Procrastination....

Ever felt like you had so much to do, that you just start doing everything else that doesn't matter, in hopes that the stuff you need to do, goes away? :-) Well, the fact that I'm even blogging right now, is this state of mind exactly! And the pictures from our April Fool's Dinner will hit the nail on the head! We sure had fun with April Fool's Day this year! I made a backwards dinner, which was a great success.

I started off the meal, stating that we were going to do things backwards for dinner in lou of April Fool's Day... we would start with dessert, and end with dinner. So, the dessert ended up being a meatloaf pie with pink mash potatoes on top to look like yummy pink frosting. The kids LOVED it! Then we moved onto our main course dinner, which was mashed potatoes and gravy, with peas, corn, and carrots for our vegetables. Well, the mashed potatoes was a scoop of ice cream, gravy was caramel sauce. Then the veggies were starburts heated up a little, and formed into the shapes of veggies. It was a lot of fun, and we all look forward to what our meal will be next year!
James got into the joke making, and when Papa came home in his car, James ran over to him as fast as he could. He then went over to a tire, and told Todd that there was a bee on his tire.... Todd of course goes over to look closely, and he said he didn't see a bee. Then James gets a big smile on his face, and asks Todd what day it was!
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well! It's been a crazy week here, but we're doing our best to keep our head above water! One good thing, is I can tell the baby is a least turned the right way now! As long as he stays there, we're doing well! Ahhhhh.... only 6 more weeks!

What a fantastic idea! I'll bet everyone loved it! I still can't figure out where you find the time - but your boys will always remember that you DID!
