Crazy Busy month

April has been crazy busy. A few weeks back - Sunday night I cleaned the house and made dinner for my relatives who came over. I made chicken enchiladas, salad and asparagus. We had a delicious sponge cake with fruit and whipping cream for dessert. It was delicious.

After they left I cleaned up for Monday nights activities. The girls came over (like they do every Monday night to cook dinner). We made simple grilled cheese sandwiches while we dyed easter eggs. This was the girls first time dying eggs. Once Rick got home he picked the best looking egg and we taught the girls how to make deviled eggs. 

Tuesday night I cooked and cleaned because I hosted the book club at my house this month. We read the book called The Egypt Game, an award winning children's book.

Wednesday night I didn't have to cooked and cleaned but I did have to shop, set up and pick up 4 girls for mutual. We dyed easter eggs with the YW for our activity. Danny won for having the best looking easter egg. She won a chocolate bunny.

Thursday night was my only free night. However, Rick worked late so I didn't even get to spend time with him. I couldn't go to bed early because I had to pick him up at the bart station at 11:00pm.

Friday I spent the morning cleaning and running arrands. In the afternoon, I picked up 4 YW and my friend Angel and we headed to Livermore for a girls night slumber party. We stayed at my parents house just to get away from Oakland. We made homemade pizza for dinner, ate lots of junk food, candy, popcorn and ice cream, played tons of games, went in the hot tub and watched a movie on the big screen TV. In the morning we made French toast for breakfast. It was delicious. We then rode around the backyard on the quads. The girls had never been on a quad before. Then we headed home.

All that in one week. I'm exhausted, I must be getting old.

April Fool's

I saw on Alice's gmail that her husband Jared tried to play an April Fool's joke on her by wrapping the toilet seat with saran wrap. It didn't work, she was smarter than that. However it made me laugh and gave me an idea. 

I thought it would be funny to try it out on Rick. However, I forgot to do it after work on the first, so I ended up doing it on the second instead.

I wrapped the toilet seat with saran wrap and put the lid down. I was surprised at how good it looked. You couldn't even tell there was saran wrap. The next trick was to figure out how to get Rick to go to the bathroom with out putting the toilet seat up and with the light off.

This is how it went down. I picked Rick up from the Bart station after work and told him that the bathroom light was out. He said "Let's stop by the store and get a bulb". I told him that I would pick one up at Walmart tomorrow, and that the dim light was working still. I then went on to say that I have been trying real hard lately to put the kitchen scrubber into the holder rather than leaving it in the sink and asked him to try a little harder to quietly put the toilet seat down after using it (these are both things we have been working on lately). I then suggested that maybe he should think about keeping the toilet seat down when going to the bathroom. He started laughing. He couldn't believe that his wife was telling him to keep the toilet seat down while going to the bathroom. He thought that was the coolest thing ever. He was cracking up in unbelief  and I was cracking up  thinking I can't believe I might pull this off.

We got home and the bathroom light was off and the dimmer light was on. You couldn't tell at all. Rick walked in and used the bathroom and didn't lift up the toilet seat and all the sudden the pee hit the saran wrap and bounced up. Rick couldn't figure out what was going on. A few seconds later we both started cracking up. He thought it was a great joke and I couldn't believe I actually was able to pull that joke off on a guy!
