We woke to a cloud of smoke, what sounded like firecrackers and what felt like a heart attack.
Surprise! The two oldest kids woke us to cap guns going off and shouts of “Happy April Fool’s Day!”.
I have to say that if I ever doubted that my husband is a protector at heart, today proved it. He jumped about 3 feet straight in the air and then looked ready to attack. I on the other hand hid under the covers, my heart pounding a mile a minute. Oops!
The gunfire was followed by an array of brightly coloured snakes and insects (all rubber, of course) hidden carefully in kitchen cabinets.
And would you believe I had even driven my sweet children to the dollar store the day before – fully knowing that they were up to their usual hijinx? And yet still, I forgot.
Maybe next year I’ll set my alarm a little earlier. Shhhh don’t let the children know. 😉
