Color me not colorblind....

There has been a color explosion at our house getting ready for our color party. Buddy caught wind of his  surprise party and had a few suggestions to take it up a notch.....or 20! We made 5 dozen colored eggs....of course with that much work, we had to call in reinforcements....

Do you like how they're wearing gloves? Seriously, what happened to the good ole' days of just getting stained and dirty...I guess I can't blame them since I started wearing them first and then they wanted to be cool (and stain free) like me! Then we made a very colorful cake...

Buddy thought that was the coolest thing in the world. Unfortunately, I didn't ingest enough to see the cool effects that come out of it all tomorrow (if you catch my drift that is). Then, to top off all of our awesome party planning ideas, we made color bombs....

Buddy gets 100% of the credit for this one. The party I planned did not include kids throwing colored cornstarch at each other....

Apparently, this is not the party I planned!!!! The Easter Bunny dropped off Buddy's Color for the colorblind glasses this morning. He was super excited and has worn them ALL DAY LONG.,,,He even forgot to take them off for the color bombing (see above picture)! He sat down and picked out the colors he hasn't been able to see before...

These are the ones from his box of crayons that he's been missing. He kept taking breaks throughout the day so he could take it all in....

Tonight I made sure that we caught a sunset together to see if he's been missing some of the spectacularness...

When he went to bed, I asked him if he loved any of the new colors he got to see today. Then he told me that he likes being colorblind because it makes all of the other colors even brighter. Hmmm, who knew?  I offered to return the glasses, which unfortunately led to a crying meltdown about the whole thing. Poor kid thought we meant for him to have to wear the glasses for eternity, then I had to explain those glasses are just a party trick to be whipped out on special occasions and ONLY if he wanted to. Hopefully he won't ask for a party EVERY TIME he decides to wear them! So all in all a super fantastic, love being colorblind, day!

Helpful....

Buddy's been really "helpful" lately. Carrying my heavy groceries....

 Giving me a lift when my legs were just too tired to keep me afloat....

 And extremely helpful to the window washers that really enjoy the job of cleaning boogers off of storefront windows.....

In other news, Buddy has made his directorial debut, and like any good director, he couldn't resist making a cameo appearance...

I think he may need a little work on his tact though, I got fired from my job after 1 take because I wasn't doing my part just right. Sheesh....everyone's a critic! So all in all a super fantastic, being helpful, day!

Just not right....

Today is April Fool's, one of my favorite holidays. I'm pretty certain it's a holiday and not just a "day". Although I was looking for cards today to verify true holiday status and they don't sell April Fool's Day cards????? I think I'm going to start and make a fortune! We did our usual Jell-o/ orange juice in the morning, with our frozen bowl of cereal. Buddy forgot his glasses so I took them to him buried in a box underneath a pile of pennies. When he got home he headed straight to this piece of work (Shane's had Saran Wrap)!

For desert we had sponge cake...

 Which turned out to be a lot more spongy than cake...but the whipped cream still tastes the same!

I do really need to start coming up with some more awesome pranks....well, I came up with more awesome ones, but apparently they are all banned at school....go figure! Anyway, Buddy's been afraid to eat, drink, brush his teeth or basically do anything just in case it's been pranked! Maybe that's even better than the actual pranking? In other news, I'm starting to get ready for our "Colorful Easter" Party on Sunday. Is it totally wrong that since I bought 200 Easter Eggs to hide and I don't want the kids all hopped up on sugar x 200 I started stuffing the eggs with leftover Halloween supplies?

The kids won't mind right, as long as there is something there....right???? I'll just keep telling myself that! In other news, 

So all in all a super fantastic, something just not right here, day!

Screen Actors Guild....

Yesterday, while Buddy was suppose to be cleaning the upstairs, while I cleaned the downstairs, he got a little side tracked working on this project.....

He did about 10 different versions, all of course with the same ending! Then he came downstairs and told me that he really ought to be in the movies.....like I haven't known that for years! So all in all a super fantastic, honing our procrastination and our acting skills, day! 

Wild Goose Chase....

Buddy had the day off of school today, also known as the best excuse ever for going on a wild goose chase with a few boys...

  

Thank goodness the boys were smart enough to arm themselves for the "chase"....

Seriously, what is it with boys where EVERY SINGLE STICK immediately becomes a weapon? Anyway, back to the chase. The boys got side tracked a few times....

Or more like a million times, but do I need to remind you of this awesome stick?

I mean, come on now, how often do you find bazooka sized stick guns.....other than all the time????!!! Finally the boys found their prey....unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately for the goose) they were more afraid of the goose than the goose was afraid of them.

I cannot confirm or deny that those boys were bribed to get close enough to the goose for a picture! So all in all a super fantastic, one wild goose down, errrr, not sure of the wild goose population on the Big Island so we'll just say multiple geese to go, day!

So wrong it's gotta be right....

Buddy was taking pictures of himself on my phone again.....I think there may be something wrong with him....

Ahhhh, who am I kidding, I think he is just right!!!! So all in all a super fantastic, drooling like a goober, day!

Busted....

I sent Buddy to school sick today, Buddy turned himself into the school nurse at recess to be evaluated. She asked him if his parents knew that if he was sick. He of course outed us and said that we knew (what can I say, they only get a few sick days and we have family coming to visit us), then she asked him why in the world his parents would send him to school sick! Gah!!!! My perfect parenting record is busted....again. In other news, while rifling through my phone photos I found this gem....

You are welcome! So all in all a super fantastic, busted, day!
