Note to self: your children are small. April Fool's Day is something they will understand when they're older. Meatloaf and mashed potato cupcakes, even with the potato frosting dyed blue and purple, was probably a bad idea.
Especially for Jack who thought he was really getting a cupcake for dinner. His mom was so cool!
And then...oh my...Ellie discovered that it wasn't frosting.
And then...oh my...the crying started.
Sigh.
Next year I think I'll stick with the kids' favorite joke of the day: "Mommy! There's a monster behind you! April Fool's!"
As long as he's not eating meatloaf, I'm cool with that.

Chloe and Emily were very aware it was April Fools day and were saying silly things all morning. As I dropped them off at preschool, I realized I hadn't played any jokes on them, so i told them "Daddy and I will be busy later, so monkeys will be picking you up from preschool today!" They thought it was pretty funny. i guess i'm lucky that didn't backfire and give them primate phobias or make them cry!!
so glad you blogged this! it made me laugh out loud! what a great memory.
