April Fool's

You know this is one of my favorite holidays! I love April Fool's!
This year for dinner I fixed Chicken-Not-Pie. It is actually vanilla pudding with colored Tootsie rolls shaped into mixed vegetables, with pie crust on the top. Here is a picture without the crust. Since we have chicken-pot-pie every once in a while the kids didn't question it even when I made it in individual servings. We all had fun with it. (Familyfun.com is where I found the idea.)

Esteban has been working on a research paper lately. He put together a Power Point presentation all by himself. He had to give the presentation to his class on Tuesday. His first slide was the title of his presentation: Cow Pies. The second slide was complete with a picture and graphic details of the make up of cow pies. The third slide was titled April Fool's. The actual research paper was on the Texas (surprise, surprise). He talked a lot of about the history of Texas including The Alamo, of course. The kids in his class were amazed that he has been inside The Alamo. He did a great job and he received a hundred percent on the project.

How fun! I made "colorful cupcakes" (from familyfun.com), that were actually meatloaf and mashed potatoes. The kids had tons of fun with it.

Nice job, Esteban!

Love you all! Brenda
