April Fools!

I have never really been big on April Fools day, but Dallin has claimed it as his favorite "holiday" so I decided to have some fun with it this year. I discovered my family is pretty easy to fool!

Nate poored his Cinnamon Life cereal in the morning only to find a different cereal coming out of the box. He said, "what the heck!" And stared at it a while till I exclaimed my "April Fools!" We all laughed.

For the kids, I fooled them with dinner: We had "dessert" first. They were delighted when I announced we were having Chocolate Strawberry pie for dinner! The hillarious thing was, they gobbled down probably five bites before thinking it tasted like meat and mashed potatoes. I made meatloaf in a pie pan, whipped potatoes and colored them with juice from beets. They loved it!






For Dessert - Chicken nuggets, peas and carrots, mashed potatoes w/ gravy.


Actually - Doughnuts, flavored tootsie rolls, and ice cream with carmel syrup

A rare occurance - Isaac smiling about his dinner.
