Later that day, I did the exact same thing, then, sat down on the couch and asked Tyson to get me a drink...okay, pathetic I know. He didn't fall for it, but a moment later Dad came into the kitchen to get a drink and bam... let's just say, he didn't think it was funny...at...all... So I haven't done much pranking since.
So now, on April Fool's Day, I keep it fun and harmless. Last year I tried a meatloaf cake, but Justin and I didn't dig it. It was kind of, weird. So this year I made a regular meatloaf for us and I told the boys that's what we were having for dinner. When they all came to sit up, I told Justin, "you know, the boys have been so good today should we just let them have a cupcake for dinner instead." Of course the boys were extremely thrilled about that idea.
When Corbin, saw it he said, "hey, that's a meatloaf cupcake"...okay, so no fooling him...
Taylor on the other hand thought that it was hilarious when he took a lick of the 'frosting' and found it not to be so sweet.
Levi, didn't care one bit, he chowed that thing faster than you could say "Happy April Fool's Day!"
A little later that evening, I told the boys that we were having a second dinner, they sat up to this.
They knew something was different about it, but once they took a bite, they were not let down!
I think April Fools Day CAN be fun....and not get you in big trouble!
