For years....decades? The Addie and Krisser have SWORN our house is haunted or has Artificial Intelligence (AI)....we always joked about it as they recited their 'proof'. We chided they had 'overactive imaginations' and had watched 'too many horror films'. Well, I think I am starting to be a AI Believer....here is why. For weeks I have droned on about our bathroom makeover of 2 of our 3 bathrooms and how it was a dash to finish them before our company came....we were surprised and relieved to have them done the Sunday night before our company came Monday....went to bed all cozy and able to breathe and relax...then at 11 am the toilet in the untouched bathroom started spewing water like no other....it was out of nowhere and of course required lots of cleanup and a quick call to the remodelers to come back and redo this bathroom. Is this proof that AI was jealous (human emotion) and created this event for a left out bathroom makeover?????
.....#oh.so.close.to.really.being.done.but.not.
Oh well, she said.....
So my mom rolled in (well, I drove up to OC airport to pick her up) and we were so happy to have her here. She may be 87 but she can out do any of us! Here were are 4 generations and a random stranger at Brody's ball game.....
The kitchen is where she wants to be...however my kitchen is so small it requires many trips to the grocery store to keep her in baking supplies....
And they sprawl into my dining room area....which plays havoc with my OCD, but I love it and love her more than my OCD bothers me!
Cookies - Oatmeal with choc chips, Oatmeal with cranberries, Oatmeal with peanut butter chips....
Yummy mac and cheese......
The best banana bread ever!
Random: Loved my Easter paper plates and napkins this year....
Picket fence Jelly Bean candy trap.....found the picket fence wood tray while thrifting in OC waiting for mom's plane to come in....
Also found this vintage type tray....not sure what I will be using it for yet.....
Dylan picked his first crop of strawberries! So proud....
I finally had the chance to take the boys to pick out their fish....Brody picked a Beta and named him Cowboy....so cute!
After about an hour quizzing the aquarium staff on types of fish that would blend well with his current fish...he picked one (Whiskers, joining Fire and Ice) and 2 shrimp....but it had to be THOSE 2 SHRIMP....the patience on this staff is amazing...they are wonderful with little ones.
I also got Brody a beta aquarium and some gravel and fake plants....he just loves to have his own things and that sweet smile is all the thanks I need!
We hid 100 eggs for the egg hunt! We missed The Addie and his ninja hiding skills, but we tried our best....my favorite hide this orange on the bird of paradise....
Steve was the master of the leaf hide....
And the tree hide....
And they found 98 of the 100.....where o where the bunny hid those lost two are making us all crazy.....Brody finds one on the bird feeder!
Dylan was in turbo mode and could not capture a picture without a blurrrrrrrr
Opening the eggs....mostly filled with money some with a little candy.....
Mom was able to bring the last pieces to my cuckoo clock that my precious Auntie sent me that once belonged to my grandma and grandpa....priceless to me.
And speaking of Spring Tales....look what I found today at the Thrift store!!!!
I have always wanted to put the Christmas tree on a vintage sled....this was a huge find for me and a great price....nothing says spring more than a sled in your thrift basket and I don't need AI to tell me that!
