How to hide a full-grown adult in your basement for 37 hours without your husband knowing

1) Gently force your husband to go to his Wednesday night Temple shift AND make him find a ride to and from.
2) Tell him you need the car for a special errand that can only be run that night.
3) After your kids are in bed, call a friend (thanks Katie) to come over.
4) Take the car and go pick up an adult at the airport.
5) Make sure that it's a really stormy night and that the weather is awful enough to delay the flight so long that you wonder if you're even going to beat your husband home. It only adds to the over all drama, so why not?
6) After you get yourself and the adult home, have the adult go potty one last time for the night since there IS only 1 bathroom in this house and you have to walk right by yours and hubby's room to get there.
7) Inform the adult that there is a utility sink in the basement just in case of emergency, but only for #1. (#2? - you're outta luck!)
8) Then banish the adult to the basement until the next morning (10:45pm - not that bad...)
9) Welcome husband home in a normal fashion.
10) Tell him you got a present for his Bday for him and it's in the basement and that he can't go down there until his Bday (Friday).
11) Go to bed and wake up normally.
12) Send hubby out the door with a good breakfast. Check on the web that a shuttle has come and gone and hubby has not returned to announce that he missed the bus.
13) Call adult upstairs and grant access to the bathroom (!!!!) and kids.
14) Play all day with adult.
15) Now that the kids have seen the adult, they will not keep it a secret from dad, so you have to keep hubby from the kids now too...
16) Have adult watch the kids and go and pick up hubby from school and tell him you got a babysitter for the whole night.
17) Have a great night out with your hubby.
18) While out on your date become physically ill from all the lies and deceiving.
19) Tell him it's just your hormones.
20) When your date is done pretend to call home, but really call a neighbor (thanks Janel) and have him/her come and pretend like they've watched the kids all night.
21) Go to bed and wake up. Today is hubby's birthday, so let him sleep in until after the kids leave for school, so they don't say anything.
22) Wake hubby up and send him off to work.
23) Call adult up and get ready to go on the shuttle to campus.
24) Have everyone (close friends and adult) meet at hubby's favorite restaurant.
25) Go pick him up from his class and embarrass him in front of his students a little.
26) Walk to the restaurant and go in.
27) Hubby sees friends yell "Surprise!!!!!"
28) Hubby scans the crowd only to notice that his MOM, BROTHER and SISTER in law are also there.
29) Tell him you've been hiding mom in our basement!!!!
30) Let the knots in your stomach start to untie as you then confess everything that you've lied about for 2 days!!

Happy Birthday Brad! I'm glad it was a surprise! This was a few weeks ago...sorry it took so long to get it on here. :(
