Maddy and the Gold Fish

I finally had a chance to talk with Maddy's teachers about the April Fool's trick I did with the kid's snacks. Both of her teachers were in stitches retelling the story to me.

I guess Maddy opened up her little carton of gold fish, dumped a few out, realized that they were noodles, and then made eye contact with one of her teachers with a confused look on her face. Her teacher played right along and asked what she had for snack. In the mean time, the teacher turned her back for a split second and before she had a chance to say anything, Maddy was crunching away on the noodles. At this point her teacher gave her the gold fish we had secretly taken to school. Maddy then munched on both the crackers and the noodles.

Life as a 5 year old couldn't get much better!

Gold Fish Crackers

We decided to send the small gold fish cracker boxes filled with macaroni noodles to school with both kids. We were a bit hesitant with Micah, but they had so much fun with their dad and his shoes, we figured it would be ok.

Here is the email Micah's teacher sent after snack time...

Micah just realized he had noodles instead of goldfish. The look on his face was hilarious (completely puzzled, then he read the carton again to make sure it was really supposed to be goldfish) and he started to laugh. He told the whole class what was in there and that it must be an April Fools joke. He wasn't upset at all! I think he's happy to have the real goldfish though!
