The Kids Trick their Dad

3/31/09

The kids know what April 1st is. At dinner we talked about different types of jokes that people play on each other on April Fool's Day. They both gave examples...Micah tried to tell me that they had seen a wolf running down Hwy. 26 at recess. Maddy pointed to the wall and said, "Look mom, a big bug!" We laughed and talked about how tricking someone can be more than just telling something that's not true. When we were done eating I secretly called the kids into the living room to share the shoe trick with them. They thought it was the best idea in the universe. And boy were they excited! They quietly found their dad's shoes and took them upstairs to stuff the toes with toilet paper. In the mean time I told Mike to just ignore the ruckus upstairs.


They quietly (not really) made it back downstairs and put the shoes back exactly where they found them.


Mission accomplished!

I convinced Mike to hang around this morning until the kids were out out bed. They were so excited!

Here Mike is just getting ready to put his shoes on.









The kids ran to him to show what they had done. And they screamed April Fools!!!
