April Fools Day and Stitches, Conference and Beauty and the Beast!
My family loves April Fools Day. I don’t. Ben planned tricks on the kids and the kids played tricks back on him. ALL DAY. Ben colored their baby pictures and sprayed them with silly string. He blew the air horn in their faces and dropped a stink bomb in the living room, (Do you see why I don’t like this day!) The kids piled His (my) bed with blankets, put squinkies in his shoes and tried to smear him with whip cream during pie face. They put ice and slime down his shirt and sprayed him in the face with the spray bottle. They all had a fun day of tricks.
General Conference was on April Fools and we were excited to have a quiet Saturday at home to watch. During the first session Millie pulled Tiago down the slide and he hit his head on the hearth! stitches needed! so Benji watched the kids, Ben drove and I held Tiago and held his wound closed. He got 7 stitches and we missed that session of conference.
While we were at the ER the kids made Tiago a sign! and then Tiago went right back to the slide when he got home!
We made cookie cutter pizzas for Lunch/Dinner and watched the next session of conference. Ben got to go to Priesthood Session with his Dad. We watched basketball and chilled and the neighbor PEAed on our porch to finish out the April Fools Day!
Sunday morning we had Waffles before Conference. We had a big Candy Stash and whoever payed attention and listened for our special words got to get candy after each speaker! Sugar over load.
Stitches seem to being doing their job.
We got to babysit Dagny and Gus on Monday!
and then we let Megan and Joel babysit Tiago while we took the kids to the movie. We all loved watching Beauty and the Beast and sitting in the loungers and eating too much popcorn: (next time we need to leave Millie home too – CRAZY GIRL)
