DD1 just came in with my second Tim Hortons coffee I asked her to bring up. Her and DH replaced it with warm water. Well played you two We are going to a home convention show this afternoon. While I'm excited to go, I know I'll likely want to renovate the entire house and buy a hot tub while I'm there.
Re: April Fools jokes, a friend of mine on FB has 3 kids and after they all fell asleep last night, her and her H moved each kid to a different bed. So they woke up this morning in bed that wasn't theirs. I thought that was kinda of cute, but generally April Fools isn't for me.
Except when you are an idiot like my BIL who stole some poster from his boss then started leaving him ransom notes for it. He got in big trouble for it.

omg, my kids would freak if we did this to them. Like crying hysterically freak.

...I must be an idiot also because this sounds hilarious to me...
In a professional work environment this sort of thing doesn't go over too well.

This reminded me that last year one of my husband's co-workers put packing peanuts all over his desk to celebrate our "peanut" (pregnant, obvs). He was just annoyed he had to clear it all out before he could work. Also, this same co-worker covered another person's desk in candy, and he was pissed all he got was packing peanuts.
These stories are making me really glad that we don't bother with April fools much! I always enjoy spotting the fake stories on news sites, but that's the extent of it for me.
A couple of people have mentioned needing to be on guard all day. Over here, we say that unless you do your prank before twelve noon, you're the fool.
We've just been to a first birthday party. L had a whale of a time, and I was able to rule out the venue for her party because of the lack of space.
And H has just got home! It's the weekend! Hurrah!
ETA: I meant to say Happy Adoption Day to Kristykristyleelee and family :-)
I've referred 2 of my friends to TCF this week. What's my prize? One of them is due in October, @hazeldublin. So I told her that you were there and awesome.

Is she there now? Do you know her screen name?
I just told her about it in the last couple hours. I don't think she has a screen name yet. I'll check in with her in a couple weeks or I'll stalk over there to see if she's appeared.
Also, a big thank you to those of you who pushed us to get in touch with a realtor. We're going tomorrow to look at a couple of houses that she had access to that weren't publicly listed. H seems really motivated to be househunting, and while there are definite perks to renting, it would be really nice to be in a place where we have some control over our environment.
FX for you guys! House hunting is crazy. I hope you guys have a good experience with this realtor!

I think you have to know your audience, I could see it being really fun and funny if done to the right person.
This is true. The next year my boss and I called our president of sales and told her we forgot to design an entire season. She started crying on the phone. That was not a funny April fools joke.

Well I've done nothing productive today. Except washed bottles. I told myself I could sit down for 20 minutes after we got back from lunch with my mom, and an hour later, I'm still sitting here. Oh well.

Wait. I lied. I did call and set up payment plans for 2 large medical bills. I think we've already met our out of pocket for this year too, or are fairly close.
This is kind of a confession but probably too lame for FFFC so I'll leave it here. I've confessed before that I don't drink coffee. I'm not sure what has happened in the last few weeks but I've found myself craving iced coffee and I've started drinking them. I blame J15 for subliminally influencing me with all the coffee talk.
So, one of my closest friends had a baby girl yesterday and named her the same first name as one of our other close friend's daughters (just turned 1). I think it's okay personally. I say name your kid whatever you want but I don't think it's going to go down well. Thoughts?
sammyca, ok with me too. Both girls will have friends with their first names eventually. But would not choose the same first name as my brother or SIL's kids or close cousins.
Exactly! It's not a common name but it's not out-there-made-up either.
