April Fools Day and Spring Break

April Fools Day was the first day of Spring Break. Easter was the day before, and we were leaving in just a couple days for a trip down to Arizona, so we didn't have the energy to do any spectacular jokes this year. However, the kids were pulling April Fools jokes all day. I think I was told at least 50 times that there was a shark on my head. It was such a scary day!
The kids had been planning for weeks to take Daddy lunch and actually use plastic food. We ended up meeting Jared for lunch that day and boy did they fool him!

We did get to have a funny time at dinner. The kids didn't think it was funny at all that I served just Cheetos for dinner (at first). They thought it was great.

We had left overs from Easter dinner but everyone had to use their funny utensils and plates.

Bradley was in charge of treat that night for Family Home Evening. He served brownies or I should say Brown E's. Mackayla thought this was so funny.

Then he served mashed potatoes and gravy (ice cream and caramel sauce)

This wasn't anything funny, but they made little stick puzzles of the themselves that night for the upcoming road trip.

Jared and Caitlin brought down their pajamas that night. They got them all mixed up!

The kids had a great time just hanging out and playing together the first couple days of spring break.

We left Wednesday afternoon and drove down to Arizona. We got in about 2am. I don't think we want to do that drive all night thing anymore. We were so exhausted the next day, and all the kids ended up being awake that last hour or so of the drive anyway.

We tried going swimming at the Pulver's pool, but it was very cold water! So we didn't last long.

Jared took us to lunch at Pete's fish and chips. He loves this place & wishes there were one outside of Arizona!

Nini took us to the mall to ride on the carousel.

Getting ready to leave. We headed out Saturday evening and drove part way. We had a great time and wished we could have stayed longer.

Here is a picture of our sexy driver taking us home!!

We were trying to get Caitlin to start drinking cow's milk, and the kids thought it was so fun to hold her while she drank a bottle.

Our pretty girl is getting so big!
