April Fool's Day

Of course today is April Fool's Day, so Cari and our youngest daughter Malia decided to prepare everyone a special meal. Since our oldest, Alyssa, is a vegetarian, what could be better on this day than meatloaf...



So Cari served up the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy for everyone to enjoy...



Only on closer inspection, Kekoa noted that not everything was as it seemed...



The "meatloaf" was actually a rice crispy type treat, made from Cocoa Puffs breakfast cereal.

The "mashed potatoes" was vanilla ice cream, and the "gravy" was caramel sauce.

April Fool's!

When the kids finished their dessert of rice crispy treats and ice cream, it was time for the real meal.

Cupcakes!



Which naturally couldn't be real cupcakes...



These "cupcakes" were individual servings of meatloaf covered with mashed potatoes mixed with different food colorings.

Kinda makes my teasing the kids with "your shoes are untied - ah, hah, April Fool's" seem kinda lame in comparison.
