April Fool's

On the morning of April 1st, Maya surprised me with breakfast in bed. She brought up a plate full of beautiful strawberries and a tall glass of lemonade. After huggin' and kissin' on her for being so sweet, I take a huge gulp of lemonade and Maya yells, "APRIL FOOL'S!!!"

....and then I almost died.

She had filled my glass with 100% lemon juice from the fridge!!!!! I gag and quickly grabbed a Strawberry to wash out the nasty lemon taste in my mouth,
and then, "APRIL FOOL'S!!!!"

.....and then I almost died....again.

She had sprinkled a TON of salt all over the strawberries.
That was a very proud moment for this momma. She had totally pulled off a seamless April fool's prank, all on her own. Such a funny and clever girl.

Little did she know, I had some tricks up my own sleeve.

I am a pretty mean mom and never put sugary snacks in Maya's lunch. So, for lunch I had purchased a little snack size chips ahoy bag and taken all the cookies out of the bag and replace them with carrots. *hehehe*

After school Kai, Jonah and I played this little prank:

For dinner I made a "chocolate pie with pink frosting". The kids were beside themselves when I told them we were going to do things in reverse because it was April Fool's and have dessert for dinner. It was actually meatloaf with pink colored mashed potatoes.
*hehehe*
Such a mean and sneaky mom, I know.

Let's just say, Maya wasn't too happy about the dinner trick.... Poor girl. She was so excited to have dessert for dinner. Ü

I wonder if she will try and pull anything on me next year?
