So I'm a little behind on posts (did I mention the super human Easter Egg Hunt I hosted)..
A little back story on my April Fool's Day prank: We never, ever do April Fool's day gags (ever). This year we have had a year from hell! Between the economy, the government buying GM = no job for my hubs, a new baby, well we will just stop there and say it's been less than fun. Things are actually brightening up. My husband has his old job back and is doing very well, my job has picked up dramatically and the kids are great so why not have a little fun! Oh boy!
I called my husband up to the bathroom in the mist of the morning shuffle (I thought it best to catch him when he was distracted). I simply called him into the bathroom and pointed at the counter top. Holding the coffee mug over my mouth so that he couldn't see me smiling like a hyena I pointed to a pregnancy test on the counter top and walked off. It was one of the digital ones that says "pregnant" so there was no mistaking the results. My very tanned husband turned white, bolted past me and said "It can't be" about 100 times. He freaked, I followed and he nearly passed out cold. I was trying to catch him to say April Fools! Finally I yelled down the hall "Honey, It's April Fools". He marched back towards me and said "Are you sure"? "Your NOT"? "I'm NOT", I said. He didn't speak to me for the rest of the day until he text me about a huge meeting he had later in the day. He very elaborately set up a phone call where he let me over hear his boss fire him. Yep that's how we roll! Terrify the be-jesus out of each other!
I'm smarter than him and got it of course, but kudos honey! Oh and that pregnancy test was from the 1YO.
Sorry guys for the pain in the ass comment sign in issue- I think I fixed it!!

good jokes. happy to read your husband has his old job back. i look forward to returning to work once my son is in school full-time. was i supposed to keep my pregnancy test sticks? my sister kept all of hers. i thought it was gross pulling out this bag with, like, 10 tests in it. she gave no reason as to why she still had them...

Kiki- I have no idea why I kept them! My girlfriends did so I did too. Its in a zippy in a rubbermaid shoe box w/ the hospital bracelets, etc. Pretty gross though! My MIL had my husbands shriveled up 40 year old ambilical cord in an album! Yikes! So maybe theres a one up gross story! Ill have to ask some one why we kept these. Maybe we are all keeping years old pee sticks for no reason!

Snort. I think my husband actually WOULD have passed out! That's a good one, for sure.

Amber- I bet you are right! The best part was him running away shouting this cant be.. It just cant be! you said that there was no way this could happen as his head spun round and round!
I keep thinking what if I wasnt joking? But then again if I wasnt joking I would have passed out!
