April Fools

So I was a slacker this year and didn't do any April Fool's pranks on my kids.  My oldest doesn't appreciate my humor, my 10 year old is visiting with Grandma for a few days, my 4 year old probably wouldn't get it and the baby is too young.  Well, at least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

However, I have played jokes in the past.

Last year I fooled the kids with jello instead of juice in their cups, you can read about it HERE.

And the year before that I made Brown E's.  My daughter had some friends over and they totally thought I made brownies, as I pulled them out of the oven and everything.  They humored me and tried to eat them.

What tricks do you play on your kids?

April Fools Drink

Yesterday being April Fool's Day, I couldn't let the day go by without playing a trick on the kids.

I got my idea from HERE.  It's just jell-o in a glass so it looks like juice.

Yesterday morning I made some black cherry jell-o, poured it into two glasses, added a straw and let it chill in the fridge.

When the kids got home from school.  I said I had a refreshing drink waiting for them.  I had also made black cherry kool-aid and poured that for myself.  I was drinking that so of course they thought they had the same thing.  

It was pretty funny watching them try to drink it up.  They soon realized it was jell-o.

However, I didn't realize my kids don't like jell-o so they didn't want to eat it.

Next year I'll have to make a tastier treat to trick them with.

How was your April Fool's Day?  What tricks did you play?
