The first joke of the day really turned in to be a joke on us: I found an idea from the Family Fun website. The suggestion was to carefully open a snack package, replace the contents with something unexpected and carefully tape the package back together. Jackson wanted a fruit roll up for dessert with lunch today. I carefully removed the oh-so delicious fruit roll up from its package, replaced it with baby carrots and taped the package closed. I have to say, the package looked completely un-manipulated. I included a note in Jackson's lunch that read: "Happy April Fool's Day! Love, Mom." Being the nice mom, I put the fruit roll up in a zip loc bag and included it in his lunch.
When Jackson arrived home, I immediately asked him how his lunch was today. He said, "April Fools, you put two fruit roll ups in my lunch." I asked him if he ate both of them. Unbelievably, he did NOT! He didn't even open the fruit roll up package. He ate the one in the zip loc bag. I absolutely couldn't believe it!! We all had a good laugh when I told him he had to open the fruit roll up package and carrots came tumbling out.
Jackson's teachers, Mrs. Grzeck and Mrs. Hunter played a little joke on the class today. They told the children there wouldn't be any school on Monday...April Fools!
And our last April Fool's joke: Jackson had soccer practice this evening. On the way home, Jackson asked what we were having for dinner. I told him we would be having the leftover chicken and rice casserole. Charlie and I LOVE this casserole. Our children will eat it, but it's definitely not their favorite. It's one of those, "you have to eat it the first time we have it, but you can have a hot dog if we eat it for leftovers" meal. Jackson was a little disappointed in his mother's dinner choice. Luckily, it is April Fool's day, and we enjoyed a nice, scrumptious meal at McDonald's. It was complete with milkshakes, of course!
What a fun day we've had! This fun day is rolling into a more fun weekend....
Jackson had a difficult time containing himself this week because we are headed to Pittsboro, for not only Cole's birthday party, but a spend the night with Cole Kivette. (Eliza used to call him "Cold Kibette.") Jackson and I are driving to Pittsboro after Jackson's soccer game tomorrow morning. I think he would skip his soccer game if we gave him the option. Thursday, we were discussing the spend the night. Jackson asked me how he was going to get home on Sunday..."Are you coming to get me or will Ms Kelly bring me home?" Finally, I understood him... When I told him I would be staying the night too, he was a little disappointed! I told him that I was going to have a spend the night party with Ms. Kelly. He asked if we'd be sleeping in the same bed..."Uh, no. Mr. Aaron will be there. I'll sleep in the guest room." He agreed to let me come with him. Thank you, son!
Well, the weather has been quite chilly this week. Last week....was amazing. We went to the beach one afternoon, bathing suits and all... This is what happens when you live so close to the beach!

| Silly faces! I'll leave you with one last "Eliza-ism": She wanted to wear her princess watch today. So, we dug through all of her dress up clothes to find the princess watch. It's a toy, no hands or numbers. She looked at her watch and said, "It's Belle thirty." Yes, sweet girl, it is! |
