April Fool's Day Jokes

I just had to write about the April Fool's Day joke Kynlee and Karley played on Matthew. When they got home from school they told me about an idea they had seen on Disney Channel. They wanted to "short sheet" Matthew. I was all for it! He picks on them all the time that I thought this would be a great, safe way for them to get him back. Mean, huh? Well, sometimes us girls have to stick together!:) I re-made his bed with his top sheet folded in half, so when he got in, his feet would reach the bottom of the sheet about half way down his bed. We couldn't wait until bedtime came around. After saying our family prayer, Karley hung around in their room, smiling and waiting. Trying to keep a straight face, I told Matthew to get in his bed so I could tuck him in. As he did he was like, "What the heck!" and us girls busted up laughing. We had gotten him! He was such a good sport and joined in laughing. It was priceless! I have to add that Matt attempted to play an April Fool's Day joke on the kids. Unfortunately, he set it up too late in the day and it was actually Kenzie and I that found it the next morning. I was getting her a bowl of cereal, and as I looked into the box, I noticed the cereal was not the cereal it showed on the box. I was totally mad and thinking I was going to have to take it back to the store and get it replaced. Well, come to find out, Matt had switched a few of the cereals as a joke. I thought it was brilliant! We'll have to remember it for next year!

How creative! I so don't take advantage of what all of the holidays offer. I would have never thought of anything like that, but those are some great "harmless" pranks. My wheels are now turning for next year. Shhh, don't tell.

Kyra - I love your family. I haven't had time to comment on all the blogs recently, but I love keeping up with you guys!! I loved this post but wanted to tell you how sweet Karley looked for her baptism! I can't believe how big she is getting. She is so cute. And Kenzie too! That first picture of her in bed is so adorable. I've never seen a cuter "just woke up" picture!

So cool. I wish we could come up with good ones, but can never come up with them! Hey, we got a new family in your house!! They are members too! But, they wanted to know what the garage code is, cause they can't get in. Or maybe how to reset it. So could you email it to me and I'll let them know! Thx
