Now that was a long time to be away.. I feel so bad that I have not kept up with Micah's stats like I had with T's. Let me tell ya though.. Working full time, having two kids, three dogs, a house and school to do. Leaves ZERO time to do much of anything else.
I will be back with some more updates.
Micah's will have a 9, 10 and 11 month update =)
I will have both Boy's birthday party stuff updated (Super hero themed)
Whats been going on in our house of crazyness.
Just wanted to peek my head in. Make sure my blog was still up an running.

Lots of happenings
Wow, March was here and then it was gone.. Just like that.. Now its April- can this year go any faster? I mean its not like I just didn't get done putting away my xmas stuff to have to take back down in 9 months. Good lord!
Anyhow... March has been an insanely crazy busy month. T started Tball, I'm still is school, Micah is out of control - crawling, cruising the couches, he'll be 8 months on the 7th! Every weekend we have something going on, every day during the week we have something going on, I started back at boot camp, which I love, but I am however allergic to working out! True story! It's ridiculous but I refuse to stop, I love it and I can tell that my endurance in the last 3 weeks of going is slowly gaining!!
All this stuff going on has made our schedules less than ideal and I'm really not liking it! It is what it is for right now!
My plan is to take the summer off and be with my kids, I'm thinking of working from home 2 days a week to be with them and just slow down some with them. I feel like I've missed a ton of M's milestones, T's milestones. It sucks!
School sucks- I freaking hate it! I hate Chemistry! I was so looking forward to getting back to school and being in that atmosphere, but this class is kicking my ass!! I was taking Nutrition and dropped it because this ONE chemistry class is just to much!!
I have to say though, March has been an extremely blessed month for us in a lot of ways!! John and I celebrated our 3rd year anniversary! We had such a great night! We were able to go out and have an awesome meal, he surprised me with 3 dozen red roses, a card that of course made me cry and a ice cream date after dinner. It was so nice to actually TALK, with out being interrupted, to have an actual hot meal and enjoy every single bite!! Funny how you savor the little things that once used to be so easy to have.
We've been doing more stuff around the house, after a long hiatus its time to get back at it. We are doing our landscaping in the front yard, FINALLY!! I'm so excited. The front yard has not been touched since 04 when the house was bought, than 2 years ago we had it grated and dirt brought in, to come to a halt. Since then its sat as an empty slate eyesore!
We are finishing up our living room, well I shouldn't say finishing because we are redoing it. New paint, new texture, new drywall, new baseboards through out the entire house!! Its going to be crazy!! I am excited though!
I'm starting to plan T & M's Birthday parties. This year I decided that I'm going to combine them, being that they are a month apart I just figured it would be easier. I am however making sure that Micah's big day isn't down played in shadow of T. We are having it our house again and I'm hoping (praying) that the same crap that happened last year doesn't happen again. Last year our A/C went out 3 hours before guests were to arrive, it was 115 out that day, I was HUGELY pregnant. Yea it was a mess!!
My Best friend came to town and I was able to meet up with her while she was here. I went to my first Spring training game and well, we barely watched it. We were to busy chatting and taking care kids. I took my two and she had hers and her niece. All in all it was fun! The next day we went out for drinks and dinner!! I miss this girl, I love that we are able to pick up right were we left off!!

