Dear Mommy,

We wanted so badly to pull an April Fool's joke on you but we couldn't think of what to do. We had already thrown all of our toys all over and taken all of the cushions off the couch, among other things that are really daily occurances. But we felt like today really deserved a special treat. After lots and lots of scheming, we came up with the perfect plan. As soon as you went upstairs for a few minutes, we sprang into action. This was going to be great!

Uh-oh! We think that dropping the glass 9x13 baking dish on the floor gave us away because that big crash, which luckily didn't break anything, tipped you off. Oh no, you hadn't been gone long enough to finish!

Although this is what you found;



Our plan was to mix up the flour, sugar and powdered sugar so that when you went to make something, everything would be mixed together. We promise that we were going to clean up the mess before you came so that you wouldn't know something was up. We shouldn't have dropped that dish and then the execution of our plan would have been perfect!


Love,

Your sons

p.s. We're very sorry about the static shock you got when you were trying to use the shop-vac to clean up. You and Daddy should know by now that vacuums and powders (flour, baking soda, etc) don't mix.

p.s.s. At least you got to clean the stove and oven really well!

The best april fool's prank from them would be to come down stairs and find them sitting, with arms folded, on the couch, just smiling and so excited to see their mommy.

How you survive all this I don't know, I think I have said it before but I would be crazy right now. You must have some serious patience levels. Good luck!

Oh my heavens! You & my sister (Tiffany) should get together & trade war stories sometime! Your kids & hers get into the same kind of messes :) Although, I think your Orange Cream Sofa trumps her Food-Coloring Painted Couch :)
