What they don't know is it is trick AND treat!!!

Every time I drop a piece of candy into a bag the kids don't know I'm also dropping in a rubber cockroach.

I know it is evil but...when I picture them dumping out their candy, or their MOMS dumping out their candy I just chuckle an evil little chuckle.

Is that wrong?

If it snowed she'd go stick her hand in a snowbank and wake us up by putting them on our backs. One year my easter basket was an antique bedpan filled with chocolate.

I think I totally chuckle more when I think of the moms finding them!!!

I am a practical joker with my boys also. Got it from my dad. For April Fools this year i found a permission slip for a field trip to outer space and told them their school wanted to know if my husband and I would let them go. Two begged to go. (Oldest just looked at me...he's seen too much I guess). They wouldn't speak to me for a while when I broke the joke to them. The year before that I gave them Chore Summer Camp brochures.

Your mom sounds like my kind of lady!

one year i squirted her through the kitchen window with the little kitchen sink sprayer. the next thing I know she has thrown open the dining room sliding glass door and is spraying me with the hose on FULL. The dining room was soaked, the kitchen was soaked, i was soaked.... and she was SO proud of herself!
