Who's the Fool?

I have discovered the fun of a good April Fool's joke. When Justin and I were engaged, he convinced my mom and I both that we had to change our wedding date last minute because his yearly summer training for the National Guard was rescheduled right over our planned wedding day! Then he got me again really good when I was pregnant with Jaco. Right before April Fool's Day that year we had the big ultra sound that showed very clearly that we were having a boy! On April 1st, a "nurse" from my doctor's office called to confirm my next appointment. As we were talking she told me congrats on my baby girl! I informed her that we were having a boy not a girl. She said the picture in my chart looked very much so like a girl while I argued back that the picture I was looking at showed it was definitely a boy! She finally said I should bring a copy of my picture in to my next appointment and we would compare the photos. A little later and I found out it was all a joke. Not very nice to mess with a pregnant lady! LOL

A couple years ago I made a fun meal of foods that looked "normal"but were not what they appeared to be. It was so much fun! Last year I was not able to do as much so this year I was determined to have a crazy meal again. I opted to use the same menu from before but we invited some friends over to fool them! 

Menu: Jell-O Kool-Aid, Grilled Cheese (toasted pound cake with orange frosting), unflavored gelatin eggs, and shepherd's pie cupcakes.

Mmmm TASTY!

La-La, Em, Jaco, Lex, Ari, and Care Bear

What is in here?

Hey! My drink is solid!

Looks like frosting but tastes like mashed taters!

Kristine wins the best face award after she discovered the bright colored jell-o egg she bit into was actually unflavored gelatin colored with food coloring. She was not a fan!

I love a good harmless joke! I better start planning next year's menu. :-)
