April Fools Fun

I was really excited to see that no one had signed up to feed the missionaries on April 1st. So I took the opportunity to have some April Fools fun. I went to the store and found the grossest meat I could, which happened to be beef heart (I think next year we'll have to do liver or tripe). Then I threw it in the crock pot in the garage (so I wouldn't have to smell it) . When the Elders arrived with Ryan we told them we were having one of his favorite meals from his mission. Their faces were priceless when we told them what it was. So they sat down and dished some up and we were mean enough to even let them try it. One of the Elders actually said it was pretty good. We quickly told them we were just kidding and that our real dinner was in the oven. I think they were relieved. We also served them red colored water as juice and topped off the dinner with cupcakes with cotton balls in the middle. All in all, they were really good sports and we had fun. Next year I'll have to play some good jokes on Ryan and the kids.
