Random April Happenings, Part I (Elisa's Art Show)

Here are some fun things we did in the Month of April, after the Blaylock's visit and Easter had passed:

April 10

I finally got around to fixing this wall picture I found at World Market with my mom way back in February. It was just too darn orange, and orange is the color that I want the least of in my house. I put a lot more green and pink paint to cover the orangiest spots. When I was satisfied with it, I hung it up on the wall in my front room.

I took the kids to Desert Donuts, since I had previously bought a Groupon deal that got me a donut ice cream pie for half-price. I presented the coupon in store and let Elisa pick out a pie that she wanted. Then I let the boys pick out a donut of their choosing. Gabe chose a blue one and Ian chose a cereal one. The donuts were pretty good; I liked the slight crunch on the outside. But, like anything good, they were a little expensive (about $4 each).

A silly Come Follow Me Lesson activity. I don't remember what the lesson was, but the kids were amusing to me during this activity. Something about Moses and holding up his arms.

April 17

After having my jewelry armoire for about 15 years, I found this little charm in the drawer that holds my rings. I had no idea what the heck it was supposed to be, until I asked ChatGPT and it told me the charm was a Jewish symbol, called the Chai which means life/living in Hebrew. Pretty cool. I think I lost it since then. Not sure what I'd do with it anyway.

I filled Ian's bike tires up with air as well as mine. I had to practically force Ian to come on a bike ride with me. I'm not sure why he was so hard to get out the door. We rode around the neighborhood; it was perfect weather and I enjoyed riding my bike. Ian wasn't so excited, so he pooped out earlier than I would have liked. I think I overinflated my tires though; a few days later they were completely flat.

Erik, Ian and I went to Elisa's art show. We had no idea about it until Elisa told us last minute. You'd think they would send a flyer out or at least an email. It was fun seeing all of the artwork, especially Elisa's. She refused to let us take pictures of her with her artwork, but Erik convinced her to let him take just one.

We hung up the bible page that I bought from Moon's Rare Books.
