Okay, Okay, April Fools!

Okay, April Fools! No, I am not pregnant! David and I were just getting totally silly and carried away last night, after playing a million stupid jokes on each other, I just got out of hand and posted this April Fools Joke. I am really sorry if this played with anyone's emotions too strongly. I usually don't like jokes that play with emotions! I just thought it would be funny. Thanks for indulging me. As for the picture, I have always been able to stick it out pretty well and with a little back arch, plus a hand on top anyone can look a little pregnant! You all really helped my self esteem a lot by believing me, because the other night we were playing "Mafia" with some friends and I was dubbed the worst liar in the group. As soon as everyone opened their eyes they just knew if I was the killer. I always thought I was a good actress, but apparently I was a little out of practice! Thanks for helping me feel like I still have a few skills left!

That being said, who invented April Fools? It is definitely my favorite holiday ever! I have awesome memories of really really wild stories my Dad used to tell on April fools. One of my favorite stories included him getting stuck in quick sand on the way home from work. As a seven year old kid, I was on the edge of my seat asking "Daddy, how did you ever get out?"when we would realize it was April Fools and all join in chorus "April Fools!" Now at our house, David and I take it very seriously. In fact we play jokes on each other all April long and say April fools. Our first April fools David tied a rubber band on our water squirter on the sink and then asked me if I would get him a drink of water from the tap. I knew something was up because he usually just does things himself and he usually drinks water from the refrigerator, but I looked around and didn't see anything so he still got me! I was mad because it was actually 20 minutes until midnight on March 31 and I didn't think that was fair. Then being ruthless, I put Cool Aid powder on his towel so that when he got out of the shower the next morning he would put it on his skin and turn blue. I felt bad when he wiped his face first and got it in his eyes. I also put a bunch of pudding in his shoes, but after the towel episode he was too smart and checked his shoes.

Anyway, A very happy April to all of you! Please have some fun and play a joke on someone this month!
