...hopefully bring May flowers. Everything seems to be done blooming here. I can't believe it is already April! That brings me to my question, does anybody do anything for April Fools? If so what and do you do anything in the food department? I'm trying to think of something fun, but not too over the top that would be hard to repeat from year to year. Any ideas?
That being said, here is my menu:
M-Costco chicken, rice and veggies
T-chicken, onion, egg stuff with rice and salad
W-maybe something for april fools, like meatloaf/mashed potato cupcakes
Th-fish of some sort, salad and couscous
F-raman and fruit salad
Sat-pasta salad and rhubarb pie (I love spring foods--if only I could get my family to love asparagus)
Sun-picnic in between sessions of conference. This tradition started when we had to go to the stake center to see conference about 30 minutes away(in those days we didn't have fast enough Internet and our building didn't have the satellite). We would go and have a picnic on the lawn outside and usually get fun things like good rolls, deli meat and cheese and pringles. It was really nice because Spring time in TN is beautiful as well as the Fall and we got to sit by the temple. Well now we only have to go to our building 3 miles away, but the kids look forward to the traditional picnic, so we still do it and usually have friends join us. We've also added a bag of Easter candy to the must haves of the picnic (in the spring at least) and if the kids can answer questions about conference they get some. It's become a nice tradition and makes me kind of never want to move to a place where we get it on tv (I don't think we will ever have cable).
Have a wonderful week!!!

My mom always messed with food. While a little late now, she would make dinner for breakfast. I remember hamburgers & french fries and spaghetti different years and other years she would color our food different colors. Today we had green grits (for Gluten-free girl) & green oatmeal and blue milk. I put pears in K's lunch with green food coloring. Since we are going on a date tonight the kids are having colored eggs and fruit with funny shaped toast.
For next year,
I set the table with kitchen utensils. Big ladles, spatulas, whisks. I think it's kind of lame but it makes the kids laugh.
