April Fools and not

April 1st how fun! We started the day with Brian trying to play constant pranks on us...Kenzie finally got him back by stuffing the toes of his shoes with paper so that he couldn't get them on...he fell for it! It was funny. For dinner tonight I got out 3 huge plates...put a mound of chocolate chips on one, a mountain of gum drops on another, and kissables on the last. I then put down forks and called the kids to their dinner plates. You should have seen their eyes! Emily said, "mom...you rock!" We then said the prayer...and Kenzie told the kids..."hurry protect them, cover them, guard them guys, because as soon as we say the prayer she's going to take them away!" (she's a smart girl) I had them say the prayer and then let them believe for a min. or two that it really was going to be dinner...they are smart... and started shoving handfuls down their throats. I of course said APRIL FOOLS and gave them their real plates of salad and whole wheat spinach pasta....but it was fun. I also called Kenzie several times only to hang up on her when she answered.....

On the NOT part...my mom has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. This is a very hard time for her and she needs all the prayers she can get. She is having a mastectomy on April 10th...please include her in your prayers...my mom really does "rock" I love her so much and hate to see her scared and sad.
