Why I Love my Nerdy Husband a.k.a. Opposites Attract

Okay, can Jamie & I be more different??? Tonight while Jamie was toiling away on a work project, he took a little break to read some comics online:

Sorry, it is kind of blurry, you can click on the comic, and it will link you to a better copy.

Now, some might say "Inquiring Minds Want to Know" (of course all those people who would say that would have to be over 30 or so). So what does my crazy nerd husband do???



Yes Ladies & Gentlemen, he figures out what it says (that is a scanned copy of his answer key) and just in case you can't read what it says, it says is "Paige Fox is bad at math"

The high point of my day, on the other hand, was being given this super awesome box of candy:
Is that the coolest thing you have ever seen? They are Twilight Conversation Hearts, they say things like "dazzle", "bite me" and "lamb" and the flavors are Orange Obsession, Tempting Apple and Passion Fruit. I love it, and it completely made my day.

So what conclusions can we draw about this? The highlight of Jamie's day was conquering 26 math equations to figure out a punch line of a comic strip, and the highlight of my day was receiving candy relating to an adolescent fiction novel. What can you say, opposites attract...

Also, my husband is cool...and I think big brains are hot...no, seriously...

The Joy of "Easter Bunny Eggs"

So it all started a few weeks before Easter when we went to the city's annual Easter Egg Hunt. It started out innocent enough, we reviewed the concept of an Easter egg hunt with Kaiya, and she kind of understood, but not really. When we got there that chilly Saturday morning, and she saw all the other little kids standing around with their Easter basket, she became mildly interested.

When they dropped the ropes and the kids went running out to go pick up eggs, she found that pretty interesting, and then she realized there were bags of Goldfish Crackers out on the field! That was GREAT! She ran around the other kids, picking up eggs, and gathered bags of fish. She even stopped to pose for a picture, kinda...

After the maylay was finished, we sat down with Kaiya to comb through her loot. When she opened one of the few plastic eggs she picked up and candy fell out!!!

Well! The Easter Bunny officially became a person of interest!

It was like you could see the wheels turning, "You mean the Easter Bunny will bring candy???!?!" After that several times a day, Kaiya would ask if there were Easter Bunny Eggs for her yet. I told her not yet, but that the Easter Bunny would visit Grandma & Buddy's house in a few weeks. After a few times telling her this, she started telling me several times a day that "Easter Bunny eggs at Grandma & Buddy's later" (which actually sounds like yayter, not later).

When the big day finally came, we arrived at Grandma & Buddy's and she was so excited to see them, that she didn't remember that it was Easter Bunny Egg day. So she went through her Easter basket from Grandma & Buddy.

Then we took some pictures.



Then while Jamie & I & Kaiya all changed out of our church clothes, the Easter Bunny hid eggs all over the living room (it was kind of a rainy, yucky day).

Overall, it was a great day. Happy Easter everybody!
