April Fool's Day
Our family LOVES April Fool's Day almost as much as Christmas. Here are a few of the things that we've done over the years to give you some ideas to surprise your loved ones.
The first year when my husband and I were married we sent a card to my in-laws that said "guess what we're pregnant" When they opened it up it said "April Fool's! Since we were first to get married and they were dying for grandkids they got a big laugh out of that one!
One year my brother, who had been remodeling his house for years, turned off the lights at the breaker box and yelled to my sister-in-law "Quick get the fire extinguisher". Of course she came running and just about killed him for that one.
My oldest son LOVES April Fool's Day so he is always pulling something on us and he's good at it too! Well, Mike decided he would beat him to it a couple of years ago. My son love Furby's and has a collection of over 150 of them.
Mike came running upstairs screaming "BJ, your furby started talking crazy and then just exploded and started on fire" BJ just burst into tears and started screaming "My Furby's!" and ran downstairs. Of course the joke was on him when he got down there. That one sort of backfired on us. We didn't mean to upset him so much. We assumed that since it was April 1 he would have guessed but I guess Mike did a great performance!
One year my sister-in-law was visiting us in Idaho. My brother was talking to her on the phone and he said "oh no, the police are all over here I gotta go". She waited an hour and didn't hear anything so she called him and he said "I can't talk now I will have to tell you about it later". Of course we still didn't hear anything by then and we were all thinking the worst. We were worried sick! When she called back a long while later he said "April Fool's!" We all could have killed him for that one!
