Kids and Holidays Make Me Happy!
I love holidays! I love all of the traditions and anticipation of these events. However, I have never been a big fan of April Fools Day. I don't know why, it just doesn't really appeal to me. I've never been the "fun" mom who does silly stuff for her kids on April 1st. Since I never do anything for it my kids barely notice the day. In fact if they didn't go to school on April Fools Day they probably wouldn't even realize it was a "holiday." But I work at a school with little kids. So I knew that some of them would really have fun today. First thing a little boy came up to me and told me that he brought me some brownies today. I was immediately suspicious because he had a huge grin on his face. Not a happy grin, a mischievous one. I took the foil wrapped paper plate from him and opened it. It was a plate full of brown paper E's. I had to admit that that was clever and laughed. Then I had the constant - you have something on your shirt, there is a spider in your hair, and more like that. Maybe one day I will decide that April Fools Day is fun, but until it's just another day for me. But I do love that there are holidays that are geared towards little kids and that does make me happy.
