Our April Fools started with getting Allie ready for crazy hair day at school. She said that all she wanted to do was not brush her hair and that would be "craazy hair!" When Allie got back early from school the girls got into the April Fools spirit. They would run around saying silly things and then immeadiately yelling April Fools. Anna called Daddy and left him a message about a cat we found that mom said we could keep...and without much of a pause for a reaction she revealed the joke and laughed. When Allie talked to her Dad the list of April Fools jokes continued consecutively for several minutes, "Dad, we're not really here, April Fools! Dad, we found a dog and mom said we could keep it, April Fools! Dad, we saw a car upside down, April Fools!" Then Jennie repeated some of the same ones too.
At lunch I pulled my mom's classic "grape juice." After taking a sip Allie made a face and excalimed, "Purple water?" Oh, it can be so fun to say, "April Fools!"
After discovering that it really was water, not grape juice Jenny still would not drink it. Anna thought it was cool that it still made her mouth turn purple like grape juice does.Shanna helped Anna and I pull together a spontaneous surprise at dinner time. The table was set with random utinsels, funny containers for cups, and upside down plates which covered April Fools notes that Anna made.
We all had fun trying to eat applesauce with a melon baller or icecream scoop. The meal (and the joke) was complete with a pitcher of "water" which was actually invisable Kool-aid. Everyone thought that was pretty funny after the water for lunch...after all, drink that was suppose to taste like fruit was really water and drink that looked like water really tasted like fruit.
We hope you all had a fun April Fools day too. And that's no joke!
