April Fool's!

Since we had an entire week of leprechaun tricks I was practically out of ideas for April Fool's. Of course my kids expected some good stuff though so I had to scramble to come up with something. I decided to let the kids wake up to everything being normal...they weren't expecting that! After breakfast though they got a big surprise when their toothbrushes all had dye on them. The girls were not happy and refused to get a picture taken! Of course goofball Kade loved it though!!

For lunch I made the kids stay out of the kitchen and made up an April Fools' lunch. We had "banana splits"....hot dogs, potato salad, and even a cherry tomato on top. I made a special treat of onion rings...which were licorice frosted, dipped in crushed graham crackers, and rolled up. Lunch wasn't a big hit with Nick since his "banana split" had too many toppings!

Then I made a super special treat! Cookies!! No one was a fan of the string that had been baked into the cookies though. Ben said you're not supposed to mess with cookies!

For dinner the kids came to the Fool's Cafe. Thanks Pinterest! The kids had to order off the menu with items like Utahn's Delight (jello), Wicked Breakfast (deviled eggs), and Two Paths (a fork). They had to just order blindly and see what they would get with each course. The kids loved it...especially when they got to eat Cold Cow (ice cream) for dinner!

It wasn't such an awful April Fool's for not having anything planned.  Happy April Fool's!!
