HAPPY APRIL!! Wow, I can't believe April's here already!! And, that means 3 things: 1. Easter!! Praise the Lord, He is risen!! 2. Steve & I are going on a mini trip to Amish country...JUST THE 2 OF US!! 3. Women of Faith Conference with the Cousins!! YAY!! Litterally a "hoppin' " April, but lots of fun!! :) My first goal is to have the house running self-sufficiently (think FLYlady) before we go to Amish country. I hate leaving a messy house, and hate even more to come home to one. Just burdens me the whole time knowing that there's a house to clean & clothes to unpack as we're coming home...
Anyways, the bulletin board is DONE!! :) And, it looks really cute, if I do say so myself. There were people wondering about me, I think, when I was painting black polka dots on the white bulletin board paper, but now that it's all finished, I've heard lots of great comments!! :) A picture will be taken & shared with you this week!! LOL
So, today, Steve surprised me by coming home around 5p.m. & saying that he called off at Block, and we gave Abbey a big surprise!! :) We bought her a Princess bike towards the end of March, and had thought we'd just give it to her for Easter (yes, we do Easter presents, almost like Christmas, but why not? We're celebrating the Savior's Ultimate Gift fulfilled, ya know...) Anyways, we'd thought about saving it for Easter, then I got to thinkin', we don't always have to wait to give her "big toys" for special occasions/holidays!! She's our kid, and we don't really spoil her, so why not give her a bike? Plus, the weather forecast for Easter is COLD again, so we thought she'd like to ride it before the weather gets cold again, then she'll be excited again after the weather warms up again, too!! LOL We might have been thinking too much about that in the first place, though...
So, all that to say, what a big girl my Abbey May is!! Her bike's a Princess bike, and it has training wheels...we had thought about a tricycle first, but at Meijer she pedals that so fast, she almost turns herself over when she turns!! LOL So, a big girl bike it was...and the price was right, we got it on sale. SHE LOVES IT!! So, it was worth it, giving it to her early...now I just have to figure out what we're actually giving her on Easter...LOL But, she'll get stuff from Mom & Dad...
Okay, I'd better go. We're going to get pizza tonight (Fox's...YUM!!), and then I need to get some laundry detergent..we're completely out! Aren't you glad I shared?!?! LOL
Love ya!!

A princess bike! How fun! You'll have to post pictures of her on it. Nothing wrong with Easter presents! It's your Easter and your child...you can do whatever you want!
I've never heard of Fox's. Hope you enjoyed it! Love ya!
There is certainly nothing wrong with giving presents even though there's not a holiday....every day should be special! I can't wait to see her bike! Pita Pocket can't wait to ride his bike...but it's so cold!
Lots of Love!
