Spring is here! Hooray! After a long, looooonnnnnggg rainy season, the sun is back. I'm so glad, I even felt like celebrating April Fools Day. I saw these sneaky cupcakes on OurBestBites.com and decided to trick the kids. I even made real mashed potatoes and peas and carrots so the kids would be really confused when I put the fakeys on the table. And it worked! So fun!
But Dean got me good. It all started when I went to pick them up from school. Edie jumped into the car first and announced, "Dean got a citation!" all happy. I thought it pretty sad (but realistic) that she was excited to see her brother get in trouble. I was stunned of course. Dean is the least of my worries when it comes to school behavior. Dean came a minute later and didn't say anything about it, so I asked him. He said that yes, he had been given a citation today. And then fished this out of his backpack:
Authentic, his teacher really did write it. It sure fooled me!
I absolutely love the fact that my kids can actually help in the kitchen now. Instead of the toddler "help" I had for so many years!
All the bunnies were rolled out by the kids, even Evan did the balls. Here they are with the scraps that are just as much fun.
Edie and Dean put the faces on the bunnies.
YUM! I can see this becoming an Easter tradition similar to our Christmas sweet rolls.
