April Fools Dinner 2010

Found some really good ideas for this years April Fools dinner.

Here's what we had...

For "dessert"! Pink frosted cupcakes!! (meatloaf with mashed potato "frosting")



Then, for "dinner"...


Chicken nuggets (wafer cookies coated in peanut butter and crushed cornflakes). I put them on the cookie sheet to add to the deception.

Grilled cheese sandwiches. (toasted pound cake with dyed frosting)

Corn and carrots! (Shaped starburst candies)

We're ready to EAT!!

Since is was April Fools, we had "dessert" first...


Tegan was all excited to have a cupcake... until it wasn't what she thought it was. It took a minute for her to figure out it was mashed potatoes, which she likes.

Jennan wasn't so sure about them either... but she came around, and ate hers.

Duncan was not happy that he didn't know it was mashed potatoes before he took a big ol' bite. He's not a fan of mashed potatoes. We let him scrape them off. He ate the meatloaf part just fine.

Liam was a happy camper! He loves mashed potatoes! He ate 3 of these.

Then we started eating "dinner"...

Liam was quite happy with his "grilled cheese". He didn't like the look of the "nuggets" so he didn't eat any.

Duncan liked the "chicken nuggets" the best.

Tegan was really happy about the "grilled cheese" too.

Jennan had a little bit of everything. Anna and I had to keep reminding our selves that this wasn't actually dinner. We kept trying to get the kids to eat. Then we'd remember... this is the dessert, they don't need to eat it.

They also had a special "drink" with "dinner"... jello!

The kids had a blast. We really enjoyed watching them have such a fun time at dinner. Hope you had a fun April 1st.
