I Had It Coming

Grady was my knight in shining armor this morning, getting up and feeding both kids, putting Connor down for his first nap and settling Caitlin in to play in the living room so I could catch an extra couple hours of sleep. When I finally made it out to the living room to see how Caitlin was doing, this is what I saw...I was stumped! The spots were so evenly spaced, but they would kind of rub off with my finger...they weren't red but more of a brownish color...hmmm...she must have put her face up against something, but what? Or could it be some kind of allergic reaction, maybe to her breakfast?? I checked her arms, etc, and the spots were only on the face...did she get a hold of a pen? But they were brown, not black, and so evenly spaced (that part really got me). Oh no! Poor Caitlin.

So I called Grady at work and he also had no idea, suggesting maybe chicken pox or something?? He let me go on a bit and worry until out came the words...
"April Fool's!"

Good one honey. Almost as good as the stunt I pulled on you two years ago...

That's awesome!! Randy came home and tried to get Olivia to tell me some story about something crazy happening at school but she got confused in the middle and blew his cover by saying "what was it again, Dad?"

That is SO cool.
You know, every year on April 1st I think about "your-water-broke" story! And I kind of waited for someone fooling me. It probably will happen when I don't think about it...

Ha ha! Good one! :)
Loved the "my water broke" story too!

Haha I had forgotten about you telling him your water broke. Altho I must give points to him for the quasi-chicken pox scare too. Haha I love April Fools. I pulled a good one on one of my professors... muahahaha
