APRIL FOOLS

Being the Sushi Chef I am, I made homemade sushi for dinner tonight!! HAHA- April Fools. Last year, I ran across this really cute idea for an April Fools dinner and to my utter amazement, it worked out. So this year, I was gonna take dinner to some friends and couldn't quite decide what to take. I still hadn't decided on anything for sure as of this morning when I went to work at Kambria's preschool. While I was there, someone mentioned it being April Fools. I decided a repeat of last year's April Fools dinner would be fun.

For the main course I made sushi. It is actually dessert, being made out of Rice Krispie treats rolled around Gummy Worms and wrapped in Fruit by the Foot. It really does look realistic. Last year Kyle was in tears when we tried to get him to eat it. He hates fish and anything to do with it and thought we were the most horrible parents for making him eat sushi. This year he wasn't fooled at all and was excited at the prospect of eating Sushi. :)


The dessert is actually the main course. It is meatloaf with mashed potatoes on top. Of course the mashed potatoes have food coloring in them to make them look like frosting on a cake. Last year I made cupcakes, but this year I didn't have as much time...so therefore made it look like a cake.

The kids asked if we are gonna do this every year. I said maybe it would be fun for me to think of something new each year and see if I can fool them. :) It was a fun day and fun to see the kids eat their "dessert" first! Happy April Fools!!
