Last night around 11pm I was boiling eggs for Soren's preschool friends to dye today. I caught a glimpse of something out my front window and thought I saw 2 people (Kasey and Katie this has your names written aaaaalllllll over it!) creeping around in my front yard, then take off running. I went outside and found this in my mailbox. 
Hahahahahaha!
Extra appropriate since my notorious raccoon incident happened on a spring general conference weekend, which is coming up in a few days.
To those who know can enjoy a good laugh. Those who don't...I'm takin' it go my grave. (Not really. The secret pretty much died with the raccoon.)
The second trick was played on me by my little trickster daughter, Reese. She loooves April Fools Day. Probably because she has such a gullible mother.
Aaron ran to the grocery store this morning to buy eggs. (I got distracted by the raccoon joke last night and overboiled that batch and they all cracked and split open. Still edible, but a big stinky mess and no dye-able eggs.) I didn't have enough for preschool this morning, so at 6am Aaron went up to walmart for me. Sloane was finally sound asleep and I settled in to catch 20 minutes before the morning rat race began.
A little while later Reese burst into my bedroom exclaiming, "Mom, help! Dad ran out of gas up the road!"
I flew out of bed in a panic, knowing this would make everyone late for everything, and bumbled about, trying to find shoes and pants and I heard little giggles and, "April Fools!!!"
Funny funny trick, girls!
After that, it was a mad rush to get everyone fed and out the door, boil new eggs, and hide the plastic ones for Soren and his pals.
The house is suddenly quiet for a quick spell and the Piccolo Pete is still spinning in a hot mess in the kitchen.
