abreakfromlife Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 hahaha, that's awesome. We have a triple bunk bed for our boys, so dd went in and changed all their bedding around and moved them all to different levels...ds is ticked about being moved to the bottom, lol. They want to get her back, so the 5 yo is giving her doughnut seeds (cheerios) and I think the 8 yo is going to do something with stinky socks, LOL.

Tardis Girl Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 We have homemade oatmeal every morning for breakfast, so I served up green oatmeal instead this morning. I didn't let them see it until I set the bowls on the table. Unfortunately, my 6 and 5yo almost started crying and didn't think it was very funny. I had to repeatedly tell them it tastes THE SAME as it does every morning, show them the bottle of food coloring, etc. The 6yo finally believed me, but the 5yo never did fully recover. lol Oh well! So much for trying to keep it simple and not freak them out.... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Well....I thought about doing this.... My husband has absolutely no clue when I see my doctor for my OB appointments. I might just email him something along the lines of "Hey Babe, I forgot to let you know that I had another OB appointment this morning. They actually gave me another ultrasound! I was excited to be able to see the baby again. Check out the pic....don't pass out!" And then attach an ultrasound picture of twins (gotten from somewhere on the internet). I may send it this afternoon....not sure if he remembers that today is April 1st! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSheep Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Dd is the prankster at our house today. Nothing big. She drew pictures of big eyes and stuck them on the toilet tank in the downstairs half-bath, which is the one we use most. That sort of thing. My favorite so far is that she drew a crayon picture of a whoopie cushion and put it on her brother's chair by the computer. Evidently he saw it before he sat, though, and moved it to her chair. They had a good giggle about how her whoopie cushion prank "backfired". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in Appalachia Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 My 2nd dd switched the boys pants around (3 boys, she swapped all of their jeans). They never check what they are putting on, so they ended up putting on the wrong size pants. I told my oldest boy that I was cancelling school for the day, because their grandfather is visiting. I said they could watch tv and play video games all day. When I said April fool's, he was quite upset. :D I don't think there will be anymore jokes today. It's also my oldest child's birthday. She's 17 today. The rest of the day will be for her. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 So far, I have: -- Put red food coloring in the toilet tank. M2 woke me up this morning with, "Mommy? MOMMY? The water in the toilet is red, and I didn't do it, I swear." :lol: -- Rearranged several pieces of wall art in my house. It's bugging my son to no end but I want to see how long it takes before DD notices. -- Changed the password to my husband's iPad. He called me from work with the question, "OK, what is it?" I felt very proud of myself. :lol: I don't think I'm done. I'm contemplating going to Target and picking up some underwear two sizes too small for my husband and stuffing them in his drawer. I'm also considering what to do to dinner to make that memorable as well. I do love me some pranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariannNOVA Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 You guys are SO funny! :lol::lol::lol: I don't have two seconds to do anything -- I am packing, de-cluttering, throwing stuff in the dumpster, and afraid to stop for more than a two minute break now and then b/c I am getting tired.

Beth S Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Well....I thought about doing this.... My husband has absolutely no clue when I see my doctor for my OB appointments. I might just email him something along the lines of "Hey Babe, I forgot to let you know that I had another OB appointment this morning. They actually gave me another ultrasound! I was excited to be able to see the baby again. Check out the pic....don't pass out!" And then attach an ultrasound picture of twins (gotten from somewhere on the internet). I may send it this afternoon....not sure if he remembers that today is April 1st! My 19yo dd posted a 6-week Ultrasound photo on her FB status, announcing that I was expecting a baby. I am 46. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary on Tuesday. At least 10 of our friends have sent their kind wishes, prayers, blessings for our new baby. (This has trumped her AFD FB joke from last year, where she posted a picture of her hand wearing MY diamond engagement ring . . . announcing that she is finally spilling the beans about the wonderful guy she's engaged to. It's easy to change your FB status to "in a relationship with .....") I AM individually replying to the friends who took it seriously.

