April Fools!

I've had fun with April Fool's pranks the past few years. This year was fun too!

 

April Fool's Day fun

I decided to pull a few April Fools Day pranks from Pinterest on the kids! Koolaide (aka Jello): We never have Koolaide, but I offered the kids "Jello" with a straw for breakfast. They were quite confused when it wasn't a liquid!

Chocolate eggs (aka grapes): I added an extra "treat" in the kids lunchbox. Instead of chocolate eggs, they had grapes!

Before dinner I asked Willow if she could get me some ice (which I never do but she willingly went to get it for me). The ice cubes were replaced with jelly beans! (Sidenote: the glare at the end is a frequent occurrence for us in these teenage years!!)

At that point I'm not sure any of them trusted me, so when I offered Cheetohs for dinner (aka carrots), they both doubted it off the bat! 

 

Other Random Pics (marathon, Andrew Peterson, school board meeting)

Willow's down to her last few baby teeth but she seems to want to hold on to them as much as possible...until the adult tooth literally comes in and pushes it to the side, then she still doesn't wiggle it out! It's hard to tell in the picture where it came from since the adult tooth is grown in so much!

I pulled a few pranks on the kids for April Fools day. I switched Owen and Chris' shirts. Owen came down wearing one and didn't say a word about it. I also froze cereal with milk to offer Willow and froze orange juice in a cup for Owen. There were marker spiders on the toilet paper and their shoe laces were tied together.

We definitely don't visit Duck Donuts nearly enough!

I've enjoyed making Reels on Instagram. It's fun to pair lettering with fun audio that I find. Here's the video version. 

Chris was mowing in snow flurries in early April!!

Each school is giving the School Board an update on what they're up to and Owen was invited to come to represent Lego Club (see earlier note about him not being a fan of Lego Club that his mother forced him to go to). He got to present one of the school board members with a bee (their mascot) that was made from the 3D printer (another club at the school). 

Willow loves getting her Radish Kids box in the mail each month. Here's the stuffed crust pizza she made. It was delicious!

We chased Kim around town while she ran a marathon. We were able to see her 4 times and hopefully made a few people smile with our signs. 

Nana's smile doesn't match her sign.

Always smiling...

The kids have enjoyed paying Catan Jr so we introduced them to the adult version. They both did great and Willow was excited to win and add her name into the lid for winning. 

Chris and I snuck away to see Andrew Peterson in concert in a town nearby. It was his Resurrection Letters tour, which is an album we weren't familiar with but we still enjoyed hearing him sing, especially with his daughter! It was a great concert! It was a small venue so we were able to get great seats!

This song wasn't on his Easter album but is one of my favorites. 

Remember back when Owen was as tall as an iris? He's a bit taller now!

 Check out our time lapse of Owen and me starting a new puzzle. I love when he puzzles with me!
