Jello Shinanigans

Alright, so when the going gets tough, the tough get Jell-O. Last field day at the school was Russel's last day of school. Well, Krista and I couldn't just let that go. Also, I had just introduced Krista to "The Office" and now she's absolutely in love with Jim Halpert. So, that's where we got the idea from.

We took Russel's classroom key and set it in Jello. It was great. It was easy enough to sneak it off of his key ring. However, I think I inadvertantly lied to him. I saw him the previous night and he asked me, "So do you know what happen to my key?" but he asked it in a tone like he was telling me a story-- like, "so do you know what my dog did today?" I told him, "No, I don't know," as in "No, tell me your story." Well he proceeded to tell me that he had his key there one minute and gone the next. How was I to tell him that his key was at that moment sitting in my fridge setting in Jello?

The next day, I set the beautiful Jello on his desk and awaited his arrival. Krista was sick, but she managed to come in for the shady dealings. Russel got a good laugh, and then his student, Ramzy, proceeded to eat the key out of the Jello.

Chicago Trip

I've been having a rather difficult time with computers lately. But since I'm at my mom's right now I thought I'd update my blog.

Krista and I had a chance to go to Chicago this last Spring Break. It was a lot of fun. People down south are crazy (and sometimes really rude). I would like to go back to Chicago some time, but the rest of it, they can keep!

This is Krista with her amazing niece, Autumn. She's only shy of 8 months in this picture. She's such an awesome baby. We would have totally kidnapped her if we could have gotten by Krista's mother.

The architecture in Chicago was quite amazing. I now understand how tourist can just stand in the middle of the street and look around. The buildings are so tall that they pretty much blot out the sun. There were a couple of spots that I swear I've seen on "Due South." I think it's pretty cool that I've walked where Benton Fraiser did!

We went to the House of Sell-outs...oops, I mean Blues. I was on "a mission from gawd" to get my husband a Blues Brothers hat. I did him one better. I not only got him a hat, but a shirt and a hamonica (aw... what we do for the men we love). I also had a very beautiful and yummy desert of banana bread pudding.

It was a great time. Krista and I discovered that conceirges rule! On the way back, we figured that the airport security people had probably the most thankless jobs, especially at 5 o'clock in the morning. So instead of being the Blues Brothers, we decided to be the Joy Sisters and get a smile or two. And what do you know, we were successful.
