Happy Teasing Day!

Garrett got a kick out of April Fool's Day-but he called it teasing day. It took a little bit of explaining before he really understood what it was all about, then there was no stopping him. The rest of the day he would pinch me and say "just teasing", or tickle me or say "Maura is crying" then "just teasing"-the day was made for my little teaser!

I started it all by calling Adam at work and telling him Dallin had fallen off the monkey bars at school and was on his way to the hospital and that I needed Adam to leave work immediately and meet me there. It helped that I hadn't rehearsed my shpeal 'cuz I stammered over the words (trying to hold back a laugh) and he believed me. Then I told him what day it was and he wasn't too mad. Good adrenaline rush for him though! Hee Hee

Then, while the boys were at school I 'planted' things in the garden! When Garrett got home I told him "Look, our garden grew!"


Our garden grows baby carrots, apples, oranges, bananas, smarties and suckers! He totally believed me! How excited he was that we have a garden that grows suckers (he didn't even blink at the apples and bananas)! Then I explained about April Fool's day-he was bummed. But, he did show it off to friends who came to visit later that day and was careful to explain that it was just Teasing Day.

Dallin wasn't too surprised by it, having been indoctrinated by the kids at school-but he did think it was cute. Later he told me he got in trouble at school today. After I put on my Dallin-how-could-you face he grinned and said "April Fool's"! He got me!

Hope you had a fun day too!