MomsintheGarden Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Aack - dh (Reg) has overused his "it's snowing!" joke, so I didn't fall for it this time. Instead he said he found a louse when combing his hair this morning. He got me with that one! I "helped" him when I told him I had a nightmare last night that we all had lice. Sure am glad that was a joke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We woke up our ds this morning by saying "hurry, hurry! You're going to be late for swimming lessons!" Swimming is his fave thing in the world, but swimming only starts in June. He was out of bed like a shot and dressed in 15 seconds flat. Boy was he ticked when he woke up enough to figure it out!! :lol: My! We are mean parents! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momto3innc Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 My father in law texted this morning: I broke my arm and called you last night from the hospital. Why haven't you called? This was at 6:50. We were still in bed:glare:. He had not broken anything. We will definitely be doing something to him later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn in OH Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I told the kids school was canceled for today. I couldn't think of anything better. They were very excited considering it is spelling test and science quiz day. Boy were they mad at me when I said I was only teasing. I couldn't think of anything good to get my husband with. Pregnant wouldn't work. I considered telling him that I either wanted a divorce or that I was having an affair, but not only is that too mean for me, today is our 12th anniversary, which would make it even worse. I'm going to try to come up with something more before the day is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 My brother called me this morning to tell me that he needed a place to sleep tonight as he had a huge fight with his wife (of 28 years) this morning and he left her. My stomach dropped into my toes. Then, he started laughing. He is twisted. Apparently, he also woke up his son (age 14) this morning at 5 AM to tell him that he needed to get up because his dog was loose outside. Again, twisted.

AHASRADA Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 My dd plastic-wrapped a scary mask inside the toilet seat to scare whomever wandered in there to sleepily use the facilities this AM ;) But her friend got her good (although "good" isn't really an appropriate description of her prank). She called my dd late this AM to tell her she is moving several hours away, and that she will likely miss their mutual friend's bday party next Friday because they are having a real estate open house that weekend. Dd was so upset, crying, talking about how her BF is moving away, so far away that she can't even visit, etc. I had just spoken with the mom on Tues. and she hadn't mentioned a move, so I thought either dd had misunderstood, or something sudden and terrible had happened. I promised to email the mom to get the full story, and as I was typing, it dawned on me that it could be an April Fool's prank. Dd called her back, and after initially denying it, she admitted it was a prank, but not to let on to their other friends, since she's pulling it on everyone. What a relief for dd, and creative of her friend, but still...:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knit247 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 My 14 yo glued the eggs to the carton this morning!... Tonight I'm going to cook pancakes. Ds14 is going to get a layer of cotton in one of his!!! Funny! I managed to really get DH today (only the 2nd time in almost 15 years). He has been in the US for almost two weeks. He's tired. He's irritable. He's heading home tonight. So I sent him the following email (you should know that we live in the oldest part of our village and can't even park at our own house anymore. Parking has been a huge issue with us the past two years - with constantly changing rules): (Name), The Stadt (city) towed your truck this morning. They are now saying that you can not park in one spot for more than 36 hours. I have the no. to call but do not know what to do as I can't go down there & pick it up. I am so sorry. I have not been by your truck & did not see the notice they supposedly put on the windshield. Please LMK what I should do. He emailed back - furious - and said he would takle care of them (I mean, the situation) when he returned. I emailed back - in a huge font - APRIL FOOL'S, SUCKAH!!!" He loved it and said I just made his day! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joannqn Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I haven't done anything. I'm kind of tired of April Fools, but the pj bottoms appeals to me. DD colored our milk green. She also hid a dollar bill in the toilet paper roll for some lucky finder. One of my previous past jokes was a great one. Using those teeny tiny rubber bands, I rigged the sink sprayer so that when DH turned on the sink in the morning to add water to the espresso machine it would spray him. It got him good. A big flop was Family Fun's food pranks. I served everyone mini "Chicken Pot Pies". The kids hate chicken pot pie, but this one was made with candies and pudding. It was gross. For dessert, we had cupcakes that were really meatloaf and colored mashed potatoes using their recipe rather than my own. They were also gross.
