April Random Happenings

Here are some random fun things we did in the month of April, aside from Easter activities:

April 15

For the 3rd quarter in a row, Ian got on the principle's list at his school--straight A's!

I saw this geyser well before I pulled into the driveway. I had to turn off the sprinkling system to get it to stop. Yet another broken sprinkler head for Erik to fix!

April 16

We finally got a bigger TV! With how far away the couch is and how big of a space there is on the wall, we need a big tv there. We put the previous tv upstairs in the loft, and the loft tv Erik mounted to a stand so our guests can watch tv when they visit. Too bad we installed it just after Lisa left; she would have loved to have had this in her room. She will just have to wait until next time to use it!

I had to move these to put up the TV. Now what to do with them? I know--Goodwill!

I picked up Gabe from his bus stop and took him to Walmart for Easter clearance. Stupid store didn't have the Easter candy 50% off like its supposed to, so whatever candy I had in my cart, I put it all back. We even went back a few days later, and the candy was still not 50% off. Anyway, we stopped by World Market to find some clearance treats. It wasn't on clearance, but Gabe found these Super Mario gummies from Germany. I thought they tasted icky, but Gabe made short work of them. We also went next door to Ross, where I bought a corner trinket display shelf for the guest bathroom downstairs, finally I got rid of that ugly fake plant that was in the corner. I also bought an amethyst geode to go on the shelf for only $10.

Riding in the back seat of Grandpa's car on the way to Erik's Messiah in America performance. Ian blew gum bubbles the entire drive!

April 24 

I got a gift from the Primary president for helping out with playing the piano for the primary on Easter Sunday. They were as yummy as they look!

April 25

Erik was off work early, so we decided to go out for lunch at Sauce that is located in The Shops at Norterra. We had passed by it so many times, but we've never tried it until this day. It was good I thought. I liked the bruschetta appetizer and the pizza was good, but if we go back, I'd order something different. After eating, we went to TJMaxx for a little shopping, and I finally found the Kate Spade bag I had been searching for months! It is so much cheaper to buy nice stuff like this at TJMaxx than anywhere else. I also bought lots of home decor items, most of which were fake plants and also some pictures to hang in the guest room--there was a large space that needed to be filled next to the treadmill.

Erik and I tried out a new Indian restaurant, Haldi. It was okay. Not terrible but nothing too great. We probably won't be back.