It's a Date!!!
A Mommy and T kinda date!! I took T out with me on Sunday for a little alone time!! I try to do this monthly so he feels and knows that he's still my main dude! Not to mention I know when he needs that one on one time with just me. The acting out/fits and whining become triple overload. Unfortunately due to everything going on with life, school, bday parties etc it just kind of got put on the back burner. Big mistake!! Here's a preface as to why I like one on one time with just T, and I don't mean just taking him with me to the grocery store or running errands, I mean like a real date.
My son goes to an in home daycare. So typically its the same routine day in and day out with the exception of school. Its typically always the same kids until she gets a new one. Which was the case this month. The new little boy is about a year and half, 2 years younger than T.
Here's where I knew it was time for that one on one time, for two weeks T had been acting out, picking on his bro, whining at everything, being defiant, talking back etc. but last week on a Friday my caregiver pulled me aside and said we needed to talk, so I said whats up. She started to explain to me that T was super mean today, confused I looked at her and said explain.. She said that he went over to one of the little girls legos she just had built and he kicked it right over, went up to new boy pushed him (hard), talking back to her and telling her I don't have to, when she put him in time out he threw himself back which made him hit the curio cabinet she has. Then, she said, she was making lunch in the other room and could hear T talking to B(new kid) saying something along the lines of No, you're not allowed to go, when she walked in my kid (shakes head), my kid had B up against the couch with his hand wrapped around his neck and pushing up. MY KID did that!! WHAT THE FUCK!!!
I realize all kids can get mean and act out and talk back but my kid literally had this boy in a adult like I'm gonna fuck you up stance!! I don't find it funny or boast in the glory that yea my kid did that.. NO, that to me is absolutely unacceptable behavior. So when she finished I picked my jaw up off the floor and told her that I would have a talk with him. WOW!!! I'm not positive where he would have picked this up from. I know that T and his Dad wrestle, rough house and play fight. He's not allowed to watch cartoons that are filled with that crap, he typically watches Einsteins, Jake and the pirates, Mickey Mouse that type of stuff,as well as the super hero squad (Hulk, Iron man,Superman etc.) and occasionally we have watched Transformers(maybe from that) with him. Anyhow.. When we got home I went about our day and when I put M down for his third nap, I pulled T aside and talked to him, I asked him what happened and he explained and I asked him if he thought doing that was the right thing to do? He said No. So I know he understands. When John got home I told him what happened and I wanted him to have a more in depth talk with his son. He did and I'm hoping this doesn't happen again. So that leads me into the Mommy and T date. We woke up on Sunday and I told T to get dressed and ready. Once we were both ready we left and he didn't know where we were going until I told him in the car that we were going just him and I to breakfast and to a movie. EXCITED he was!! I took him to Ihop for breakfast and he had a blast, he got a mickey pancake and eggs.

Then we were off to see The Lorax, T doesn't quite understand Dr. Seuss and who he is just yet. I love him and thought this would be a great movie for him. I have to say it was a really cute movie and T enjoyed himself. He was able to get his own popcorn, candy and an Icee!! (holy sugar overload) We had a great day together, I love being able to have that time with him. Its not only good for him, its good for me to. I'm pulled in so many directions its hard to have that time with him.
On Monday he was headed back to school and I was curious to see how he would do. When I picked him up or caregiver said he was an absolutely different kid. That's just one day, lets see how the week goes!
All week he has been amazing. He's helpful, is listening, sharing, super sweet to his brother. Of course he has his moments where I have to get after him. I definitely think our date was what T needed.

Posts I said I would get to....
Lets start with T and M's Room's.... T's room has been finished for awhile, except the missing dirt bike silhouettes I still have not gotten. Call me lazy.. Oh well.
You've been warned!!
John and I got this on our Cruise - I thought it was super cute and fitting considering we have two boys. His room is not Pirates, but I still wanted to put it up.
Monster Trucks... I don't think T will ever get sick of his Monster Trucks. LOVE LOVE LOVE's Them!!
The decals were purchased from Fathead, they were a pain in the ASS to put up we used spray glue to make sure they don't come down.
His bed was his old crib we converted it to the full size, which he loves and honestly he's lost in it. It takes up so much of his room I feel bad, but we made it work. The rub was purchased at IKEA and he loves it. Its his little town for all his cars or monster trucks.
The wall is full of basketballs, baseballs, footballs, a hockey stick and a jersey. all which have been signed by numerous professional ball players. We also have one of Shaq's GINORMOUS shoes.
Onto M's room
Looking in from the door. This decal was purchased off of Etsy and holy hell it was a pain in the ass to put up, piece by piece we had to do it plus add extra glue. Definitely meant for flat non textured walls. but of course I wanted what I wanted and this will have to do!! At least it'll be easy to take down when its time for a change.
The picture frame was made by one of friends, the baby inside however is Not Micah. The owl bank, I found in Vegas and had to have it!
These owls from my baby shower that my sister gave me, So cute!
Oh this dresser.. This dresser has some meaning!! This used to be my dresser, My Dad made this dresser for me. The first two drawers fronts even had my name engraved on them. Its made of solid Oak and heavier than heavy!! Its been at my moms ever since I moved out and she's been asking what she wanted me to do with it. Of course I wanted to keep its sentimental to me, even more so now because my dad is gone. She asked me again when I got pregnant with M and right away I was like I can use if for M. I just had to figure out how to get a new drawer front and stain it to match the crib. Luckily I'm in the cabinet, counter top biz so we know people. I asked my friend if he could take it clean it up, stain it and change the sliders for me. He did, it took awhile but I got it back about a month before M came. I LOVE it and I hope M will keep it forever. Its a very meaningful piece something that I hope gets passed down to his kids and so on. I'm sure it will with stand the times, I mean its Oak and it means business!! =)
This is a Mobile I had made from etsy, it matches the colors of the bedding. It freely hangs over the top of the crib. I love it! M seems to enjoy it as well.
I saw this owl in a parents magazine when I was trying decide on bedding and themes for M's room. Once I saw this I was in love and knew I had to have some owls in his nursery.
And the finished product. The rod that's being used to hang those curtains is not staying I just needed something to get them off the dang floor. I'm still searching for the ONE that I want but haven't come across anything, who knows if I will but this will do for now.

