Bo has been looking forward to this holiday for quite some time. He has been planning "tricks" to play on people. We even read a kids chapter book about April fools.
We had to deny a few of the tricks he wanted to play like put a real rat in Mommy's bed or in Mommy's cereal. He also wanted to "steal" Mommy's car or drive it to Will's house in the morning so she wouldn't know where it is. We made some compromises.
After Bo went to bed the night before April 1st, we stacked all the pillows and cushions in front of Bo's bedroom door so he couldn't see out of it.When he came down for breakfast, Daddy gave him a bowl of cereal with milk that had been left in the freezer over night so it was completely frozen. Bo thought that was great. His orange juice was in the same state.
When Daddy and Bo left for school that morning, we drove Mommy's car down the street so it would be hard for her to see. We also put two of Emmy's stuffed animals in the car seats all buckled up to make it look like they were driving.
For Bo's lunch, Daddy taped up all his bags of food and the inside so it everything had to be untangled to get out. Bo said it was hilarious and he showed all the kids and teachers.
For dinner, we made spaghetti but Bo set the table before Mommy & Emmy got home. We made a place for every stuffed animal in Emmy's room and had them imitating eating dinner. Emmy thought it was cool.
Bo has lots of ideas for next year.
