Tease

We told the girls if they were really good while we were gone to San Antonio we would bring something home for them. I am one who loves to tease! While we were on the plane I leaned over to Adam and told he couldn't eat his complimentary peanuts and he needed to give them to me. I wished you could have seen his face. I'm sure some of his first thought were, boy flying must really make her hungry. ;) No, I had another plan in mind. I told him that I wanted to tease the girls and tell them that their special prize we brought back for them were airplane peanuts! He totally agreed! We spent our last connecting flight home trying to decide how to pull it off. We didn't get home until 1:00 a.m., and of course the girls were sound asleep. The next morning we told them that we had some fun things for them! They sat on the bar stools waiting with excitement and anticipation!

Adam told them to close their eyes and he would put the surprise in their hand. He then told them to open their eyes and this was there expression! No one said anything for what seemed like minutes. I love Kourtney's face! Adam told them that these weren't just any peanuts but "airline peanuts". You can't just go out and buy these! They still didn't say a thing. Adam once again told them to close their eyes because that wasn't the only thing we had brought them. He put yet another package of peanuts in their hands and had them open their eyes again! Makell didn't quite know what to think. I think Kourtney and Kaitlyn thought this was some terrible nightmare! We knew it was time to pull out the "real" surprise when our sensitive child had tears welling up. Adam and I couldn't quit giggling! It was so funny! Are we mean parents?

I later asked them why they didn't say anything after the first package of peanuts and Kaitlyn said, "I didn't want to hurt your feelings, but I 'm sure glad you brought us something beside peanuts"!

Yes of course we brought back more than just airplane peanuts! We found some fun fingernail polish that changes a totally different color when in the sun, hair clips that also change color, tote bags, and earrings.