Happy Halloween
Only 2 days late.. =/
Happy Halloween.. I love Halloween, it kicks off Fall for us in Az. Its the start of many holidays, many firsts to come and many fun memories to be made.
For Halloween this year we decided to go hang out with friends and there little ones. So T would have a partner in crime to Trick r Treat with. They had a blast and M just kinda hung out..
Tristan wanted to be Green Lantern and I found a Superman outfit just small enough to fit M. So both of boys were Super Heroes.
Before we left to go Trick R Treating, I decided to try and do a small photo shoot with the boys. It actually went better than expected. Take a look. =)

Holy Neglected Blog
I'm still here, I'm still alive. Kinda. The last 2 months have been kind of a haze. Time is flying and with that my boys are getting bigger by the moment. Sad really! I have tons to update about. I told myself I would blog since I would be home, but when I would sit, M started in, or I needed to wash bottles, do laundry, pump, and the list goes on.
I spent 9 awesome weeks at home and feel like I accomplished nothing on the list of things I wanted to do, besides love on baby M. That I did and I loved it!
I have a few posts I wanted to get to: Some are old, some are New.
soon very soon.
This week I am back at work, I'm working 3 days a week and 2 days a week at home with M.
Getting adjusted with coming back to work and getting two boys ready to get out the door has been an entirely new thing we are slowly learning, I'm hoping in time it will just become a routine, right now everything just feels out of sorts.
T is amazing, going threw Horrible Three's who said Terrible Two's were bad? because they were oh so wrong!! I would take the Two's back ANY.FREAKEN.DAY.
M is the most amazing, squishy, chubby cheeked baby ever. He's 2 months old!
I'm good, besides being beyond exhausted, but I'm keepin up as best as I can. We (John and I) have a vacation coming up the beginning of November, so I keep willing myself to that date because for 2 blissful days i plan to SLEEP, Like ALOT!!
I will update more and more as I get back into more of a routine. First with M's 2 month post and what we have been up to the last 2 months that just keeps us on the go.
HAPPY FALL!!! Thank you Sweet Jesus. Us Arizonans look forward to cooler weather and I'm thrilled to get out of the house and enjoy it, as well as the festivities!

Introducing
Micah Christian born August 7, 2011 @ 11:31a.m.weighing 8lbs 12 oz and 21in.long.
This is why I have been absent from blogging- I have been adjusting to this new life! A new life with a newborn and a 3 year old who I know means well but is adjusting at his own rate and with fierce jealousy!!

Still Waiting
Still wishing and hoping and praying that this kid comes on his own! Yesterday I went in for my follow up. I'm up 3lbs and I wouldn't doubt it being water weight, my ankles are the sizes of elephant feet. I'm dilated to a 2 and 60% effaced, she went ahead and stripped my membranes as much as possible and man that shit hurts! I definitely had to breathe through that. I know I'm having contractions because while she was doing her thing she said, oh your having a contraction can you feel that.. "OH actually all I feel is you being brutal to my insides,but thanks for the knowledge!!" =)
Last night, I was super crampy and super blah I kept myself busy and walking around and went outside with T, took him to his swim class, bounced on the ball. NOTHING!! Last night I was cramping big time and I found it extremely hard to sleep but that is all no sure signs I'm going to have this baby. So we wait.. I have an eviction notice set up for him on the 9th - the Dr scheduled me for 430PM. So whether he decides to show face on his own(preferred) or forced out we will be meeting our little guy on Aug 9th. I'm excited, nervous and anxious. Reality is really starting to play games with my head!!
I start my maternity leave tomorrow, and I have one last attempt to get him out. I'm going to an acupressure appt, as well as going to get a pedicure and my nails done. Then Friday I decided to keep T home and we are going to go to the movies, go to lunch and do just a me and him thing. He deserves it because life is about to change!! For all of us..

