The Fools of April

The kids were excited for April 1st this year. Some of them came up with some mild pranks. They included:

• writing "Out of Order" on a post-it note and sticking it on the bathroom door
• cutting a large beetle shape out of paper and taping it to the inside of a lamp shade (this got a big reaction)
• setting out a big package of Oreos they'd requested from the store, placing the open jar of salt next to it, sprinkling some salt around the Oreos, opening a few on a paper plate next to the salt, and putting a sign that said "Take 3 Happy April Fool's Day" (this only slowed the kids down for a moment, they were willing to risk salty Oreos)

Bryan added a joke to the day as well. He stuck a post-it note to the now closed package of Oreos that read "Can you guess which one I licked?" This got a big laugh and stopped no one from eating more Oreos.

I added my own spin to the day. On Friday nights we almost always eat pizza for dinner while we watch a movie. This week we had three regular pizzas and one tostada pizza. The kids were very confused to see refried beans and lettuce on their pizza. It was delicious.
