There’s nothing like waking up the first day in your new home and finding out just how much your friends care about you. Our dear friends gave us a housewarming to remember.
At the early hour of 6 am on August 24, I woke up to my husband freaking out. Sean took Thelma and Tootsie (our schnauzers) out to potty and returned a frantic mess. He told me that he thought we had offended our new neighbors and they retaliated by putting fairies in our front yard.
I decided to check things out myself, knowing Sean only has one eye open when he takes the dogs out in the morning. The moment I hit the front porch, I knew who did it. We are now the proud owners of a plastic lamb, plastic picket fence, gnome, squirrel, USA poles and a “What Would Jesus Do” sign. We’re glad they decided against the Bush sign.
Note the artfully arranged plastic fence with the plastic sheep planter inside.
Makes you feel like you’re at a petting zoo, doesn’t it?
The metallic stars add some glitz to the yard decor.
You might be amazed to find out how cheap ceramic squirrels are.
Yard gnomes are good luck, you know? We were just trying to bring Andrea and Sean good luck.
From the Prankers:
Sean and Andrea are only too lucky that they didn’t find conservative political signs in their liberal yard in their liberal neighborhood. And Jason and I are lucky that no one called the cops on us.
Our prank took one late night of planning and shopping at Deals (a dollar store) and Odd Lots. (It’s amazing the awesome things you can find at those places!) The next morning we woke up at sunrise (literally) and stealthily drove our car to Sean and Andrea’s new home. Then we quickly, so as not to get into trouble with the law, planted everything in their yard. Everything went smoothly until it was time to put up the sheep’s fence. That thing seemed to take forever to put together. Especially as Metro buses kept driving by and the passengers were staring at us… The ceramic squirrel though – that was fun stuff.
Later that day Sean called Jason and I don’t know what was said but Jason lasted about five minutes before he started laughing and the gig was up. But so much fun. It was almost like a prank that would have to be done again…

Hey funny prank there with all the yard crap we love to hate! I liked how you planned it out, and strategically went at dawn.. Good one, and watch out, they’ll probably pull it on you guys now…when you least expect it! Or, I suspect you’ll be getting that squirrel or gnome as a Christmas present in a year or two… hahaha

that was retarded, but still funny. If you want some more prank ideas here’s 1. Get an old T-shirt and get some red paint. while wearing the shirt pour the paint all over your chest and heart. then paint a real sharp knife red. Also paint your hand red too if you want, but wait until someone comes and lay there motionless. My mom wouldn’t stop saying Oh My God. this is garanteed to work