1 Month Shy of 3 Years Old
How and when did my Baby turn into a walking, talking, potty training, puts on his own shoes, tells us left and right when driving, knows all of his body parts even the girl parts that one day caught me off guard, goes out back by himself and entertains himself toddler (big boy)?? It just amazes me everyday, how fast T is growing and how much he is learning. He has a stubborn will about him, or maybe that's just the terrible 3's rearing its ugly head. Either way, he's mine and I love him more and more with each passing day. Even when I want to pull out my hair, because I have lost every once of patience one person can muster.
July 9th is fast approaching and I catch myself wondering what the 3's have in store for us. For one they have a baby brother that is about to rock his 3 year old world. I know he's going to be a great brother, but I do have those guilty feelings about mine and John's attention not being on T solely. I feel bad, that he will have to learn to share that, because for 3 WHOLE years he has had nothing but our undivided attention. I know, I know, we all had to go through it and we all survived. Most if not all of us have siblings who had to share our parents and we all turned out fine, most of us! I would be lieing if I said I didn't feel guilty, because I DO!! On the flip side of that guiltiness, I'm super excited to see T embrace his brother, because deep down I know he is going to be so awesome with him. He loves babies and being around them, loves to "pet" them on their heads and has already been making progress at home referring to M's room as his brothers, and he names off everything that is M's and then everything that is T's and when I ask if he will share his things, he slowly looks up and says, "No"!! HA okay then.. well at least we got that handled!
For the time being I have one more month to bask in the 2's and reminisce on what an exciting year it has been for us and for him!!!

Potty Training is not for ameretures!!! *Updated
And with that said.. I will happily admit I now have a potty trained kid during the day, No Poop though. This is going to be another challenge for us. I really thought that first weekend we started potty training he wasn't going to do it, but the more I kept on him and the more he saw progress and the more toys that flooded in (YES I stooped that low) T has like 6 new motorcycles, a monster truck, some play tattoos and new painting supplies. BUT HE IS PEEING ON THE TOILET AND HE TELLS ME WHEN HE HAS TO GO!!! THANK YOU JESUS.. So knock me for bribing and spoiling my already spoiled brat but it worked and I will take what I can get!!
T is just shy of turning 3, in one month to be exact!! So I can officially or unofficially (sans the poop) say I have a potty trained kid, during the day!! THAT MAKES ME HAPPY!!!
******* TMI post about poo so beware!! Because I started this post yesterday, I need to now update it to include that T has officially gone Poo in the big boy Potty.. It may only be this one time but I just needed him to go ONCE to get the ball rolling.. Not gonna lie, I bribed again!! Its honestly kind of funny how smart our kids are, or my kid or whatever, but when they seriously ask you for diaper back on, its pretty obvious they have to poo, and I just wouldn't give in!! I felt bad that his tummy hurt and if he really has to go he will go, diaper or no diaper.
This Morning though, was different he was eating breakfast and he kept saying my tummy hurts, my tummy hurts, Mommy I want a diaper, I said No! Lets go try and sit on the potty and go poo.. to which he obliged but with a gawddd just put an effing diaper on me lady! He went pee and I let him sit for a few minutes, and said, "T if you go poopy, I will get you new paints", and he followed it up with and a new helmet, and monster truck? To which I said YES, and he POOPED!! So I just spoiled my kid even more, but I got poop out of it and that totally made my day!! I hope he can stick with this, I'm sure we are going to have some accidents in the long run, but at least he just did it once and now he can see that it was that easy!!

