April Fool's Day

I have never been a big practical jokester, and I don't think pranks at the expense of others is even a little bit cute. As a child (probably about 4 or 5) I remember my father telling me to run in and tell my mom that he had spilled a can of paint (he was painting a hallway at the time). That is literally the extent of any pranks I remember from my childhood. For the next 30 or so years, I pretty much ignored the "holiday". My kids of course, think that today is an absolutely hilarious holiday. They can't wait to "get" each other, and frankly, it's driving me a little crazy.

On the upside, we are getting out of the house shortly. My parents' anniversary was yesterday, and we are headed to their house for dinner and will be joined by my sister. We are so very grateful to be able to share this day with them, and the kids are excited to be able to go up and see them!
