ASHLEY AND NIEL BROUGHT OVER THEIR KIDS last weekend for an Easter Egg hunt. This means we got to hide the eggs and watch three children scramble in chaos to get to them first. We fully expect to keep finding eggs  in the near future that weren’t discovered by their stubby little hands. Last year, it was the egg in the tree that mom and dad found six months later (mom, what was even in that thing?!).  This year, it was the egg I hid in the cat food bowl. We like to think of it as little surprises for ourselves. I just hope that the ones we find later on are the ones Ashley the Easter Bunny filled with dollar bills.

Meet the Contestants:

Aspen

I loved watching Aspen find her first egg…and it got even better when she figured out that if you squeeze really really hard, candy pops out.

Abby

All I want for Christmas is for her to KEEP missing her two front teeth. They’re adorable.

This is by far my favorite picture of Abby. Look how happy and proud she is of her clutch. And look at Aspen in the background, checking out her butt! Just teasing, that’s her way of saying “Dude,  I got your back, just in case Jake comes to shove you down for that egg”.

Jake

I think someone is going to be a major heart breaker later on in life.

Let the games begin!

No. They are not fighting over a pole. They are competing for the egg sitting on the top, but neither could climb it. So I lifted them up, and the egg was stuck. Epic fail.

Speaking of Epic Fail…Um…This is only one out of the five times that this happened. Eventually Ashley told Jake to play nice and he left to find other eggs, which meant Abby scored big time on the loot he overlooked.

Diggin the grass stains on Jake’s knee. It got pretty vicious.

And finally, the coordinators of this olympic event, my Momma and big/best sister Ashley.

PS: Mom wants me to tell everyone that her coat looks like a marshmallow.

I think it’s rather cute.

Machelle told her that its a marshmallow coat and now she won’t wear it as much, which is still better than the time I told her a necklace she bought looked like a witch necklace and she won’t wear it at all.

Mom, wear the necklace. It’s beautiful.

PPS: Ash, I stole the smarties as payment for the pictures, and they were delicious. Just thought I’d let you know.

THANK YOU TO ALL MY CONTESTANT PEEPS.

*coughs* Kamie and Dottie mainly *cough cough*. I appreciate your comments and guesses! I will now divulge the ever important answers to my April Fool’s guessing game.

But first, I must talk about these chicks here. Aren’t the darling? The second I saw them, I forgot what it was that I had went into Cal Ranch for and started snapping pictures instead. I was tempted to buy one. Or two. Or five, considering they were only $1.06 per chickie. I’ve  spent that much on four measly McDonald’s chicken nuggets, so that much for one real chicken seems like such a deal!

I would name him/her/all of them Nugget.

Now onto more important things.

Number 1: “Pooping in the pool is NOT cool” is a sign I had the pleasure of viewing recently.

TRUE. It was yesterday, while I was swimming with Ashley and her children, and we laughed about it all night.

Number 2: I may be writing a post about the “number two” and yes by number two, I do mean poop.

True. But it won’t be morbid, or disgusting. Just hilarious (at least to me. But hey, this is my online journal so to speak).

Number 3: I’m notorious for saying things that I don’t mean.

False. I try my hardest to be an honest person. That doesn’t mean that I don’t “stretch the truth”, but I don’t outright lie to people. One of my biggest pet peeves is having someone be disappointed in me so I’ll go to any lengths to avoid that.

Number 4: I’m engaged!

False. You already know I’m not and won’t be for a while if ever. The only way this could’ve fooled you is if  a) you live under a rock, b) you don’t read my posts or c) you aren’t friends with me on Plurk, Facebook, or Twitter.

Number 5: I sang the Wizard of Oz song “Dun nun Dun Nun dun na na na na dunna dunna na nun!” to make a point lately.

True. And someone almost died because of this.

Ashley and I were driving home from swimming, and we were slowing at a stop sign. I see this long boarder coming and I didn’t want us to hit him so I pointed. The description long boarder in itself doesn’t do him justice. Imagine your favorite Hansen Brother -  except with dirty sneakers, ripped jeans, a flannel shirt, and with his hair flapping in the breeze behind him. So what did I do? Said, “Watch out for DunDun Nun dun na na na na dunna dunna na nun!” Ash later told me she was tempted to hit him just because I sang that.

Number 6: I have a favorite TV Show that I watch as often as I can.

False. I’m not big on watching TV or series for that matter . Don’t hate because I don’t watch Idol, Dancing with the Stars and America’s Best Dance Crew. Just because I don’t watch them doesn’t mean that I haven’t heard about them. I’d rather spend my time with my nose stuck in a good book.

Number 7: I have an ever-constant fear of being abducted by someone hiding in my stairwell.

True. This conversation sums it up.

Ash: Aub, be careful living in this part of town. It’s dark and creepy.

Me: I know.

Ash: No seriously, you could get kidnapped.

Me: I have motion lights on the house, and I always look around before I get out of my car.

Ash: That doesn’t matter. For all you know, they could just walk around the side of the house once they see that you’re home.

Needless to say, it started raining that night, and I was too chicken to see if the sound was the weather or some serial killer outside of my window.

Number 8: I lost twenty bucks recently and still haven’t gotten over it.

True. It was in my pocket one minute, and gone the next. I like to think of it as I made someones day.

Number 9: I signed up for college and start classes on May 6th. My Birthday is on the 2nd. Happy Birthday to me – math classes! Oh joy!

False. This was kind of a trick question, because my Birthday really is on the 2nd, and classes really do start on the 6th. The only thing is I’m not registered yet. Can you say slacker?

Number 10: I am an obsessive blog stalker and I check for comments all the time.

True! I love reading other people’s posts and getting a taste for their lives. I’m a blog stalker, but don’t worry. That doesn’t mean I’m going to Google your address and show up at your house. Chillax. I just like your blog, ok? Oh what was that? I haven’t commented on your blog? Leave me your blog address in the comment box and I’d love to keep up with you.
