Fools watch out it's April first!!!

I love having kids, for many reasons, but lately I'm really enjoying having fun with them. We did the leprechaun boxes last month.... and this year I felt like I could finally pull some pranks on Alex for April Fools day! I started the day off by telling him to go wash his hands before he ate breakfast.... ofcourse there was a rubber band around the kitchen sink sprayer.... nailed him!

Then I told him to eat breakfast only I had put his cereal & milk in the freezer the night before and it was a rock.... he was so confused..... and then when he tried to drink his orange kool-aid... nothing would come up the straw.... orange jello.... that I had put in the fridge over night.. straw and all.... he ended up laughing so hard couldn't believe his old lady could get him like that!

Here Leah is demonstrating the frozen cereal gag....

Ethan didn't understand and spent about 5 minutes desperately trying to pull the spoon out so he could eat the ceral.... you can tell he was less than happy... I kept trying to show him but he lost interest and in the picture he looks like he's plotting a course to the south pole!?!?!

Here Alex is playing a gag on his class.... the old fake blood (katsup) trick.... too bad he couldnt keep the smile off his face when he was walking into school!

Hope you were able to pull a trick on someone and enjoy your youthful spirit! Now I have to start planning so I'm ready for next year that will really get him
