I have never done anything to try and trick my kids on April Fool's day but this year I decided to! When they woke up, I had fresh bacon and eggs waiting on the table!
These are special bacon and eggs because they are made of CANDY! Mackenzie knew- right when she saw them she said "April fools!" Gavin looked at them and poked them with his finger. Finally, he looked at me and said "Mom, these are not eggs."
Avery was just happy to get some candy! 
Today is Gavin's 6th Birthday. I can't believe he is 6! It really is sad to think about how quickly my kids are gorwing up. I wish they could just stay little! For the past couple months, Gavin has been saying that he just wants to go fishing for his birthday so yesterday, Dallas woke him up early and took him fishing for the day. He had so much fun! When they got home last night, we let him open one of his presents. It was the movie Secretariat. We had a movie night, then me and the kids had a "slumber party" in the living room. This morning, Gavin wanted to watch his movie again so he turned it on in the girl's room. Avery has this little wood table and chair set in her room and was trying to put the chair up on her bed. The chair fell backward and hit her so she got mad at it and picked it up and threw it (she has quite a little temper). Unfortunately, it landed on Gavin's face. 
He immediately had this HUGE goose egg. I felt so bad for him. We got him an ice pack and after a while he was feeling much better. Not a great way to start out your birthday is it? 
here's the side view 
As I am sitting here writing this, he looks much better! He's still got the bruise but the bump has gone almost all of the way down.
We also had some visitors today! Grandma and Grandpa Sill came to see Gavin on his birthday! I was making dinner but our power ended up going out for an hour and a half so we got some pizza and just let the kids play for a few hours. Mackenzie and Trey spent most of their time playing wii just dance. It's such a funny game to watch! Especially Trey.. he gets so into it and pulls the funniest faces!
This is Tigger. My friend had her baby this weekend so we have been dog sitting for a couple days while she is in the hospital. My kids LOVE him and he has been fun but I still don't think I would want an inside dog. 
Gavin-opening some presents. 
He got a stuffed deer and a stuffed elk from Mackenzie and Avery. He also got 2 nerf guns, and a camoflauge machine gun...... 
and he got some "hockey talkies".. That's what he has always called them. We have tried to convince him that they are called walkie talkies but he just doesn't believe it! Grandma Sill got him another k'nex roller coaster to put together. He loves those things! It's a perfect project for him and Dallas to do together on the weekends. 
Dallas and his new best friend! (He did not want me to take his picture)
and.. more wii just dance! 
I bought this new silicone baking set that is supposed to make a giant cupcake and Gav wanted to try it out for his birthday. It looks more like just a big blob of cake than it does a cupcake, but- he didn't care! 
Gavin going to bed with all of his new stuff! He says he had a great day! I hope so! Happy Birthday Gavin! We love you so much and we hope you had a very Happy Birthday!
