april fools ideas

Not really feeling the Aprils Fools spirit even if it is one of my favorite days.  

For those of you that are getting into it and looking for ideas take a look at our Fools Feast from last year.

You can find lots of great ideas at Family Fun if you need more ideas.

My little brother thought his April Fools joke was good - I think this may top it.  I'm off to Snopes to just check on my suspicions of this being a joke.

we interrupt blog catch-up to bring you april fool's

For our April Fool's dinner we had chicken pot pie and for dessert we had cupcakes.

Where is the fooling in that you ask?  The pot pie was made with vanilla pudding for gravy, dried pineapple slices for chicken, and candy for corn, peas and carrots.  

I was especially fond of the corn.  Who knew that nuking some Starbursts in the microwave could create such a good "clay" to mold little corn kernels?!?!?  The carrots were also Starbursts and the peas were nuked Airheads rolled into little balls.

The cupcakes were made from meatloaf and covered in purple mashed potato frosting.  We have had the cupcakes for previous April Fool's dinners  so the kids weren't as surprised by them (Luke was - he was obviously to young to remember the last time) but the chicken pot pie was a hit.
