I was such a great mom today! These delicious vanilla cupcakes smothered in home made Chocolate frosting were waiting for the boys when they came home from school today. What an AweSOmE after school snack!!
...until you take a bite!
Clyde, oh Clyde. I watched he and Seth take their bites and begin to eat. Seth was eating around the edges first and therefore missed the cotton balls. Clyde took a great big bite right in! The cotton ball is stringing from his mouth to the cupcake and yet he just looks at it funny and CONTINUES TO CHEW! I'm laughing so hard that my tummy begins to hurt (in fact I'm laughing right now telling it.) I finally go over to the trampoline and say,"STOP! Stop eating that!" He says "What?" and he takes another look at the cupcake - the 2nd cotton ball is staring right at him (in fact, above is a picture of his cupcake.) "What is it anyway?" As if it is some sort of magical filling I have added to his treat. "Cotton balls Clyde! Please stop eating it." (My laughter is turning hysterical now.) "Real Cotton?" - "Yes, Clyde, APRIL FOOLS!!!" - "Gross Mom," as he takes an entire cotton ball out of his mouth that he's been chewing on and hands it to me. I truly believe had I not stopped him he would have just swallowed the whole thing. I did redeem myself by giving him a fresh cupcake-no cotton- after words. ***
Then we dropped off cupcakes at our neighbors house, the Judds. 1/2 fools, 1/2 regular. We got their Dad good according to the Mom, daughter Destiny too. They tried to pull a quick return on me a few hours later when I called for something telling me that their 3 year old was having a really difficult time breathing. They were just about to bring her to the ER when I called. Maybe it's a new food allergy? She's been given a blessing and everything but it was only getting worse. "Oh my," I say "What did she eat?" I just let the Mom talk it out, "grilled cheese etc..." until I finally ask, "Are you trying to April Fools me?" her reply, "Now why would I want to do that?"
I fear that next year we are going to get it!!

That's hilarious! My son would probably have just eaten the whole thing.
My daughters have been counting the days for April fools. They were going to wrap their ankles and take their crutches to school. April fools was on them as me and Clara started puking at 5 am and Susanna was too sick to go too. She was so sad she bawled. I'm glad yours was a fun day.
This is what comes from feeding your kids cotton candy--they don't know the difference between edible & inedible
