April Fool's Day

We were all prepared this year for the April Fools attack.  Lance and I stayed up on 3/31 setting up traps and jokes for the kids in the morning.  Molli and Lincoln decided to get up early to set their traps.  Lance and I enjoyed laying in bed listening to the kids run into the saran wrap on the door, tripping on fish line that would drop things from the door, lifting toilet seat covers to discover alien faces and so on.   This did not deter the kids from fulfilling their missions.  They sabotaged my Diet pepsi, hid fake snakes in random place throughout the house and did the classic adjust water faucets so that mom gets soaking wet.  It was a fun morning.

That night I decided to trick the kids with their dinner.  They were so excited that I put cake on their plates for dinner that I guess they weren't too aware that I was taking pics of their disappointment.  I told Blake and Bart to dig into their cake, which was really a sponge covered in frosting.  After the disappointment of not really getting cake for dinner wore off I told them to eat their fish sticks.  Well, some of the fish sticks were not real either.  I have to give props to Lincoln.  As soon as he sat down he separated the fake fish sticks from the real.  Molli dug into them and was a little surprised.  It was a fun day.  Gotta love kids!
