April Foolishness

Ok....so I'm late..what's new. Ok- here is a peek at our April Foolishness. We started the day with the preschoolers and lucky for us it was Wed., which means Kitchen time, yeah! We made Dirt Pie and the kids loved it! They scraped the oreos, crushed, mixed and created their flowers for their own little pots. They laughed and laughed the entire time about how they were going to fool their parents with pretending to eat dirt. You just have to love a preschoolers sense of humor. Sorry about not having photos of the rest of the kids at the other table! I've TRIED 10 times to download it and it just keeps downloading the text that I put on the picture, but leaving the picture part blank, so you will just have to believe me that they also loved it.

For dinner that night I created the Nielsens first ever April Fools dinner. My kids are crazy..they came upstairs and did NOT even comment on the fact that the table was upside down! no...they got all excited about the cake and "tiny burgers"...Nicks most recent obsession...but they were in for a surprise! At first I told them "April Fools" we get to eat cake first tonight! They cheered and were SO happy. Dave served up the first piece to Ella and then to Kira. The look on Kira's face was priceless. After poking at it for a minute she asked "Mom...why does my cake have meat in it?" It was only then that they realized that they were sitting on the ground, up to an upside down table and that this was ALL an april fools day dinner. At that point they knew the hamburgers weren't really burgers, but they still loved them. And so did I...aren't they too cute? Just vanilla wafers, peppermit patties and a little icing and coconut. What a fun dinner...I'm going to have to really come up with something to trick them with next year now that they know what to expect!
