April Fool's Day Emergency!

[Chelli]

Okay, the kids aren't up yet and I need a plan.

 

Give me your best April Fool's jokes that do not require purchasing things since this is so last minute.

 

I need something GOOD. :sneaky2:

[PinkyandtheBrains.]

Change your name for the day. Make them "drinks" with Jell-o and straws. Surprise them with a "pop quiz!"

My dh ran into their rooms screaming, "Fire!!!!" They were up and out of bed and very angry. ;)

 

The girls took dh's underwear out of his drawer and replaced it with theirs. They thought they were hilarious.

In addition to dyeing hard boiled eggs, I added some fresh eggs to the bowl. They are dyed too. I am the only one who knows which ones. DH's face was priceless.

Glue on the toilet seat, (ds got dh with this one this morning - just a glue stick, so it's not super sticky or hard to clean up)

 

We put plastic eggs in the cupboard so they fell on dh when he went to make coffee.

 

Plastic wrap across the door. Books stacked into a door frame.

Tell them you are deathly sick with the flu, have them wait on you all day, clean the house, do the laundry, cook for you then after supper clean up you can hop up and holler "April Fool"!!

[Pippen]

When my children were very small (under school age) I once got out the Christmas lights and strung them around the kitchen. They were speechless when they walked in and saw them.

We emptied the Cheerios out of the box and replaced them with dry cat food.

I played a prank on the boys today.

 

You take a mentos and using a needle thread dental floss through the mentos.

Open a 16 ounce soda bottle, and lay the mentos on top, not letting it trouch the soda.

 

twist the lid back on and trim the dental floss strings... When they open the bottle, the mentos drops down and sprays them.

 

Kids loved it! :D

I told Rebecca that her coach said she'd have to repeat Level 4 next year. She was almost ready to cry for real until I snorted and gave it away.

I know this is a April Fool's Day thread, but as she is a USAG gymnast (or so it appears in her videos), there is a really good chance that you were not lying to her. All the skills moved down this year and the new level 4 is now the equivalent of old level 5. You might want to mentally prepare her for this.

I always make a *special* April Fools schedule for my oldest. This year I assigned her two math lessons (I was going easy on this), asked her to readthe entire book of Psalms and outline it (in one day!), and let her know I had signed her up to give a speech at the 4-H Roundup tonight. She was so upset. You should have heard the outrage when she thought it was real. I was on the phone with my sweet MIL when my oldest finally discovered it. I was glad someone else got to hear all the moaning and wailing and gnashing of teeth!
