HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!!!
I think I pulled off my first succesful April Fool's Day trick today! I set it up perfectly. My four-year-old and three-year-old were playing quietly with lego and Polly Pockets, and the baby was quietly launching all the food off his highchair onto the floor for the dog to eat. Chris was having a nice sleep-in on a Saturday morning, when I quietly climbed back into bed next to him, and made a few seconds of idle chit chat. Then I dug deep into the part of me where the hours of highschool drama instruction was tucked away, and I quietly said "there's something I need to tell you." Just by the nervousness in my voice he new what my big news was going to be. Yes, I told him we were expecting baby #4, and that I had seen the doctor on Wednesday. He slowly rolled over with a look that was telling what he was really feeling inside, and "compassionately" said "why did you wait so long to tell me?" PERFECT for the delivery of my prank. I calmly replied, "because I didn't know how to tell you. And because I was waiting for April Fool's Day." The last thing I heard before he buried his head back under the pillow was "Jerk".
