Enjoying April Fools...

Yesterday was Jason's favorite holiday of the year...April Fools! I'm not sure that Jason realized when he married me that I was such a natural at this holiday. My family and friends weren't use to me "pulling pranks", so it was/is actually easier for me to get people than Jason. It was all in good fun and hopefully you got some people too. Some of our best...

*Jason told someone at work that someone in China had pulled a scam on their office and now they have access to their bank account. Needless to say the person started to freak out before Jason revealed..."April Fools!"

* I called my dad and informed him that I had gone to Petsmart to buy some dog food and couldn't help myself when I saw a pitbull up for adoption. I believe my dad's exact words were, "Julia, what is wrong with you??". Haha...April Fools!

* The best of the night was when I called my brother and informed him that for him to be the godfather he would have to spend the entire day of the baptism in a 8 hour class about how to be a good godparent (this would have been extra annoying considering my brother lives in Minnesota and I don't get to see him much already). He was doing such a good job trying not to sound totally pissed. Then I said..."You know it's important to me that you are the godparent so you can teach Aspen lots of things. For example...how to pull good pranks." His response was, "Sure, sure. So what do you think they talk about in this class for 8 hours??". I couldn't believe he didn't get the first hint, but I guess he was consumed with annoyance about the news. So I said, "Maybe they teach you HOW TO PULL GOOD PRANKS!". Finally he got it and I could hear the relief in his voice.

* My last attempt for a couple of jokes was to send out a text to a few friends stating "Aspen just walked!!". Everyone fell for it, but as Jason said...maybe I shouldn't use my baby. I told him Aspen asked to be involved in any way she could :)

Jason tried to pull some jokes on his family, but I think all the years of pranks has caused them to never believe anything he says on this day.

Aspen has been teething really bad the last few days. A low grade fever, tons of drooling, and overall crankiness. Yesterday we were playing and then she just started snuggling on me. She never does this! It was so sweet.
