Don't let his cute face "fool" ya!!

I know it is past April fools day, but this year was unforgettable, and actually Ryan just finished his last "prank" last night, so I wanted to post it so we would never forget it.

April fools day is quite a day for the Dustins - for those of you who know Ryan - this is his favorite day of the year! He was born with mischief in his soul! He just loves to get people, make them "lose" their keys so they cannot leave, put plastic bugs in your bed, etc. you get the point. Anyway, this year was no exception. It was the same day my parents arrived, and after my Dad convinced Hannah that he had cut his foot with an axe and was bleeding (BBQ sauce) and that he was having chest pains, Ryan REALLY got in the spirit. He wanted me to call Danny and tell him that our friend who was over hanging some window treatments, had actually dropped the wrought-iron rod and it had busted out the window. I just couldn't do it. It is Danny's favorite, HUGE picture window that had already been cracked once...

So, Ryan set his sites on the rest of the family. That night everyone went to brush their teeth and found we couldn't get our toothpaste out as everyone had toothpicks shoved into their tube of toothpaste. Danny was the victim of the old shaving cream and feather trick. Somehow Matt escaped all of this - Ryan had actually forgotten to go in his room and "get" him. Hannah convinced my Dad that she needed surgery on her arm and elicited much sympathy from him, thus his revenge with the old bloody axe routine.

That night, Jacob went to crawl into his bed and found it was full of airsoft pellets that he had to spend time tediously picking out - yep, Ryan struck again.

Jacob sent Hannah out to get the mail and she got soaked with a squirt gun - this time Jacob - and in that mail was a fake package - it was actually an empty lego box wrapped up...Jacob had set his sights on Hannah this year.

Well, that is all I can remember (now that it is six days later!) but I wanted to print it so we would never forget April Fools Day 2008!
