After being inspired by Pinterest I set out to make an April Fools dinner my kids wouldn't forget. We started with cupcakes. They were SO excited! Giggles stared at them for a minute and said, "That's not frosting, is it?" I just let her try it. She and Spunky figured out pretty quickly that it was really meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Little Calico dug right in with no comment, so I guess two years old is too young to know what food is supposed to look like. Bubba had the best reaction of all. He had the biggest smile on his face until he took his first bite. Poor kid. It took him forever to get around to eating it, but once he did he seemed to like it pretty well. I've always made pizza-flavored meatloaf because my kids prefer it.
After eating cupcakes it was time for our dessert: grilled cheese sandwiches! The kids were on to me by this point. They loved the toasted pound cake with yellow frosting. It really looked convincing.
We've never had any April Fool's Day traditions before this, but I think this one is going to stick. It's just too much fun!
