    It’s April Fools, All Right (+ Opening Day)

    phillies-fan

    People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball.

    I’ll tell you what I do.

    I stare out the window and wait for spring.

    Only, today is Opening Day (well, technically I guess it was yesterday but for Phillies fans it’s today) and someone missed the memo about baseball being a SPRING sport.

    Here I’d been stressing over what kind of April Fool’s Day prank I could play on my kids this morning, that wouldn’t make a mess or make them late for the bus… Mother Nature got smart and played a joke that got them jumping out of their beds in a jiffy.

    “Quick! Look out the window, guys! It’s snowing!”

    And at that very moment, the snow was thick and furious and freaking unbelievable It tapered off to pretty much nothing in moments, so my pictures aren’t too impressive… April Fool’s on Mom, too.

    Well done, Mother N. How the heck am I gonna top THAT?!
