You Like it Like That

When the kids and I were brainstorming ideas for what to do on Father's Day they mentioned that M really like practical jokes. So, we've been planning a day of high jinks for the last couple of weeks.

First up, we covered the top of the toilet with saran wrap. When M went for his first thing in the a.m. bathroom break..... Sorry folks, no pictures of that gag.
Second, I put food colouring in his bowl underneath the cereal. When he added the milk-GREEN!

Our third trick went off without a hitch. Knowing that he would be working on laundry today we closed the door to the basement and covered the handle in vaseline. Hahahahaha.

We imagined him rushing to the sink to rinse off his hand and had taped the hand held sprayer nozzle so when he turned on the tap-BLAST-water all over. But he was wise to us by then and asked someone to turn it on seeing as how his hand was slippery. Our two knew the nozzle was rigged and said no but our poor neighbour got an armpit of water. Sorry about that H. You were an innocent victim.
And that was how we feted Father's Day. You rock M.

We did take a bit of time to wash his car this afternoon. No car related jokes though....that would have been dangerous. You can see that some people worked harder than others.

I'm sure it's obvious from this pic that A got a haircut yesterday. What's harder to tell from this picture is that he has a double mohawk. Crazy. I'll try to get a better pic tomorrow.

I was out at the garden one evening at bedtime last week and E brought this to M.
He said, "Mom left this book and note for you. I guess she wants you to read some of our book this evening."
Hmmm. It seems M saw right through this first attempt at a fake note.
Can you see why? (Other than the printing of course.)
