Happy April Fool's everyone! I actually had not remembered that today was April Fools until my sister Shelly called. She told me about http://www.familyfun.com/ where you could find fun 'trick' recipes! So, I decided I'd have a little fun with dinner tonight. When we all sat down to the table I told the kids that because they had been so good today I was going to let them have a cupcake before dinner. Their eyes got big as I placed a cupcake on each of their plates. Jordan immediately questioned my decision, but it was too late. Kinz dipped her finger in the tempting icing and took a lick. She made the funniest face and said, "This tastes like mashed potatoes!" I had made mini meat loaves in cupcake wrappers and frosted them with dyed mashed potatoes. We all had a good laugh. Then a few minutes into the meal Jordan took a huge bite of the grilled cheese sandwiched that I had also made. His face was priceless. I thought he would know that they weren't really grilled cheese sandwiches because of the cupcake trick, but nope...the trick worked like a charm...again. I loved it! The grilled cheese sandwiches were really angel food cake grilled and orange frosting in the middle. When Corbin took a bite he said, "This cheese tastes good!" Thanks for making our April Fools a memorable one Shelly! I am still laughing. This is one of the best meat loaf recipes I have ever made (I added steak seasoning to it) and having them in muffin cups was fun for the kids! I am definitely going to make them again.
I also was able to get a video of Brecklyn clapping finally! She has been doing it non-stop for two days! I am glad they could both have their own little video since they rarely get the spotlight to themselves.

Coming soon...Kin and Corb riding two-wheelers!
