Fun Ramblings.

So, this is going to be a random blog. A lot of rambling probably.

Let's start off with things I learned from the girls first sleep over at our house.

1. I need ear plugs.
2. 4 girls who love to just chase each other and scream while they are doing it is so not cool!
3. Thinking I had a good idea by having a sleepover to distract the girls so I could write a research paper, yeah, not a good idea and yes, nothing about it now, sounds good.
4. Also, having the sleepover the night the government was supposed to shut down, meant a mom that was glued to the TV.
5. The next sleepover will happen when Jason is back so that I have an adult to stare at while wearing the ear plugs.

All in all, the girls had a great time. They slept through the night, all in sleeping bags in the living room. And Saturday morning, we made a fun breakfast that Buppa introduced me to. Breakfast in a bag. Basically, you just load your freezer bag with whatever you want in your eggs, then add the scrambled eggs to the bag and boil the bag in boiling water for 13 minutes. The aroma of the bags when we opened it...Ah...since it was trapped in there...just smelling it made it feel like we were eating already!

Ava and Analiese writing their names on their bags. Kylie and Layla were too hungry to wait...so they had cereal!

Filling their bags!

Their bags filled with goodies! Analiese had bacon, pepper jack cheese and LOTS of parsley. haha. Ava had bacon, pepper jack cheese, red onion and tomatoes!

Now mixing the eggs in...Ava smashed it all up, Analiese just swung it around. ha ha.

Ready to boil!

And the seal of approval!

That was fun!

Now, my best April Fool's joke to date! I am still laughing about it...Jason got a package from us today...cigars he ordered and his favorite Jelly Belly's. But, they weren't your usual jelly belly's. (Thank you Kristen for this WONDERFUL prank!!!! And Shannon, be glad you weren't my victim!)

Ever heard of Bean Boozled?

I disguised them in a ziplock bag, pretending I just filled it at the store. I knew he would just grab a handful and throw them in his mouth. Here are the flavors:

Skunk Spray
Rotten Egg
Canned Dog Food
Booger
Baby Wipes
Pencil Shavings
Toothpaste
Barf
Moldy Cheese
Centipede

Let me quote Jason from his emails with the things he had to say about this...warning, foul language!

"I think you got me some kind of foul trick jelly beans... they taste awful!"

"THAT IS NOT APRIL FOOLS, THAT IS MEAN... You know how much I love jelly beans, and you didn't even put real ones in there for me after I ate the shitty ones! I put them in my mouth and started chewing and I was like what the fuck is wrong with these, then I realized you did this! I spit them in the trash, and thought of course... that's why they are in a zip lock bag! So mean!"

"I'll let you bask in your victory!"

I asked him if he had tried to give them to his guys...

"no I haven't given anyone else jelly beans, they all saw me spit it out and say WTF! They are all aware of your evil trick!"

Ah...victory. It feels good! At least he had birthday cake to wash them down!

And finally, let's tackle the boyfriend issue. I talked to Ava this afternoon about her card and what a boyfriend meant. She said, "It's when you are friends and then you ask to be a boyfriend or girlfriend. It can just be a boy and girl." I told her I was confused and asked if she has had a "boyfriend" before. She said no. I asked her why she wanted Gavin to be her boyfriend, "because I like him." I tried to pry further into what "like" meant...but decided to leave it there. Then she said she is NERVOUS about asking him to be her boyfriend. WHAT. Nervous. So what does that mean in a 5 year olds mind. Why should she be nervous? I know this is all innocent and everything, but I am not ready for a boy issue. That's it...NO MORE Justin Beiber in our house!
