April Fools Day








I don't know what I was thinking, but I got a wild hair and decided to do some April fools pranks on my family. It started out not so bad, in the morning, I put a few drops of food coloring in the bowls before I put the cereal in, then when the kids poured in the milk, it turned colors. That was pretty good. Bryce, was confused, and I think Tanner was scared, because I put pink in his, and he didn't know what it was.





Then I spent the day in Evanston getting stuff for Austin's Birthday Party (tomorrow) and for Easter, and the rest of the stuff for April Fools...



Cute Cupcakes don't you think...


It is really meatloaf with mashed potatoes on top. But Austin was fooled! Then for desert, we had chicken pot pies (pudding with candy)






This is what was so time consuming, because I had to shape all the candy to look like veggies!

Then I made Sushi (AKA rice crispy treats with gummy worms inside, and wrapped in fruit leather.


It was alot of work, but it made the day a little more special, (Jason is now Cleaning the Kitchen since I am tuckered out!)

Wow! That looks like it was so much fun and I'm sure the kids absolutely loved it. What a lot of work though. I'm amazed. And Jason is so great to be cleaning up for you because that would definitely tucker a person out making all of that food.

You are awesome. I saw this on tv yesterday and thought what a cute idea. I did the colored milk in the cereal for my kids, but that was it. You did a great job!
