Poisson d'Avril

I know I have raved about our upstairs neighbour (voisin) several times, but I will do it again!!! This past Sunday was April Fools Day, or in France, Poisson d'Avril.  M Dougnac was kind enough to give Todd and I a write up about Easter, April Fools Day, and Palm Sunday!  He didn't want the kids to miss out on the tradition of what happens.

Traditionally, on poisson d'avril, children will cut out paper fish, and try to stick them onto the backs of their friends, without them knowing.  The boys were sent home with paper fish on Friday from school!!  This is the trick of the day!!
 As well, parent will hide chocolate fish out in the garden!  And here is where the neighbour ROCKS!  We woke up on Sunday morning to a yard full of paper fish, hung from trees, the clothing lines, etc, and lots of aluminum fish with a treat inside each one!  The kids were over the moon!!

After we returned home from church (Palm Sunday/Les Rameaux), there was a game set up for the boys. They had to see how many boats they could get out of the water using chopsticks in 1 minute!  They had a great time!
