happy fooling!

I've always loved April Fool's Day. I just really like a good joke. So I decided to play one on The Hubs. My plotting began very innocently with a silly meal plan consisting of dessert for dinner and dinner for dessert, but later became a little more sinister. My only defense: well I have none. The Hubs just said jokingly (kind of), "You're a terrible person," when I said "Just kidding, April Fool's!"
"I'll laugh about this someday," he said. Ooops.

Dinner! Fish sticks, (a little on the burned side) black berries, raspberries, and mashed potatoes and gravy.


Dessert: yummy cake with vanilla frosting and cherries on top.


I kid, I kid. Dinner was really double layered meatloaf frosted with mashed potatoes and gravy and topped with halved tomatoes, green onions and ketchup.
And, dessert was twix covered in roasted coconut (in my case, burned coconut) candy berries and vanilla ice cream topped with caramel.

OK, so the pictures kind of stink, but it was fun and Grey seemed to like it!




As for the more "sinister" part of the day: I had my friend who is pregnant take a pregnancy test for me so I could tell The Hubs, "Surprise! I'm pregnant! With ANOTHER unplanned baby!"

So after I was done frosting my meatloaf...hehe, I told The Hubs I had been feeling weird, so I bought a pregnancy test. (This is pretty normal at our house. We basically have to budget for monthly pregnancy tests. However, they usually come out NEGATIVE.)

Well I planted the fake one on the counter and went back into the kitchen for the finishing touches on my meal and The Hubs yelled, quite calmly from the bathroom, "Hey Kell, are you planning on having a Coke with dinner?" "Yes," I replied. "Well, maybe you shouldn't," he said. He saw the positive test and was very excited. :0

Well I should have told him April Fool's right then, but I let it go on through dinner, because I had it all planned out that I was going to tell him after dinner. For some reason that seemed important.

When HE finally realized it was the 1st of April, he said, "funny day to tell someone you're pregnant." Then proceeded to tell me one of his professors told the class, class was canceled and they could all go home, then followed with "April Fool's!" He complained that jokes are supposed to be bad news, followed with real, good news.
"Kinda like when your wife tells you she's pregnant and she's really not?" I said.
He stopped and said, "You wouldn't do that." At that point I wished I REALLY was pregnant and contemplated getting pregnant really quick so I wouldn't have to tell him, "yes I would, and I'm a terrible person."

Well when I told him I wasn't really pregnant, it was a joke, the man got teary-eyed and a little choked up, at which point I decided to crawl into a hole and never come out.
That's when he said, "I'll laugh about it someday." AHHHHH!
Hopefully that day is today??
