We celebrated Easter with our neighbors, the Nigro family, and Rayna made an AWESOME Easter brunch! The kids got their Easter baskets before we went over to their house and then they did the egg hunt in their back yard. Since it was Amelia’s first Easter where she could walk and be a part of the fun, I went all out and found the biggest stuffed bunny I could find. Amelia loves animals – both stuffed and real – but she especially loves stuffed bunnies and bears!
According to my mom, I'm a ruthless prankster but it's not my fault she gives such good reactions. So, when April 1st comes around, I usually have a few tricks up my sleeve. This year I got up really early, took Mike’s car and drove it far enough down the street where he wouldn’t be able to see it from our driveway. Funny enough, about an hour after he got up, he suggested we drive his car instead of mine to the nursery garden. He walked in the house and said, “My car is gone, somebody stole my car!!” I could only keep a straight face for about a minute, but it gave us both quite a laugh.
I had been planning Noah’s April’s Fools prank for about a month; I saw a website that showed all these foods that looked like one thing but were actually made of something completely different. I was going to do a piece of pie that was actually meatloaf with beet mashed potatoes but decided I’d be a nice mommy. I made a “grilled cheese” but instead of bread and cheese, I used pound cake and orange frosting. When Noah figured out what it was, he was very excited . . . I guess the joke was really on me, since I gave him a TON of sugar for his lunch!
