April Fools

So, did you survive the day? Is your family more about the fun or the pranks? We had a little of both yesterday -- here's how it all turned out.

The day started off a little bumpy -- nobody played pranks, but the morning didn't go well at all. Everything went wrong. The Sweet Girl got up late and was grumpy, and Mr. H got caught in a snowstorm and a massive traffic snarl on the freeway on the way to his contract job. All that snow in the morning wasn't very amusing.  At all. You know, we felt a little "punked" -- and nobody was doing anything to us! Oh well.

The rest of the day went pretty smoothly, once the snow stopped. I gathered a few things for dinner -- our Groucho Marx glasses and some whoopie cushions, namely.

I know. SO Martha. :-)

Dinner was nothin' but cupcakes. We made the meatloaf cupcakes I told you about yesterday, and some real cupcakes to reward  those brave enough to try the April Fool ones.

 

I think the April Fool's cupcakes turned out pretty cute! They were tasty, too! My Sweet Girl gave me a few eye rolls about dinner. (Okay, so maybe the whoopie cushions on the chairs was going too far. Heh heh. Teenagers. What are ya gonna do? :-) You know, next year, she'll be talking about how fun this was! Love her to pieces!)  ♥♥♥♥  I sweetened her up with the real cupcakes.

She smiled even more when she got "egged" later that night. We heard a doorbell ring, and opened the door to our front yard *covered* in plastic Easter eggs. She had to go out into the cold, dark night and get all the eggs from the yard. (Most of them had candy inside.) She had to open the eggs one by one to find the one egg with the note inside that told her who did it! So fun.

Yep, we had a fun day. Hope you did too!