Its been boring lately....
I apologize now for the boringness that has taken over my blog.. I'm really not this boring in real life.
Lots of things have been going on, that have thrown me for a loop, and trying to get back into this "new" normal is a little weird. I find it so weird that after T goes down for the night, I'm no longer rushing to the kitchen table to study or the computer to type up reports. I find myself sitting my pregnant ass on the couch and flipping through channels. SO WEIRD!!! Its nice don't get me wrong. The first few nights I was like this just isn't right, but as I get used to it, I'm liking it. I know I know, ENJOY IT NOW.. While I can.. =)
This month and next month and well every month after that is going to be crazy busy with events.
This month is my baby shower on the 25th, we are also going up north June 11th, June 18th is my Maternity pics which I'm semi looking forward to, my whale of an ass being photographed FUN!! Did I mention we have been potty training T? Yea that's for another post..
Then July brings T's 3rd Birthday on the 9th, July 23rd I'm hosting my Bf's Baby Shower and the 30th is one of our close friends Twin Baby shower, in which my husband will be hosting a Diaper Party for the daddy to be.
August- Well that brings the baby, and hopefully he will make his appearance on the 9th preferably, if not maybe the 6th? I don't know I just hope he doesn't take up residence to long after his due date. Then, brings my sweet sweet Maternity Leave and I am beyond excited about!! I'm off for about 8-9 weeks. I will be working from home a little bit, since our biz is family run and I'm the office manager, i am the only one who knows how to do the payroll and all the taxes as well as sales/city taxes. I don't mind though, because I can work from home and make a single trip in to drop off checks and check on things.
I have a few posts I need to get on:
*Baby M's Room-Final Product
*T's final product of a bedroom
*Our Master Bedroom, I totally forgot to take before pics, I will take Middle pics
*Potty Training T
*T's 3rd Birthday- Planning and the final product
*My Bf's Shower, Planning and the final product

I don't mind though, because I can work from home and make a single trip in to drop off checks and check on things.
I have a few posts I need to get on:
*Baby M's Room-Final Product
*T's final product of a bedroom
*Our Master Bedroom, I totally forgot to take before pics, I will take Middle pics
*Potty Training T
*T's 3rd Birthday- Planning and the final product
*My Bf's Shower, Planning and the final product

Holy Vomit and Shit
Yea, VOMIT and SHIT!!! Literally! T has been suffering from some kind of stomach bug that has lasted 3 weeks. It goes like this, 2 - 3 days of vomit and poo and then goes away and then shows its ugly face by vomiting all over the back seat of my truck!! Thanks Dude. Kidding but for real, I can handle shitty diapers even the gross ones, what I can't handle especially right now is vomit, any kind of vomit, the sound of vomit the smell. OH MY GAWDDD kill me.. Makes me want to vomit and I hate vomiting..
Anyway - We took T in about 3 weeks ago when this all started, tested positive for Rota Virus, great.. Should be out of his system in a few days, and few days came and went- with tons of shitty diapers luckily the vomit contained it self. We put him on the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apples and toast) Seemed to do the trick so I slowly introduced him back into food again, eggs, yogurt, some fruit and every things good! NOT then the shits started again!! BRAT diet again!! Pedialyte to keep him hydrated and I basically let him tell me when he was hungry and wanted to eat. I also took him back to the Dr's because this is just bizarre, so she made me get a fecal sample, took some blood and tested him for OVA and Gardia. All the tests came back negative, which is good, but what the heck is wrong my kid and why is he throwing up and shitting every few days?? No answer, just that - the rota virus is taking its sweet time existing my son's body. Apparently
BRAT diet and pedialyte seemed to work, and that would be a NEGATIVE. Friday night we leave to go eat dinner, I needed to stop at walmart for some meds and while I went in my hubs drove around and waited for me.. err I mean I waited for him, I walk outside and he's no where, So I'm getting antsy and of course forget my phone in the car, good thing because I was about to blow him up. Thinking he was playing a cruel joke! He wasn't! I get in and first thing out of his mouth..
Him: We are going home..
Me: WHY what did T do ?
Him: turn around:
Me: Bleh.. Are you fecking serious,. VOMIT.ALL.OVER. him, the car, the back seat, the floor. Holy mother of god!!
So we go home, and of course I feel horrible, get him into the bath, and he shits!!! WTF
So I get him out and start over, annnndddd VOMIT luckily this time is the toilet. and then back into the tub. I feel like this was a rinse and repeat situation. I let him chill in the bath for awhile, then got him dressed and FUCK... Vomit again, luckily this time, he was nice enough to warn me. So we made it to the toilet. Meanwhile, hubs is cleaning out truck. Love him
Rest of the night consisted of him curled up on the couch with a bucket in place and a blankets layed out just in case. Poor guy. So then Saturday we wake up and he's bright eyed and bushy tailed?? Luckily this weekend was pretty low key, so we hung out and rested, I took him with me to the car wash to have my back seat shampooed and carpets cleaned because really there was no way I was driving my truck with that nastiness.. eww..
That was my weekend. My hubs finished up M's mural in his room and we got some major cleaning done, and some other things done. Mostly just relaxing - that was definitely needed.

