....its COLD out here and my feet are frozen.




Pranks we've played on Brandt:

Stapler in the jello. That was a good one. He posed just like Dwight for the picture.






Disappearing staples. He just keeps on refilling his stapler(s) and they just remain empty. He was a good sport about that one. I think he thought he was losing his mind until he figured out it was a prank.


Blasting speakers. Brandt likes to listen to opera and country (what a combination!!) through his computer speakers. His office is upstairs and most days he's alone up there. Believe me, we can still hear it. So when he goes to lunch, we just turn up his speakers and the volume on his computer as loud as they go. He presses play and Voila! Recipe for disaster. Especially when other employees are working upstairs with him at that time.


Going to the mall. While Brandt was at lunch, we decided to move our cars out of the parking lot (so it was completely empty), turn off all the lights and lock the front door. We put a note on the door that said, "We got bored so we went to the mall. We won't be back." We came in the back door, ran upstairs to Brandt's area and hid. Actually we played hangman on the white board. Brandt came back from lunch about 10 minutes into the game, went to his desk and started working away. Apparently he knew we were hiding but thought it would be funny to make us pee our pants with adrenaline....We sneaked out the backdoor after taking our shoes off, thinking we could go around front and scare him. Well. He locked us out. So now we're out there, barefoot in freezing weather, the neighboring offices are watching us and we're screaming because there is Brandt in the window like a looming Grim Reaper. He finally let us in but not until our feet were frozen and all the Bank of America employees got a good look at us.

HIJACK

This post is not coming to you VIA Jennifer. This is her husband, Erik. I decided to hijack her blog (ah...the things you can do when in possession of another's password) and tell her how I feel about her. This will probably not be posted for long, I am sure as soon as she sees it she will remove it. HERE GOES! Jennifer, my dear, I love you oh so very much. On Monday is our 1 year anniversary! A whole year! That may not seem like much, but my oh my it has flown by quickly. Since you are a relative young'un that year actually represents around 4.76% of your entire lifespan(thus far). I still keep my eye out for things that represent 'US'. Who can forget the 'EJ' Truck? I have never stopped looking for, nor noting 28s as they pop up all over the place. I notice all of the little things you do. I notice the little faces you make. I notice the little noises you make. I notice the slight shifting of your posture in response to my incessant joking. This face was made...

One Month Old

Tyler turned one month old on Friday! He has grown and changed a lot just in the last couple of weeks. It is so much fun to watch him now that he is smiling and holding his head all the way up and clasping his hands together--interlaced as if in prayer. He is the cutest baby (ok, so I'm biased). We've had a hard week though (make that almost two weeks--I've been trying to publish this post for 5 days). The other day he screamed for almost 24 hours straight. Luckily Jaime came over to show me how to help relieve his gas and he calmed down for a couple of hours. He has been up all night, up all day and just kind of hard to deal with. Of course I still love him, which is weird. Usually its hard to love someone who deprives you of sleep. :) Update: Like I said, I have been trying to publish this for almost a week--I have had literally no time between work and a screaming baby and laundry and dishes and cooking and cleaning but alas I think I now have 5 minutes! Anyway, Ty...
