April Fools Day!

Happy April Fools' Day!

The Test :)

Well- I got Matt good yesterday. I pulled out a positive pregnancy test that I had saved from Camden (Just the test- not the gross part. I know that is weird- but I still had it.) Anyway- I first told him, "Honey- I've got to tell you something- please don't freak out." He gives me a scared look and I say, "Promise you won't freak out." He promises and then I hand him the test. He stared and stared and then says, "Is this yours?" I say yes, and he stares some more. "You're pregnant?" I was going to carry it out longer than I did, but I thought he might cry- so I said April fools. I have never seen relief come so fast! We love Camden so much- but the kids is still not sleeping through the night! I told Morgan about the prank and she asked if Aunt Katie took the pregnancy test for me. I said, "I'm not going to hold onto a pregnancy test that somebody else peed on, and she says, "Gross! You pee on it?!!! I thought you just had to rub it on your belly or something." I love that girl. She is so innocent and naive!







Matt was watching the kids while I was at the dentist. When I came home he said, "Dillon is in his room. Something happened at school today, but he won't tell me what. He's crying up there." So I go to his room and ask what happened. He won't tell me, and then finally says he got in trouble at school, because he threw a rock at the window and it broke. Then he hands me a note that says, " To the Parents of Dillon Graham." On school letterhead it says that Dillon is being suspended from school for a week for willful disregard and destruction of property. It goes into more detail and is signed by the principal. I couldn't believe it. Dillon is a rule keeper - and he was being suspended from school? Finally Dillon starts laughing, and yells APRIL FOOLS! Okay- I guess I deserved that! :)


Morgan is usually the first kid up in the morning. However, by 7:45 I still hadn't seen her. So I called up to her room, but her door was open, and there was no answer. So I checked the basement. She's not there either. So I go up to her room and she is under her covers. I saw her hair sticking out of her covers and it looks like a rats nest. So I pull off the covers and say, "Honey it's time to get up." But to my shock, it is pillows, made to look a person, with her doll's hair sticking out of the top of the covers. Instantly, I feel sick to my stomach. My first thought is that somebody kidnapped her and I scream. Just then Morgan pops out of the closet and yells APRIL FOOLS! The little stinker. :)

Because of the dentist appointment, I didn't have a chance to do the dinner I had planned. I was going to tell them we are having sweets for dinner tonight. I was going to make chicken in the shape of a heart, with pink gravy. (It looks just like a sugar cookie.) Then I was going to make mashed potatoes and gravy, to look like ice cream, and then cut up green taffy to look like green beans. I have the recipes so that it really does look real. However- I'm sure having sweets for dinner would have been a give away. We did however, dip cotton balls in chocolate to give to the scouts. They loved it!
