Catch UP : April

I think it is time to catch up on all the fun and not so fun things that have happened in April....Let's start from the very beginning.....

I was pregnant :) We were so very happy, I think 5 positives in 2 weeks and a little monthly friend that was, at that time unable to make an appearance, made it pretty clear. It was like an early birthday present that was taken away from us the day after my birthday.

I did have a good birthday, lots of fun with the family and some pretty cool gifts such as my new Kindle!!! Super excited. Didn't think that I would like it since books have this wonderful feeling, the smell and the sound of the pages rustling. But I guess I was a little wrong and am now addicted to my e-book.

In addition to loving this new peice of technology, I have been downloading several e-books and reading them to continue reviewing over at Doubleshot Reviews.com.

Then we fall upon the weekend after my birthday and we celebrated my father's birthday a bit early. You know hoe Easter usually likes to come around the beginning of the month, yea, well it decided to mix things up a bit and land on my father's real birthday this year. So he got to celebrate early, nothing sad about that.

And then Easter. It was fun. Evelyn was beautiful in a yellow dress that she chose herself, it reminded me of Bell's dress when she dances with Beast. Of course the food was great and the company was perfect. How very nice.

Mixed in to this time I have collected a few plants and flowers. Some from my birthday and some in sympathy. Plants always seem to make me feel nice.

Ramsey, our betta, has moved into a new retro bachlor-pad. It's pretty sweet and he seems to enjoy all the little hiding places his new home offers. Yes, that is a sofa in there.

Towards the end of the month we received a very nice surprise from Fernando's family in Mexico. There was a family freiend that went there to visit for a bit and brought back homemade mole, a basket of yummy candies and a beautiful doll for Chickadee.

See that blue container? Hidden inside is the delicious mole that we will make up something with on Cinco de Mayo.

Mmmm, candies, how I have missed you.

Do you know what happens when you suck on a sucker and then place it on a counter?

I wake in the morning to find it stuck. It is still there and I might just consider it part of the decor.

To end the month on a very good note, Chickadee and I enjoyed a coffee date with my verygood friend, Heather. She is the Chick that I review books with over at Doubleshot Reviews and she is a pretty awesome gal. How do I know this? Just cause she is and out date started at 9 am and we didn't separate till about noon-ish.

Ohh, and we have this very spring-y and nice little plant that is climbing up our bedroom windo screen. It is so nice to see when we open up the blinds. So simple, but I love it!

Well that's about it for April. Next up, tackle May.
