april fool's day flop

i thought i'd be so funny and trick the kids today by offering them styrofoam balls - dipped in chocolate.
totally backfired on me.
i mean, who would have thought they'd devour them the way that they did?
i take that back. i figured asher might. he's my child who loves chapstick and contact solution, and who voraciously inhales anything that goes into his mouth like it's the last thing he'll ever be given to eat.

i apologize for my annoyance in the video. i was laughing so hard, tears were streaming down my face.
poor ruby seems so confused.
i think next year i'll do chocolate covered brussels sprouts, or radishes.




on a different note, today we hit a record high temperature of 100 degrees.
no april foolsin' this time around.
it was a HOT one.

Oh man, proof that chocolate makes everything better I guess! Too funny!! Hearing Ruby crunch into that styrofoam...I couldn't stop laughing...especially when she took another bite! And then they both wanted more! Ah, hilarious!

Hilarious!! Try white toothpaste inside oreos! It works like a charm..I gave them to my young women as a camp treat last year..they totally feel for it and are still afraid of what I will do this year!

I cannot stop laughing. This is so funny. I loved how Ruby was crunching away at it one little bite at a time, smiling at the camera while she chewed. And then Asher shoved the whole thing in his mouth like it was no problem. So so funny. Thanks for the laugh!
