I woke yesterday morning and went about the usual routine- kids up, fed and hubby out the door. Well Zach comes into the kitchen ready for work and our conversation goes as follows:
"how do I look?", "you look awesome" (as he is wearing my favorite shirt.)
"Look good enough for my first day at CHASE?" "What?" "Yeah, I got the job" "What?" "I interviewed last week and I'm starting today." "What? I didn't know about this. You would have told me, I don't believe it." "Yeah, I'm starting today- salary is __ and I am working as a personal banker"
"Okay who did you interview with?" "Something Carlisle" (as at this moment I can't remember the name he said)
"But you never told me" (as I'm thinking, "since when does my husband get a new job and not tell me!!! Good grief!")
"April Fools!"
"It's April Fools day!" "Aw man!" *Good laugh!*
And so I suffer at times because I have no reason to know the date.
Once I learned the date I decided to attempt something a little different-
But then it was 4:45 and I was at my friend Shannon's house down the street. She was the ambitious one and I benefited. She sent me home with some meatloaf in muffin cups.
I made instant potatoes, put food coloring in and boiled some carrots. We had cupcakes, carrots and dip.
Needless to say when Ben saw his plate he was more than willing to hop in that chair!
Thanks Shannon for the dinner! The meatloaf was really tasty!- not quite a cupcake, but it'll do. Fun day :)

I love the new layout of your blog! Thank you so much for your love and support last week. It meant so much to me that you'd drive down from Ogden on such short notice! I love you and treasure our friendship :)
I struggle with April Fool's Day. I never know the date either, and I am really gullible. Two people told me they were pregnant yesterday, and ya know, I guess they both really are because I haven't heard otherwise, but if they're not, I'm going to be wondering where the babies are in a few months!
p.s. I love your new background!
that's pretty funny. what's up with that meatloaf, what's on it? it looks sweet, but i don't think sweet and meatloag mesh. sounds like zach got you pretty good. i would have loved to have seen all that play out live. thanks for sharin.

I didn't do anything for April Fools...I only remembered when we put the shoes under the bathroom stall at TAB and then Kiki figured out they were my shoes and we were caught! :) My jokes always backfire, so I retired. :)
