Slices of Life

It's the first Wednesday of the month and time for April's edition of currently. This month we'll talk about what we're currently loving, adding to cart, reading, watching, and listening to.   Loving: We went on some really beautiful walks; we've had lots of rain so the rivers are nice and full and give off that great gurgling sound that I love. It's also been *almost* warm enough for flip flops (I wore them even though my toes were a bit cold and wet!). And I just LOVE that! Adding to my cart: Nothing but only because I just placed an order through Land's End.

I also bought a few spring items from Lily Putlizer that I'm waiting to come in... so I really need to not be adding anything to my cart any time soon! But we do have a few high school graduations in our extended family so...

I went to bed early and slept late this morning but I'm still feeling very tired and un-energized for some reason.  Luckily, we had no pressing plans for today and so I decided to just go with it. Evan woke up asking me to help him pack his bag for a sleepover he's having tonight so I helped him and then made breakfast for everyone while they watched The science of Disney Imagineering: Friction .       Once the movie was done they started playing and working on their geography fair projects.  The fair is next week so we're trying to finish up.  Ian's board is all done and we've packed up the Lincoln Logs and books to go with it.  He spent part of his morning reading Klondike Gold , since ...

 Happy April Fool's day! I'm very excited that it's finally April since that is when we start to get some more warm and sunny days and I am so ready for those. I even broke out my flip flops this past weekend despite the near constant rain in the forecast.  We had so many lovely Easter and spring themed posts linked up with us last week along with lots of yummy looking recipes and some lovely posts that made me want to get out and travel the world. Thank you all for the lovely of variety of subjects you share each week. You help make this link up great!

I had only made 2 cards in March for my card chain challenge group and then just yesterday I sat down and whipped up 4 more (they reverse loaded so the top 4 cards are the newest)! I have been hard at work on my Hawaii scrapbook pages though and I am officially more than 1/2 way done with our trip!     Linking up with: Crafty Wednesday,
