April Foolin'

I got in the first prank of the day by adding a couple drops of food coloring to the boys' cereal bowls before filling them with cereal and milk. When Andrew stirred his cereal and the milk began to change color he said, "Wait a minute. What day is it?"

"APRIL FOOLS'!"

Don't worry, he got me back later by hiding my shoes in a place I would never find them: the closet!

Later that day, my little baking buddy helped me work on some yummy dinnertime pranks.

We used frosting, candy, and caramel topping to make cupcakes that looked like veggies and mashed potatoes. (I wish I could take the credit for this idea, but I found it in this book. I checked it out from the library, but I'm going to have to buy my own copy. Seriously the cutest cupcake ideas EVER!!!)

Since it was April Fools' Day, I let everyone eat their "dessert" first: ice cream sundaes made of popcorn chicken, corn, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a cherry tomato on top.I think Logan was a little confused about the whole thing. After taking a bite he said, "It's not ice cream, it's SMASHED POTATOES!"

After "dessert," we had "dinner."
Bryan loves him some mashed potatoes!
Even Andrew ate his veggies without complaining for once!
