You may have noticed that some of your favourite writers on Blogging Baby seem to have lost their minds today.  Well, of course, today is April 1st, also known as "April Fool's Day" -- a day which is usually marked by playing harmless practical jokes or spreading hoaxes among family and friends.  As this custom is generally practiced in many countries around the world -- not to mention, we certainly consider the Blogging Baby readers our "family and friends" -- we thought we'd have a little fun with the day today.

So, never fear --  Charlene hasn't started a fight club, nor am I working on teaching my daughter how to speak with an English accent.  Stefania, our resident foodie, would rather die than prepare the "healthful" foods in her Blogging Baby size six, and (sadly, perhaps?) Gap clothing hasn't come calling after her multiculti kids.  And as for Sarah deciding to stop taking photographs of her kids?  Trust me, that hasn't happened -- if it did, we're pretty sure it would be a sign of the apocalypse.

There are a few other items we've written that are also part of today's fun, found below.  From now on, we're through with the April Fool's Day jokes.  Thanks for being such good sports about it -- we hope you had as much fun reading our silliness as we had writing it!