Some Good Happenings going on around here.
T went to his first Diamond Backs Baseball game with my Brother in law and my Sister, My BIL is really into Baseball and so is all of his boys, he has 3 and one girl. So they decided to take T with them. He loved it!!! He now carries around a glove and ball where ever he goes, sleeps with it and by all means DO not take that away from him!! So instead of the big brute football player I was expecting, I think I may have a baseball player on my hands. To early to tell, but by the looks of it when we go to my nephews baseball games T sits contently and watches every move!!
My sister forgot her camera so they used their Iphones, Not a great pic. But T definitely had a great time with his Cousins.
Also, last week was rough. T was sick with some sorta stomach bug. He threw up Wednesday night, but seemed fine so the next morning off to daycare he went. She said he seemed fine his diaper was dome what runny. So than Friday morning we woke up and he told me his tummy hurt. So I told him to go sit on the couch and relax, which he did only to me coming out to find that he had SHIT allover himself and the couch. I felt so bad for him and all he said was sorry Mommy.. Aww I told him he didn't need to be sorry, he had an accident. So cute! So I stayed home and got him into the Dr's and they tested him for Rota virus, which he tested positive for. So we had a pretty "shitty" week last week.Literally
This week, I had one of my Final Practicals and for once I got a 91 on it. I am on cloud nine. I have a final exam next Thursday which I'm dreading, but so glad and happy to be done with this class! I have a Chemistry class I'm taking and everyone including myself think I'm crazy. but I have to! I have to get this last class in so I can get on the wait list for Nursing. It sucks but it has to be done.
We finally got T's decals up, just of the monster trucks and sadly one of the big ones already fell like 2 days after we put it up, so this weekend we are going to load it up with tacky and stick it back on the wall. If that doesn't work we may have to go by plexiglass and mount it to that. I will have a separate picture post on that stuff. His room, is I would say 95% done. I'm still waiting to order the dirt bike decals, just to see how the other one hold up, we have one more shelf I have to install, but I have to go to Ikea to purchase a matching one for the others.
The baby's room, pshhh has been pushed off and looks like a mess. I tried to put away everything, and get things organized but lets be honest. I have no motivation!!
and that brings me to this week. I had my Glucose test. YAY I passed with great numbers she said, but I did not pass my hemoglobin. Your supposed to be in the 12 or higher levels and when i went in for my first screening I was at an 11 they said just to take my prenats and I should be fine. Well this time I went in and I tested at a 9.1. So now I know why I have been so lethargic that last few weeks especially this last week. I have to get on Iron pills and these suckers are messing with my tummy!! I have always had a pretty low hemoglobin count, and it plummeted while I was in the hospital with T. I really don't want to go through that again. So I will be making sure to take my iron and eat more iron enriched foods.

Happy Easter!!
We had such a great weekend. We accomplished alot of tasks at home which is nice to mark off things on our to do list. We were able to complete T's room, minus the dirt bike decals, but since the monster truck decals are hanging and sticking we are going to get the dirt bike ones. After those are up, we will be done. I just need to buy one more sheet set and its complete oh and new pillows I hate the pillows he's sleeping on.
We also finished some things around the house, did some cleaning ya know the usual.
Easter day was fun. T was definitely spoiled by the Easter Bunny. He had a blast finding the eggs and opening them to see what was inside. Then we went in made some breakfast and pretty much lounged around until it was time to go to my sisters house for some more Easter festivities.
She had Easter egg hunt as well, and T was all about it. He won, of course with the help of his Cousin Mia.
We ate way to much food and I feel like I gained 10 lbs. which is not good considering I go in next week for my glucose test as well as another weigh in. That's for another post.
Other than that, we had a great weekend. =)
Easter Egg Hunt
He threw the egg because he knew stuff was in there.
Scooorrreeeee
