April Cliff Notes

MAD LIBS and Skylanders have officially landed at our home. 

Karson has been working on a science fair project involving the growth of rock candy. The project is a 7 day process.

  The kids have been hard at work learning piano.

 Karson has been collecting money for St. Jude.  She sacrificed her time at Plano's Spring Fling to run the collections table.  I'm very proud of her self-less heart.

 I've been planting nandinas, petunias, and my favorite 

 BEGONIAS.

 Matt and I renovated our bedroom.  It was in desperate need of some updating.  I found a beautiful comforter for next to nothing at Dillards.

When you redo a bedroom with an attached bathroom, it's also necessary to do something different in there as well.  I went from light and deep blues to reds and beiges.  It's VERY different, but I love the new look.  Our old shower curtain had been with us for 12+ years.  Can you say YUCK!  I replaced the liner many times but have never replaced the actual curtain.  I got my new curtain at Wal-Mart of all places.  It's thick and waffled--very well made.  I hope it lasts as long as my old Target one.

 Matt's contribution to the new room (j/k, he's an excellent painter as well).  We now have multi-room DVR boxes.  I actually love having two boxes.

 Our turtle is quickly outgrowing her tank.  She eats ALL THE TIME.

 It's inevitable that a bird will build a nest here YEARLY.  I love watching the mama bird and her babies "spring" up.

I purchased tickets to see Kelly Clarkson and The Fray in September.  I can hardly wait!

 Pedicures are my favorite part of warmer months.

**Okay, so Blogger has updated their format which is wonderful and frustrating all at the same time.  Hope this isn't to jumbled up for you readers.
