Taking inspiration from one of my favorite local columnists, Karina Bland of My So-Called Midlife, I decided to step it up a bit this year. In her words, On April Fools' Day, I get to be the fun mom, not just the enforcer of bedtime and force-feeder of vegetables. I get to be the one fooling around instead of the one saying, "No." I get to make my kid laugh.
And SO....we had green scrambled eggs & blue milk in our cereal for breakfast.
Preschoolers, beware!
Worm filled apples for snack, YUK!
They loved them of course, and didn't quite get the joke. Candy is candy, right?
Unsuspecting kindies taking a cold drink after a hot day!
(Jello with straws) Also didn't get it, well I think K did, and look at this smile.
Totally worth it!
The real joker in the fam is Ben, of course. He got his co-workers GOOD all day long. He has the trick where every time they answered their phone, it would go on speaker & blast hilarious songs....spice girls, etc. He also "took over" some of their computers and would start shutting down their windows or moving their mouse repeatedly. He's known for it, and nobody attempts to get him back because they KNOW he will just get them back better next year...ha!
Now every time the boys are joking around they yell, APRIL FOOLS. It's April 10th now. We like to stretch our holidays out. :)
