April fool's day

No April fool's jokes here although Grace had fun "fooling" people. We had a lovely day at the Wildflower center amongst the bluebonnets. We have really been blessed the last couple of weeks with some great spring weather. Don't they look so sweet?
Too sweet.
Throwing pennies into the wishing well with Grandma. Lucas has recently gotten obsessed with money. Everytime he gets out of the car now he has to grab a coin out of the cupholder.
Such a sweet picture with Grandma and GreatGrandma. Look how well everyone matched. And no, it was not planned. I guess we all had bluebonnets on our minds.
Lucas's other new obsession is throwing things, anything into bodies of water. That's a little stream below him.
Checking out the stone windows.
Grace demanded a picture with this statue.
The perfect ending to a perfect day. Sometimes I am reminded how lucky I am to be able to stay at home with my kids. And today was one of those days. Not many people get to spend a beautiful day out with their kids at such a pretty place. Many thanks to my mom for inviting us.

Our funny April Fool's day story: Steve and I really pulled one over on Grace. She loves sweets and is always, always asking for dessert. So, after dinner we drove out to Dairy Queen to get some ice cream but we didn't tell her where we were going (we've never been there with her). When we got there, we convinced here that they sold brussel sprouts and green beans there. We even got her to agree to try the brussel sprouts---"they make them with just a little bit of butter and pepper". She had no clue. You should have seen her face. I'm just sorry I don't have a picture of it. She finally got her ice cream and that put a big smile on her face and made her laugh at our April Fool's joke. Silly girl.
