Prank Wars..

Talk about a mess! This had to have been one of the most fun weeks at school. We had prank wars in my apartment. It all started with cupcakes. I baked cupcakes for my roommates and things kinda got out of control. Krissi was in the kitchen helping me make the cupcakes. She was mixing the batter when all of a sudden, some jumped out of the bowl, and onto my arm. She knew it was on from there! When she wasn’t looking, I took a spoonful of batter and somehow managed to throw it on her nose! After much fighting, cake batter was everywhere. The cupboards, the fridge, the floor, and the sink, all covered in chocolate batter. This was the start of the craziest week ever.
The following day, Krissi told me that I should sleep with one eye open since I covered her face in chocolate the night before! LOL.. So Sam and I went shopping that day, and when we came home, all havoc broke loose. Krissi wrapped all my belongings in aluminum foil! From my lamp to my bed frame, it was all covered in shiny foil. Payback was most definitely coming her way. The next day while she was at class, I covered her side of the room with toilet paper. I asked her roommate Courtney to help, but she said no way. At the fear of pranks being pulled on her, she didn’t want to get involved. I told her that was a wise decision. LOL.. When Krissi came back, and saw her room like that, she plotted for something even more serious. The next day, I came back to find my comforter and pillows on my bed frame. Without a mattress on it! She took my mattress off my bed and put it the storage space we have in our apartment! The war is still going on, so we shall see what I come up with for next week!

About Time..

This past week, the girls and I decided that after 9 weeks of living in a colorless apartment, it was time to decorate! Krissi came up with the idea of tie-dye coffee filters on the wall. This was an all day event! We bought 200 hundred coffee filters, and food coloring. We sat, folded, and dipped all day. The colors and patterns were so cool. No two coffee filters came out looking the same. We mixed colors and came up with so many different ways of how to fold them. After they were dry, we taped them to the wall in our living room. We found posters of our favorite bands and singers, and put those on the wall as well. All the colors go together beautifully. Our living room isn’t so plain and boring anymore.     
            On the window, we put up Thanksgiving decorations. We put posters in our kitchen and in the hallway of the bathroom. Better late than never, we always say.. so we’re happy that we finally took the time to put up decorations and not live in a colorless place. LOL..
Sam and I are trying to find the time to do arts and crafts. We thought it would be cute to make frames and plaques for the apartment. We figured we can put pictures of all of us in them and write different things on the plaques. Our apartment still needs some décor, so this would be a good start. Who knows what ideas we’ll come up with next..
