Other stuff I wrote recently: Passover, April Fools' Day and more

It's Sunday night and that means I like to share what else I'm cluttering-up the Internets with lately:

• I'm at the awesome, irreverent, and awesomely irreverent site In the Powder Room for the first time making my case for why Passover is an Endurance Event.
• I'm also at New Jersey Family with 10 Fun Foods for April Fools' Day and 5 Memorable Big Apple Sleepovers for Kids.

I would also like to thank:

• Babble for including me in their review of the book I contributed to, I Just Want to Pee Alone.
• The Stir for sharing the craziest advice I got when I had my first baby.
• Barista Kids for including me in their favorite tweets of the week.
• The Huffington Post for including me in their best parenting tweets of the week.

And last, I'm also documenting my daughter Kay's love-hate relationship with matzoh has it evolves from Day 1 through Day 8 of Passover, so if you haven't liked Random Handprints on Facebook, now is the perfect time!

Tomorrow I plan on pulling a good prank on my kids, celebrating the penultimate day of Passover, and planning for pizza and cupcakes come 8:07 pm Tuesday night. And you?

April Fools Day Fun - Easy Joke to Play on Your Kids

I actually got my kids good last year on April Fools Day.

With apple juice. More accurately fake apple juice.

I got them first thing in the morning. I told them to go in the family room and watch TV and I would make breakfast and call them in when it was ready.

Then I brought them all a glass of refreshing apple juice to enjoy while they were waiting for breakfast...

...and stood in the corner and watched as they slowly realized their juice was just apple-ly looking gelatin.

It was great.

The kids later claimed they should've none something was up when I told them to go watch some TV while I brought them a drink. Yes kids, you should've. But you didn't. HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY!

Note: This prank inspired by Jelled Juice. I made mine with plain Knox unflavored gelatin and apple juice.

Now to think about something good for this year, who has a good (and easy) idea?
