Zach wanted to go to a friends after school before he can go he has to do his jobs, so he went to check what job was his, and noticed that the job chart said "No jobs today, due to April Fools Day" Zach did a happy dance and ran off to play. I am high strung, so no jobs is seriously unexpected. Carson thought it was a trick and did not know if he should do them or not, I laughed again.
Dinner was next while the kids were still so unsuspecting. Dinner was Banana Splits with toppings and three different types of ice cream. We rarely have dessert, and we really did start with banana splits the kids were ecstatic. After the banana splits we had pizza and bread sticks, while no doubt not exactly healthy, I must say that it was so nice not to have a fight about what was for dinner for once. That won't happen again.
The rest of the night was calm maybe due to the large amount of food they had each had for dinner.
When it came to bed time, they all went to bed in the room that sported their specific bedding. All mixed up and I loved it.
Now that we have them so throughly confused, they won't have any idea what to expect next year.
As for tomorrow everything is back to normal....

You guys are awesome. I can't wait to copy that idea. The trick is remembering it for a whole year. I was just craving some cake, but I think I'll have a banana split instead. mmmmm.

I second Amy, could you please tell us plans in advance so that other fun-deprived children in Utah County could have good memories of their childhoods?
