April Fool


Last night, I quietly emptied all of the cereal. I filled the Chex box with Legos, the Raisin Bran with marbles, and the Crispix with dried pasta. This morning when I poured the boys their cereal Chase got the giggles and couldn't stop. James just kept staring, confused; he even tasted the dried pasta. But, then I yelled, "April Fool's!" and welcomed the day that is sure to be filled with teasing and tricks.

I love it! Your boys are so darn cute! Ella ran into my room this morning and squealed "Mom there is a Moose in the back yard!" I ran to the window and looked out. I turned around and said "I don't see a moose out there are you sure?" Then she yelled... "April Fools!". She totally got me. :)

I love this! You are the cutest mom. I'm filing this idea away for a few years down the road--I'll add it to my "Angie files"! I just don't think Vivian would appreciate the humor of dried pasta in her bottle at this point in her young life :-).

This is exactly like a good Grandma Wese trick. I'm thrilled someone is caring on the tradition.

This is so Robinson! Remember when Roy tried to hide the chocolate chips from us? We still sniffed them out in a secret compartment in the oatmeal can!
