Some of my kids have come home from school and asked my why we celebrate certain holidays. My response, because it's fun. I can't think of any other reason why I celebrate April Fools Day. I don't likw mean tricks, I don't like to waste things. But I love to play and have fun with my children, and this holiday allows me to do that. If my kids didn't like it, I would stop. But they love it. It makes them happy, makes them smile, and I'm pretty sure it even makes them giggle.
Here is what we did for supper the evening of April Fools. We had meat loaf frosted in mashed potatoes. 
The famous HUGE jello drinks.
Mashed potato sundaes, yes that's gravy.
And we ate late. Because we had swim practice. We didn't get dressed to come to the table, just came in all our swimsuit glory.
Breakfast we had yougrt and peaches.
Lunch was a sandwich wrapped in a Ra-men noodle package. Cheetos were replaced with baby carrots. Grilled cheese sandwich was really angel food cake with orange frosting in the center. Water was Sprite.
My school kids didn't really react, or at least they didn't tell me they reacted. They expected it. However, Gavin did not. You should have seen the look on his face when he bit into that sandwich. And the funniest was when he asked for some water and it was Sprite. The surprised, confused look on his face was priceless.
