Ethan and April Fool's Day

Ethan really doesn't care much about Valentine's Day. Too much mushy stuff. St. Patrick's Day? Meh, he can take it or leave it. But April Fool's Day? An entire day devoted to tricking people? Now that he can get into! He recently asked me if he could decorate some cupcakes, so we decided to make a delicious April Fool's trick - spaghetti and meatball cupcakes!


He did most of the decorating himself; I just showed him how to work the piping bag. The meatballs are hazelnut truffles, and the sauce is strawberry jam. He even got to serve it to Dad for supper!

Alex figured out by looking at his messy fingers that chocolate cupcake crumbs look like beard stubble - or "pokeys", as he calls it. So he rubbed some on his face and said, "Look Mama! Me have pokeys too. Mmm, me eat my pokeys."
