Got Them Good!

Here's how it starts:

Take 1 Dozen Raspberry filled doughnuts...

Use a straw to extract as much of the raspberry filling as you can...

Then dip in to your bottle of ketchup...

Perhaps a baby medicine syringe will work well...

Inject three good healthy squirts into the center of the doughnut...

You can't see pictures of them actually eating them, because I thought that would be a dead give away to my kids that something was fishy. But it was priceless. All five of them sitting around the table with their doughnuts, each of them starting to devour...And because the straw is really only so effective, there was enough real filling left in the doughnut to lure them in to taking that ONE giant bite of the center...! Ha-ha! Tory was the first to notice...He throws it down on the plate, and yells, "Ketchup!" Then a few minutes later Megan and Sydney look at each other and say the same thing. After Lee and I recovered from our laughter, we gave them all a REAL doughnut. (Michael and Spencer were actually sad when I took the "yucky" one away to give them their new one. They wanted to finish the first one!)

You can tell from Lee's face here that he was in on the joke, and the only doughnut he ate was actually filled with raspberry filling. Everyone else, not so much...!

By far our funniest trick ever...but now the game is on...I'm up for suggestions for NEXT year. It's gonna have to be GOOD!
