I didn’t come up with an April Fools prank for the blog. But we had our traditional dinner… I called it the Montez Family Annual April Fools Day Gala Dinner. I think I need a few more words for the title.
I gather all the leftovers and whatever I can find around the house (raisins, pretzel mix, a bag of peanuts) and assign it a weird name, make up a menu, and have the family order from the menu. Here’s the file: Montez Family Annual April Fools Gala Dinner, if you want to try it next year. It’s really no more work than a regular dinner, except for putting together the menu, which makes me giggle and is kind of fun. A celebration without more work? That’s the best!
Anyway, I was nice this year. The only non-edible thing on the menu was grass (springfling, and almost everyone ordered it!). Other than that, it was orange chicken (from Costco) if they chose right, or cereal, leftovers or dog food if they chose wrong (with the name of “dinnypup” everyone figured it out). Sophie was disappointed that her dessert was ice (while others got ice cream), but other than that, everyone had fun with it. Good times.
In another, completely unrelated event… Please go vote for Shannon and Jason, an SMP bride and groom, who are up for Best Bouquet on The Knot’s Real Wedding Awards!
The flowers were done by the wonderful Lani and Elizabeth at Lani Elizabeth. They really were amazing.
In the spirit of trying to get you to go vote, here are more of the amazing flowers!
They were amazing. Even on the hottest day of the year!
