Foolin' around

Last year, it was the sushi made of Fruit Roll-Ups, Rice Krispie bars and candy. This year, it was fish sticks and cupcakes. But which was dessert and which was the meal?

April Fool's!

Mom found a recipe for a fun April Fool's meal at FamilyFun.com. It consisted of:

Meatloaf cupcakes (with dyed mashed potato "frosting") ...


... "fish sticks" made of wafer cookies, peanut butter and corn flakes, along with "peas and carrots" made of Runts lime candy and orange Tootsie Rolls (cut up) ...


... "mashed potatoes" made of vanilla ice cream and "gravy" made of butterscotch topping ...


... and "juice" (actually, Jell-O).



Here's how we made it ... and the kids' reaction.





We started April Fool's Day early by switching the kids around while they slept, putting them in each other's rooms. It would've worked had Gabi not woken up. ("Mom, I want MY bed!")
