Doin’ a little prankin’

Happy April Fool’s day! I love this holiday. I am convinced it was created for mothers. It allows us to get a little crazy and have a little fun apart from our daily routine of parenting and housework. This year I read up online about a few fun things to do in the kids’ lunches. I try to change things up each year so I am hoping this catches them by surprise.

Here is what I did for their school lunch:

1) I emptied their bag of chips and filled them with carrots and used double-sided tape to seal it back up. They look seamless!

2) I made “grilled cheese sandwiches” but instead it was pound cake with a little cinnamon to make it looked toasted with orange frosting in the middle. My kids will probably request it every year! I also used my trusty double-sided tape and closed their ziplock bags so they will have a tough time getting them open.

3) I made cute mini hamburgers that are really made out of cookies, coconut, frosting and mints. These are more just fun as I assume they will know right away they aren’t real.

4) I gave each kid a piece of double-bubble, but took out the gum and put in a macadamia nut. I fear major disappointment on this one.

5) Lastly, I gave them each an apple with a gummy worm coming out it.

Lets hope they still love me after the day is over!
