April Fool's Day Fun

My kids are always trying to play jokes on me - to scare me and trick me. Well little did they know that I have a few tricks up my sleeves too! What a great day. I had so much fun.

Breakfast is the start to a great day. We just had plain old Honey Nut Cheerios. Before I poured the cereal, I put in a few drops of food coloring in the bottom of the bowl. When the kids poured the milk, they ended up with red, green, or blue milk. Taylor ended up with he red bowl. He thought that he had blood in his cereal. I had to calm him down and let him know that it was just food coloring and April Fool's. He was mad for a second but then he started to laugh. Parker was the last to wake up so everyone was waiting for him to notice. Taylor asked him if there was something wrong with his cereal. He looked at it and said, "What there's nothing wrong with it, Green is my favorite color." I had to laugh. Nobody was taking his breakfast away from him whether it was green or not.

Parker's always ready for fun! He is such a good sport about everything.

Next joke, Just a plain old bag of chips. Which by the way, everyone had to be excited about because I hardly ever buy chips.

I carefully opened the chips and dumped them out and put grapes in and resealed the bag. I wish that I could of seen every one's faces. Tom called from work. I even got him. Bailey said that a friend told her that her mom really takes holidays seriously.

Next, DINNER! Fish sticks with ketchup, peas, and colorful cupcakes. Looks can be deceiving. The cupcakes are really meatloaf frosted with colored mashed potatoes. The peas are Airhead candy rolled in little balls. The fish sticks are not really fish sticks, they are wafer cookies coated in peanut butter and rolled in cornflakes. The ketchup is strawberry jam. I did have to add some cooked carrots for a real veggie after they figured out the joke. I had told Tom about this since he would be working late. He had me set up the video camera and record the kids without them knowing. It was funny.

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!
