GOTCHA!

Today, I was dubbed the "best mom ever" and I'm gonna bask in it for a few more minutes because it will undoubtedly be revoked tomorrow morning.

The title was earned when our day started out like this:
I have a rule in place in our house:
weekdays = healthy cereal
weekends = sugared cereal

Abby was watching as I poured Brenna's bowl of Cap'n Crunch from the Cheerios box. Her eyes grew SO big and she kept repeating
"UM, MOM... MOM... WHAT IS HAPPENING?!"
Then Brenna saw it and said "WHOA MOM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

Happy April Fools Day girls!!!

Then dinner was served and I was asked
"Mom, we get sweets for dinner?! YES!"

This is what they ate:
Meatloaf cupcakes frosted with pink mashed potatoes!
a little sushi, my style.

I initially found these ideas for our Young Womens activity, so here's one of our cute girls showing her jell-o drink that wasn't so drinkable...
We finished off the night playing some Wii fit and I school them in the Hula Hoop!

It was such a fun day... now I need those talented bloggers I stole these ideas from to think of some new ones for next year!

Too fun! I can just imagine their faces when they saw the cereal.

I saw a friends picture of their dinner... they served "spaghetti" for dessert. Cupcakes in a 9x13 covered in cream colored skinny piped icing. Meatballs were Ferrero Rocher (sp) chocolate, then strawberry syrup as the "sauce". It looked really good.
