April Fool's

We like April Fool's Day.

We always have fun coming up with different, silly tricks. Goofy, but not mean is our rule :-).

Kelsey and Keegan made my bed (a neat trick any day, if you ask me!) But they turned the whole thing upside-down, untucking the blanket and sheet at the bottom then putting our pillows at the foot, you get the idea.....

Ordinarily, the girls and I try to fool Bill, but this year Caitlyn and I ganged up on everybody else. We made fake hamburger patties and grape juice. they turned out really great, IMHO :D.



Here are our hamburger patties. They are cocoa rice krispie treats with marshmallow cheese. OK, they are actually organic Koala Rice cereal treats made with no artificial ingredient marshmallows, but, again, you get the idea.....
It is amazing how real they look. In the past, we made meatloaf, which looked really authentic, too.


Keegan and Kelsey had a friend over that day, so at lunch we set the table with the fake grape juice. It looked so real, but was actually grape jello we had made in the glasses. Then we waited, and waited, and waited for someone to try to take a drink. Finally, Kelsey picked up her glass and tipped it to her mouth. Nothing happened. She tipped it further. Nothing happened.
Then she pulled it away from her face and with the funniest voice said, "Hey, this is stuck!" At which point, Keegan and Sophia immediately tried to drink theirs and Caitlyn and I were rolling on the floor laughing. Ha, ha, HA!


Yes, I am easily amused, but it was really funny.
Hope you had as much fun as we did!!! And if you had any really fun tricks, feel free to send them to me for next year :-)!
