April Fools Day!

There are lots of things in this life that always seem to bring a smile to my face... my family, surprises, a three letter word I can't say on my blog, friends, and April Fools day. Why is it so fun to pull random pranks on people on a specific day of the year? I can't really answer that one, but the simple truth of the matter is that I just love it! There is something so intriguing, so hilarious, and so invigorating in watching someone's face when they realize they were just fooled. So because I love this "holiday" so much I always plan ahead! I realize I haven't stepped it up like the guy who bricked his parents front door closed yet, but I'm working my way up to it. I like my pranks to be harmless and fun! When the kids sat down for dinner tonight... Grilled cheese sandwiches and mashed potatoes, they were expecting another ordinary meal. Little did they know the sandwiches were pieces of cake cut to look like bread with yellow frosting that looked like cheddar cheese, and ice cream with caramel sauce took the place of the mashed potatoes and gravy. Jackson almost died laughing when he took his first bite, and Chloe wouldn't stop telling us that the cheese didn't taste like cheese. And our little Ella was too busy stuffing her face! She had frosting in her hair, on her hands, and all over her face. She loved the "grilled cheese sandwich" so much that she decided using her hands was WAY to slow, so she just put her face in the sandwich. It was the perfect way to end such a fun holiday!
