So, last night around 11:00 pm, Taylor Bluth and I snuck over to Leah's house for a little bit of fun. :) Since Leah is leaving for school up in Utah tomorrow (Saturday), we wanted her to leave with something to remember us by. So we had decided to sidewalk chalk her front sidewalk and decorate her door (Taylor also t.p.'d her tree a little bit).
Well, Taylor and I were all prepared to be sneaky undercover agents...we drove up without the lights on, and VERY carefully parked farther down the street, so if anyone happened to be up, they wouldn't recognize the car. As Taylor started the t.p.ing process, I began furiously decorating the sidewalk as fast as I could, while still trying to make it look cute. :) All of a sudden, Taylor and I see President Blake coming! He turned on the front porch light, and Taylor and I just about DIED!!! We ran pell-mell for the side of the house to hide behind the bushes. And let me tell you--there were some VERY prickly leaves in that grass that absolutely stuck into our feet like burrs! :(
So there we are, crouching down behind the bushes, trying not to be seen, and trying not to breathe too loud if someone were to come out to check out what all the movement outside was about. We probably we making tons of noise anyways, but it was so much fun. :) After what seems like forever, Taylor decides to go check out if the coast is clear so we can finish the job...and gets caught!!! Hansen had seen us running away when President Blake turned on the light--if we hadn't run, they wouldn't have even seen us!!! Lol, oh well. We came out, and laughed it off (but practically the entire family came outside to see what was going on). :) So much for being sneaky!
We made Leah promise not to look at anything until the next morning, but went ahead and gave her the brownies we had baked for her (which were still warm). She was really happy though, and I was so glad that she liked our surprise (even though she found out about it earlier than usual...). :) After everyone went back inside, Taylor and I made the sidewalk look really cute, and put up a sign on the door ("We Love Leah!) for her to see the next morning. What a night!!! :)

I know it was great fun being sneaky (in a good way), and that you will miss your girlhood days with Leah and Taylor. You are lucky to have had such good friends for so many years. It is a blessing. :)
Okay, you know that I am the one who wrote that comment above. I didn't realize you hadn't signed off after making the post. :) Momma
Sounds like a fun night even though you got caught!
It does sound like a lot of fun!!!! You sneaky little thing, you!!!!! :) I am glad that Leah liked her surprise. You guys are such good friends, I know you will miss her.
How funny!! What a nice thing to do. I guess it will be just 2 of you for awhile. Hope you're having a great summer. You'll have to take some pictures of you at the pool:)
