Just eat it—I promise there are no surprises!

They don’t trust me!  Everything I served them today they smiled and inspected closely but wouldn’t take a bite.  “I bet there’s lots of salt in it!”  “She probably made it really spicy.”  “I think there’s paper inside.”

Who me?  Would I do that?  In past years, yes.  But this year I was normal as can be, not a single trick up my sleeve.  I loved watching them squirm, looking and waiting for the unexpected all day long.  Which never came.  All part of my plan.  Until dinner, when I served this:

Taco Salad (sundaes)

And bundt cake (stuffed pizza with cheese on top).

I love April Fools’ Day!

Way to not let them down!! This is just another great reminder as to why I tend to copy my big sis. I love your mothering style.

You are the best, Mirien. The bundt pizza is very convincing. Wow, I bet your kids really "ate that up."
