April Fools!

Yes, I know this post is just a few days late... but give a prego lady a break. A few days before April 1, Michelle H. and I conspired on a great prank for our dear true-blue, BYU-fan hubbies. We got things ready, got some help in putting our plan into motion, and covered the office in

RED everywhere!

I came to the office later that morning, but everything (balloons, streamers, signs) was taken down. The only thing thing left was a Ute logo on the dart board. Then for dinner that night, we decided to be totally backwards and eat dessert first...

and dinner last.

Imagine the kids' surprise to find the cupcakes were made out of meatloaf (with colored mashed potatoes on top) and dessert was toasted angel food cake with orange frosting. The kids got into April Fool's day themselves too:

Sunshine spent the whole day saying silly things and then immediately saying "April Fools! HA hahahahah!" For example... "We're moving to China!" or "Mom you're having a girl baby!" or "Mom you're a mo-mo! April Fools!" What does that mean anyway?

Cloudburst made a secret list of what she wanted to do on April Fool's Day. She kept telling me, "Mom, don't look at my list behind the couch!" Then that day when Tornado was thirsty, I went to get a cup of water from our bathroom, and there were no cups or toothbrushes! She came running in laughing, so I asked her what else was on her list. That was it. Thank goodness for short lists.

Tornado is apparently an alien, judging by those eyes. And he spent the whole day repeating exactly what Sunshine said. In fact, he does that every day.

And you can see what a simple sense of humor I have... I still think it's a great computer trick to change somebody's eyes! Hopefully you had a great April Fool's Day!
