April Fools!

I love April Fool's Day. I don't know why but I love tricking my children. Here are the things that happened this year. There was many tears on Jayden's part when he found his carrots in his chip bag.  The boys feel that they have to drink apple juice for breakfast, so turning apple juice into jello was the first trick of the morning.  Hahaha!  They couldn't figure out what in the world had happened to their apple juice when they were trying to pour some into their cups. 

April Fools Day

Oreo cookies: $3.00

Toothpaste:  $2.00

Jessica's facial expression:  PRICELESS

Since last year the kids think that I am a pretty good April Fools jokester.  (I still don't get that because last year was the first time that I ever did a practical joke.  See HERE for last year jokes.)  This year I didn't come up with anything to do to the family until about 2:30 that afternoon when I read what had happened to one of my friends at work.  Now let me just say that I hate wasting a lot of things and I hate to make a big mess, so when I read this practical joke I knew that it would be perfect.  All you need is some oreo cookies and white toothpaste.  You get the picture of what happens next.  When the girls came home from school I overheard them saying that they couldn't believe that I hadn't done a joke on them yet.  I waited paitently until after dinner then I pulled out the Oreo cookies for dessert.  I handed each of them a good cookie and a toothpaste cookie.  Jessica was the first person to eat her toothpaste cookie.  She started nibbling it and kept saying, "Why does my cookie taste like mint?"  Jared was eating a regular cookie and couldn't find anything wrong with his.  It wasn't until he was eating his next cookie that they figured out what was in their cookies.  They all thought that it was so funny that later that night I gave some cookies to the Bickmore kids as well.  Too funny.  If anyone has any great ideas for next year let me know!
