No Joke

This year General Conference was on April Fool's Day.  Kind of a weird mix of a day, but somehow we were able to go back and forth from completely and totally crazy to thinking more along spiritual lines.

Baylen and I were able to pull off an awesome prank.  I would highly recommend it to anyone.  We put those little easter egg dye pellets in the faucet of our sinks.  When the water came out, it came out different colors.  Tanner was the first to turn the water on in the morning.  Baylen and I were standing outside of the bathroom listening.  We heard the water come on and then Tanner say "Eww, gross."  Then he turned it off and went to the downstairs faucet.  He didn't even say anything to us about how the water was coming out orange.

 For breakfast we usually have milk in bowls and pancakes in glasses.  However, it's a long standing tradition to have sticky buns on conference mornings.  So, that tradition won over the other one.  However, we still had chocolate milk in bowls.
 We loved playing different games to help the kids focus better on the talks.  For this one they got a candy every time they said the word in front of the bowl.  We discovered that certain words are said A LOT in talks (for good reason :)
 We then had our traditional April Fools mystery menu meal.  For Tanner's first course he got a piece of ice, a fork, spoon, an fishy crackers (they get 4 items each course)
 Hailey got her drink… but she didn't have a cup to drink out of yet.
 We put this puzzle together as we were listening to the last session.  It was pretty challenging because most of the pieces were the same color.  Go Cougars!!!
