The weekend started of innocent enough. J's dad came down from MA and on Saturday the three of us treked the 2 1/2 hour ride to south jersey under the guise of an innocent early easter with the family. That night some other friends who lived in upstate NY stopped by "unexpectedly" and we settled in for a lovely dinner, with everyone in on the joke that would commence at 5 am.
So early the next morning, while everyone was sleeping, Cin had arranged for a neighbor to "steal" GG car, so when 6 am rolled around, and GG got up to get the supplies for his prank, which were in his car, the tone was set for the day. Shortly after he began making coffee - but the regular and the decaf were switched and it took 3 pots before anyone told him what was going on. Now, mind you there was a house full of family and friends at this poing, GG's car is missing, he has no caffene and the doorbell rings and it's a friend with all his tools "expecting" GG to refinish the floors and do some work around the house. Eventually everyone woke up and a large breakfast of pancakes, sausage, eggs and scrapple were a 'cookin.
At this point J fell into the danger of April 1st when he realized that his pancakes were made not of yummy batter, but batter covered cardboard. GG finally began to suspect that the day was going to be a bit more than the family in the morning when the neigbor shows up with his car and GG sees the mounds of food for the all day party!.
Of course, Jack wasn't the only innocent bystander who was part of the collateral damage. When GG's car was back, and Cin was to observent, GG's plan to saran wrap her car wound up at plan b - they got my car instead.
All in all, it was a great day! Some soccer, lots of food, good birthday cake and family - who could ask for more than that!
