Surprises

It all started out sweetly enough. I gave Jayson a brown bag with some fun things in in for Valentines. It said something like "A brown paper package all tied up with string, here are a few of your favorite things." I filled it with a Pepsi, a Coke, Cadbury eggs, Resee's eggs, his favorite Chapstick, Brownies (are you sensing a food theme? He loves food.) and the last item was silly string. He ate all the goodies and used the Chapstick. Pretty soon all that was left was the silly string. It was just sitting there all lonely in the now empty brown bag. Naturally, I felt bad for it. 

So I used it last night. 

On Jayson of course, it was his gift after all.

 He was standing there looking at the computer completely oblivious to the lonely silly string. 

Spsssst. 

I hit him square on the cheek. It was perfect. He gave me this look like "Really Andrea?"

Spssssst. 

Yup. Really. 

It was on like Donkey Kong!

After he finally tackled me down and took the silly string away and hid it, I formulated my plan. 

Today after work I took the kids to Target and we got three more bottles of silly string. 

And then we waited for Daddy to get home. 

The conspirators all ready to go!

Jewel kept a look out for Daddy! 

Wait for it...

Ava thought this was pretty cool.

The aftershot.

Ironically, I got it the worst. But it was fun!

This may become a regular occurrence in our household. How have I not known how much fun silly string is? I apparently was deprived. :)
