Don’t be an April Fool!

We love April Fools!  Here are some of our pranks from years past that are still laughed about and remembered.

Before my two younger girls were old enough to tell time, I made pizza for breakfast and woke them up to tell them they had slept all the way through lunch time.  They sat astounded at the table, munching pizza.  We had a field trip planned to a farm, so we packed our picnic “dinner”.  Then, we arrived home and I told them it was pretty late, so they needed to get to bed.  After they were all tucked away I told them we would have some of the farm fresh eggs for breakfast the next day.  Ten minutes after we tucked them in bed, we changed clothes and came in and told them good morning, then had breakfast for dinner.  The girls were so confused.  We had a lot of fun.  We still talk about that one.

Another silly prank is to use a piece of tape over the nozzle button on your sink sprayer.  When someone turns on the water, instead of pouring down as usual, the sprayer sprays water straight out.  I am actually going to repeat this one this year, so shhhh do not tell my family. 

For the computer addict in your home, a small piece of tape across the bottom of the mouse will make it quite worthless and quite funny.  If you are computer savvy you can change the mouse buttons from left to right. 

For fun with younger kids, make some jello and pour it in their drink cups.  Insert some straws.  It will look like juice, but will not suck up the straw.  They can eat the jello as a treat.  We have also used the clear Kool-Aid and served it like we were having water for dinner.  Imagine everyone’s surprise. 

Tonight when my oldest daughter gets home, we are going to fill her truck up with balloons.  I shudder to think of what the girls have planned for me.   

Have a little fun!
