April Fool's Day

Did you enjoy April Fool's Day? We certainly did!

We started the day by papering the kid's doorways. We have a large roll of paper from the newspaper and cut pieces to fit the doorways of their rooms. It wasn't quite wide enough, but I wasn't going for perfect. Lovey opened his door first and I think the noise of the paper being sucked in startled him, but he just pushed it aside. He laughed when I said April Fools, but he is loves a good joke. Littlebit opened her door and went back to bed crying. I went right in and said April Fools, but she is not a morning person.

My mom got me with a text about her job. My first thought was she would be coming to live with us. I didn't see the text right away, so she sent me a text saying April Fools a little later. I tried to get her back that afternoon by saying that Lovey broke his arm and can't play baseball this spring. (When I told Lovey later, he thought it was funny.) She caught on quickly. It is hard to fool someone when they have fooled you first.

I didn't get Big Daddy this year on my own. I did get him with my mom's text about her job. He was home, so I couldn't move his car like last year.

It seemed as though Mother Nature was playing an April Fools joke on us though. The weather was nice last night, we went to the park and today we had an appointment to replace part of a window. Of course as soon as we removed the window it started to rain. Thankfully the rain came from the north (unusual) and the window was on the south and we didn't get any rain in the house. Today it is sunny again.
