April Fool's Day

This is certainly Grandpa Tom's signature holiday. Over the years, the kids have caught his love for the day. As the day approached this year, James and Meg were making plans as to what they could do to celebrate. James thought he would bake a batch of brownie,s spiked with paprika and red pepper flakes, to hand out to unsuspecting friends and teachers. I discouraged this idea, fearing lawsuits or unforgiveness. Some people (like me) take their brownies very seriously, but not everyone appreciates April Fool's Day. Meg learned this - she gained her teacher's permission to switch all the nameplates on the desks before school, leaving them to be confused when they opened their desk in a new location but didn't find their own things. However, a spoilsport classmate who was NOT amused announced the joke to everyone as they entered the classroom.

I am posting a video of the kids opening the "care package" Grandpa sent to the kids, arriving on April 1. I don't know if everyone will appreciate the video, but I know Grandpa will.
