April Fools

So Hudson played a really good April Fools joke on me this morning.  Pretty good since he's only 2.  Nate took Braiden and Brody to the Jazz game last night, and they got in late so I was letting them sleep in this morning.  Hudson woke up at his usual 7:20 he got out of OUR bed and I (being the wonderful mother that I am) rolled over and kept sleeping.  20 minutes later I woke up...not a sound could be heard.  Hmm I thought I'd better go make sure he is not bugging the boys, go down stairs... no Hudson.  Hmmm I thought maybe he got back in bed and I didn't even notice...back upstairs...no Hudson.  Now I start looking a little bit better, in the pantry, in the laundry room behind the couch...no Hudson.  Maybe he got in bed with one of the boys...back down stairs, not in bed with Braiden, not in bed with Brody, not in the toy room or extra bedroom.  Starting to panic, there's no way he could have gotten outside, but there's still the underlying fear.  Back into our bedroom to look in our closet- and there he was under Nate's clothes...fast asleep.  I guess he just missed his daddy! 

When I was little every day was April Fools Day to my brother Scott.  He liked saying tricky things and then saying April Fools after.  I don't remember any of the things he would say or do but I can still to this day hear him saying "April Fools!"

And this is NO joke. Any one want a dog?? I am so sick of my dog that I could pull my hair out.  In fact I will pay someone to take her off my hands!!!  She is constantly running away and I am sick of loading up the troops to go looking for her.  We keep her penned up 98% of the time but we have to let her out to go to the bathroom. She takes advantage of that 2% and runs off, she can not be trusted!!!  Last night when Nate was gone she ran off and it was late late at night (10:00 ish.) I had to load up the younger 2 and go looking for her, GRRRRR! I. Have. Had. It.

two words: SHOCK COLLAR!!!!
It's the best thing we've ever done. It took 10 mins for our dog to learn to quit running off. We haven't been as presistant as we should and yet she still is awesome! Good luck

I am so glad you found HUDSON :)

One word: Walks

Put her on a lease and walk her, they do better if you excersize them. If you are like me I know you have time to do that. I know Kristy wanted to shoot me and Atticus since I had to take the spaz out. Or Atticus needs a friend, except you would need to fix on of them. :-)

April fools is such a fun holiday for kids! I am sorry about the dog thing! I feel that way sometimes too!

That's funny about Hudson. I can totally see Cole doing something like that. Fortunately, he still sleeps in his crib and has not tried to escape yet. I'm going to let him stay in there as long as I can; because I just know that he is going to wander around and cause mischief once we introduce the big boy bed. Freedom!
