Growing up in Texas, and never seeing snow (maybe twice and then only enough to make a snowball), we were always so excited. We would throw off our covers, put on all the clothes we owned (we didn't really have winter gear) and rush outside.
Of course, my mom would laugh hysterically at our crest-fallen faces as we saw another bright, sunny day in TX. And then: "April Fools!"
Once we were old enough not to fall for it, we began to get her back...and every April Fool's Day since, everyone tries to "get" somebody. Out of everybody, I think I'm the most conscientious. Mainly because I refuse to believe anything told to me on April 1st. (so if you have any news, save it til tomorrow)
This morning, as I got the kids ready for school, I look outside and realize my mother has had the last laugh. Somewhere out there, Mama is undoubtedly having a laugh at all the SNOW falling on April Fool's Day.

Most of my April Fools' Day memories involve snow too -- that must be the "go to" joke because I actually used that with my own kids this year too! We need to get more creative, don't we??!! :-)
