HAHA I fooled you.. twice

So ya, tonight we surprised Christina with a baby shower (the funeral home that Mom works at threw it for her) and we had to trick her by telling her that all the girls were going out to dinner. We had to go pick up Mom or she would never leave the office on time, which was the lie to get her to the Funeral Home, and the lies continued when we got there because we had to use the front door because the back door was "locked" for the night. Anyway, she had a really really great time, was super surprised and very very beautiful might I add, she got a lot of good things for the baby, a crib/mattress/changing table, a baby bath tub, lots of outfits and bottles and stuff, and a swing, diapers and some wipes. So after the baby shower she brings me home, and SOMEHOW they snuck in a cake with rainbow brite on it for ME (my birthday is tomorrow) and so we had a double dose of HAHA I fooled you tonight.. It's simply HILArious that ME, the one that created the lie about what we were doing tonight for Christina's shower ends up getting fooled too... I say HILArious to let you guys all know who was in charge of keeping her mouth shut. Boy she had TWO events to keep hush about, imagine how tough that was for her haha. She did great. It was hilarious that she drew a diagram for Brad to follow to arrange the candles around the picture of rainbow brite. And, even though I laugh at that, I realize just how much these awesome people love me, to think of RAINBOW candles, RAINBOW brite cake topper, RAINBOW chips in the icing, and stuffed with cherry filling which I love. I don't have pictures yet, but we all KNOW who does, and I'm sure she'll post more in detail about the day. I really had a good time and I am super glad I went. It was a blast, most of the fun we had (well in my opinion) was the girly gab we had on the way back to my house. Christina is absolutely glowing and makes a beautiful pregnant gal ;)



FAMILIES ARE THE BEST PRESENTS EVER. :)

^0^ Halloween^0^

Like my bats? So after the excitement of the Hilaween party that I KNOW Hila's blogged about already, we had a relaxing Halloween (ya right) in the witch (like my play on words here) we went to Saria's school carnival, let them play a few games, and took them down the "trick or treat street" they had there. Saria was absolutely excited about the school thing, but we only stayed there for about an hour, then we came home and waited for Hila, Mom, Christina, Nick, and Desiree to arrive so we could all go to the Trunk or Treat together at the church. That was a lot of fun! The kids' buckets filled quickly and they really had a good time. I was so proud of Samuel for walking up to this seriously scary guy, laughing, and saying "trick or treat." If it was me, I woulda run for the hills. Maybe he's not such a wuss after all. Anyway, after we went trunk or treating, Mom and Hila came back to the house and we watched the Garfield Halloween episode off the computer, and then we watched the Peanuts Halloween too. The kids laughed their butts off when POOR Charlie Brown says, "I got a rock." THEN Mom forced Brad to youtube a bunch of stuff including "They're Coming to Take Me Away AHAH" and something about ... "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" or something.. like that.. anyway, I'd never heard that one before and Brad straight out refused to look it up so mom had to take the computer over to get that one out of him. I'll have you know that after Hila and Mom left.. Brad SANG that song...Just wanted to let you know that.. he was sooooooo against playing it, buthe sang it afterwards. Then he tells me that it's because you get the most annoying one stuck in your head. Uh huh..sure ;P
