April Fools

For April Fools day I wanted to do something fun for dinner. I got some ideas from my friend Jackie's blog last year, and thought I would try them out. She had one idea for doing meat loaf and mashed potatoes, but I didn't think Quinn would appreciate colored mashed potatoes. He hated it in college when his roommates would dye his milk different colors on April fools, or green on St. Patricks Day, so I chose another idea.



For dinner we had snails, lady bugs and ants on a log. Quinn wasn't too thrilled about this when he saw it. He thought it was fun, but it kind of grossed him out since earlier that day with work he had to do some work with mice. It probably would have done the same for me.

However, I did fool him with his juice, and he thought that was funny. I put red jello in his cup and let it set up. I poured a little juice on top to disguise it. He drank the juice and didn't even realize the jello until the next drink. I guess he was so distracted with the food and everything else. The juice and the jello weren't the exact color, but he wasn't paying attention, so it worked out. In this picture I think you can tell pretty easily that one cup is a little different.

Quinn, I promise not to do any more "creature" food for April fools. It was just fun to do something different to make my day a little more exciting.
