April Fools has always been one of my favorite holidays. As the kids get older they are more aware of the date and know that I must be planning something to try and pull on them. They talk about past tricks I've pulled and how they can't believe they fell for them. And yet as the first of the month approaches you'd think they've become even more skeptical and yet, somehow I still end up fooling them.
This year, I decided to do this...
Why not treat them to something yummy for breakfast before school.
Except it wasn't what they were expecting. Instead it was a rainbow of other yummy foods...
First to come down that morning to get ready for school was Isabelle. As she was opening the blinds as she does each day, she became very intersted in the box on the table..
Enjoy.
And then it was Madelyn's turn. Given that Isabelle was in on the prank by this time, she was much more excited for Madelyn to open the box, than she was first.
After the girls got in on the joke, the boys had heard and knew something was up. Still it was a fun morning and even now thinking about it makes me smile.
April fools is a fun, silly way to bring more humor into our crazy life. I'm already starting to think about what to do next year.
Until then,
Angie
