April Fools ideas welcome..nee begged for...

So, April Fools Day tomorrow, huh? GOt any big jokes planned? I have nothing planned and my son just this morning asked me if I was going to so the same trick for dinner as I did last year or if I had something better planned...oh no...I started something last year and I cannot live up...that is where I need your ideas!

Every year when she was alive, my aunt Cathy would do the same April Fools joke: put a rubber band on the kitchen sink sprayer so the first person to turn it on would get sprayed. And every year my Papou (that means grandpa in Greek) would humor her and get sprayed and act surprised. This went on for 50 years...yes 50.

Two years ago on April 8, Cathy passed away, so last April Fools I was feeling nostalgic and felt I had to do something big in her honor...

Last year I made little "cupcakes" for dinner and "french fries" for dessert. The cupcakes were actually meatloaf with pink colored mashed potato "frosting" and the fries were actually pillsbury dough bakes and sprinkled with sugar. Here are som pics:

How is the world do I top that (with minimal cost)? Ideas welcome! In fact, I am begging for ideas...Please...

Spring has sprung and the kids are OUTSIDE!!!

Spring is in the air and mommy is a happy lady! Seriously, is there anything better than the kids out playing happily? This is what I found when I looked outside on Saturday:

Ah...Life...NICE!!

St Patricks day dinner...

It's kinda hard to tell in this picture, but on St Patricks day some Leprechauns visited our house and turned our bread and spaghetti green while I was making dinner. I only turned my back for a second, but those leprechauns are fast...I did not see a thing! But we enjoyed our green meal. It looked a but Christmas-y with the red sauce, but we were ok with that! (The green bread is not pictured above-it was still baking)

Boy have I got a deal...and it's bigger than the kids are tall!!

The other day I posted about our amazing deals at Hy-Vee (you can read that post here). In that post, I mentioned that the reciept for the great deal Wes got (50 cans of soup and 4 boxes of Frosted Flakes for $10.52 and he got a coupon for a free gallon of milk value up to 4.19-see picture above) was taller than our kids. Just thought you all might want to see a pictur of that! So, here are Ender and Solace next to the reciept:

Funny, right?!
