WW: Fools {Linky}

April Fools Day came and went. I always do something harmless, that doesn't cost a lot of money. Usually I give my students a fake assignment. Art students do not like papers, so that's what I flock to. I have a handout, and sometimes a PowerPoint to give them. I blame it on Administration.

Since COVID-19 is stressing people out, I decided a fake assignment would be too much for them, and me.

Instead I showed up on their Zoom video like this:

I didn't say anything. One girl didn't even notice. Ha! I must me that funky looking all the time. 

We didn't do much for our own boys. Well I did tell Isaak that he had to clean the bathroom floor with an old toothbrush. He bought it because we do use an old toothbrush to clean small, in the crack things. Before he got to the task I said, "April Fools!"

My husband brought up a floppy silicone thing that looked like the boy's plastic snack plates. It was from a mold he was making. I said, "Stick it in with their snack plates. We'll see if they say anything." They kept shoving it aside. Around April 3rd I put part of Mica's breakfast on it. Most of the way through his meal he finally said something. 

Did you skip April Fools Day this year? What's the best trick you've ever played on someone?

WW: Moustache Bash {Linky}

Isaak and his cousin Evan are going to both have a birthday party soon. Evan will be turning 8 and Isaak will be turning 5. We decided that we're going to give them a moustache bash.

We got some moustache party stuff. Then I made these invites. They are not done yet! I still have to add when, where and I'm not married to the typeface yet. I tried more of a gangster typeface, but it was too strong.

Cousin Evan has a sweep broom mustache and Isaak has a Salvador Dali moustache.

The Little Punk Pooped On Me!

Last weekend I thought to myself, "I want to go see my lil' sister and nephews." I feel like I haven't been able to see them most of the winter because of my sickness or that sickness in our family. Now we are all well. Everything is good except for Isaak's emergency room visit last week. That's not contagious. I called them on Sunday and said, "Can we come over sometime today?" They said, "Yes." At 12 we were off to their house.

The boys played with their cousins. Terra and I hashed out what we were going to do for Isaak and Evan's joint family party. We decided that we're going with the ever popular mustache theme. My Brother In Law works at Oriental Trading Company, so he gets a deal and can pick it up, so we won't have to pay shipping. For the first time in my birthday party history (with my kids anyway) we're making cupcakes instead of cake. I couldn't resist these mustache toppers.

Almost the whole time I was there little Mr. Punk Emerson was sleeping. He hardly sleeps. That's a major problem at their house. I show up, and all he wants to do is sleep.

If you like his shirt, I won it at Snugfits when Isaak was little. They have the best shirts! I have to pump it up, I'm friends with the owner. Truly they wash up so nice though. They say some funny things to!

Finally Emerson woke up. I was holding him and he smelled. I didn't know he pooped. I just smelled a funky smell. I know they bathe him less because A) His skin is sensitive. B) He is going through chemo and under his shirt is all kinds of stuff they have to protect. C) He hates baths. I don't blame him. They literally have to put Saran Wrap on him to give him a bath.

The funk smell was poop. It smells funky because of the meds he's on. Up his diaper it went. I went to hand him off and my coat sleeve dragged into it.

I washed myself off. We had to drive home with the funk still lingering for 15 to 20 minutes.

Then my sister got threw up on and pooped on after I left. I think she took two showers that day.

Emerson is only on light chemo. Imagine what it would be like if he was on the nasty stuff!
