ApRiL fOoLs!

The boys this year really got into the spirit of April Fools and pulled some "funny" practical jokes on us. It started as I tried to walk in the house yearly that morning after running and couldn't open the door because of the furniture that was pushed up against the door. When I got in, I found that all of our furniture in the family room (up and downstairs) was down the hallway. After I got the boys out the door for school, I went into the bathroom to get ready and discovered toothpaste all over in our sinks and faucets. No the jokes didn't stop there. We had vaseline on our toilet seats (thanks Bryson) and vaseline on the door handles (thanks Mckay) and more toothpaste in our sinks all day (thanks to Garrett). The boys are already planning attacks for next year.

I decided I had to get back at the boys, so...
my friend gave me a great idea and I quickly put it together before the boys got home! They were so excited that Mom had made them an earlier Easter treat!

They were very surprised when they couldn't cut through the cake and saw it was toilet paper. So the last laugh was on them! We then decided to take a couple of cakes around to their friends...
Oh, I also got them again when I told them we all had to go with Dad to a long scout meeting in Provo. They had to sit quietly and they would be serving hot dogs (the boys hate hot dogs). They were fooled when we took them to Tepanyaki Grill for Tanner's upcoming birthday dinner. What a fun day, I am nervous to see what the boys will do next year...

Nice job guys at gettin' your parents! Ang, way to fight back. I love the disappointed looks of Bryson and Tanner at the end. Classic!
