April Fools

I've been waiting for the kids to be old enough to understand practical jokes...well, they sort of do anyway.  So very last minute last night (@ like 11 PM) I decided to pull some AFD jokes on them and see how it goes.  I made them their typical Cheerios + milk breakfast and then put the bowls in the freezer.  I distracted them so they didn't see me take the bowls out and then said, "Okay, eat your breakfast!"  Sylvie was funny she goes, "It's stuck!  I can't (eat my breakfast)!  It's FROZED!"  lol!

Then I put dog bones in their boots (apropos for our house this year!) and threw their stuffed rat, Tooey (as in Ratatouille) next to them.  They cracked up as much as I did!

We had dessert for dinner (meatloaf "cupcakes" with mashed potato "frosting") and dinner for dessert (cake spaghetti and "chocolate" meatballs).

They were not amused.  In fact, Sylvie might have cried a bit.  LOL!  But go figure, once we removed the "frosting" (which is weird, b/c she's actually the one who eats mashed potatoes! Brady does not) Sylvie ate like FOUR cupcakes.This is huge for this girl who eats like a typical preschooler.

 Yay! Cupcakes for dinner!  A dream come true!

 Or an AFD nightmare!  wwaaaaaaahhhh!
