtys with a few Naughty habbits - not to worry, I'll have him back to the way he was before the Naughty experence before he knows what happened. No one spanks me and lives to tell about it! (*wink*) It was a nice day with yummy food (thanks for the comment that you enjoyed my salad!), and great company! Thank you to the Naughty Family!
