I ain't no April Fool

Thanks to the reader who B.) reminded us today is April 1st* B.) April 1st is April Fool's Day** C.) sent in this link http://familyfun.go.com/aprilfools/ to trick/prank/fool your family with recipe ideas and activities.

Not that we support fooling your family. Have you read Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food by Jessica Seinfield (who married the guy who did the voice of Barry in the Bee Movie - remember him...what ever happened to him?)

After reading a recipe in that book which married cauliflower and brownies (really)- I concluded fooling my family wasn't tasteful (literally).

Sometimes I think they are pranking me...like when Thing 2 said "Mommy - why are you dressing so fancy?" when I was wearing jeans. Then, I humbly realized - it was no joke - jeans are up-dressing in my oh-so-comfy-work-at-home-world of yoga pants. [my mom gave me a gift certificate for my birthday to buy something which would make me feel good and look nice for my husband to come home to -- thought that was a prank too] {both my presumption they were pranking me & their comments on my attire prove I am obviously gullible and look-trailer-chique].

*April 1st - headed to Great Wolf Lodge - look for the Parent Club write-up!
**April 1st is my sister-in-law's birthday (no foolin'). As I will be away - could someone kindly call/skype France and wish her joyeux anniversaire from me please

I've been asked to take my blog down due to some of it's content http://tinyurl.com/dkkgk8 Has this ever happened to you?

Cheers

It really comes down to getting more vegetables into their bodies!
