Already April. Where is this year going? It looks like we may have some April showers today. Lets see whats going on. This weekend my hubby decided to take me out for our 11 year anniversary which is not until Friday but with his work schedule next weekend we wouldn't of been able to go anywhere. We went to Bravo's. Last time we went I wasn't impressed and this time I'm still not hooked on the place. I ordered the calamari it was ok but not the best I ever had. I actually sat there and peeled the fried stuff of and just ate the calamari by itself. Then I had a salad and the soup of the day was creamy asparagus it was like eating baby food. Emma didn't like it either but then again she doesn't eat baby food. She rather eat off of our plate. Then we went to the mall to find me a ring. I wasn't finding the one I really wanted. I wanted something white gold and plan and simple but the girl said they didn't really have anything like that. I did find one that matched my bracelet that he just bought me for Valentines day so I guess it worked out. My mom ordered me a mini loaf pan and gave it to me already. I am so excited and not sure what I want to make in it yet. So many different ideas are running through my head. Today I am going to try and make it to Kid to Kid our local consignment shop. They are giving 30% store credit on items that are given. I have a big bag and a basket full of clothes and shoes. I also want to look for a bow for Katies hair for her graduation. I may do flowers instead. Haven't decided yet. I like to check out other things they have in there. Sometimes you can find a good deal. Our netflix movie this weekend was Nanny McPhee Returns. The girls loved it and want to put it on their wish list. Its a cute movie. Our next movie will be Legend of the Guardians. We are wait listed for Tangled and Jackass 3. Tangled might be in their Easter basket. Its another one on their wish list. I seen a cute little skirt that I would love to get for Sara for her to wear for her birthday. She is such a girly girly and loves to be dressed up. The mom whos little girl I seen it on said she got it from Target last year. So now I am on the hunt for that.

Where to start? I'm still sick since I can't take much of anything. We woke up to water in my middle bathroom and kitchen due to a busted water heater on Friday. That was a full day there but then my mom started a new job and alot of her work will be done at home so her stuff started coming in and I helped her put everything in its place. Trying to figure out where things can be set up. That was 13 boxes of fun.

We recently watched Legion on the netflix instant watch and it was a very interesting movie. End of the world movie where God doesnt' think there is enough good to continue human kind living so he sends his angels to kill everyone. One angel works against the others to save a baby because he needed to show God there is still some good in this world. Pretty good movie but too scarey for the kids.

We also watched the movie Jackass 2.5. It was a pretty gross movie. Not sure why people think it is so funny to watch grown men take a crap. Also throwing up. Not a movie I would recommend to anyone especially those with a weak stomach.

With my mom starting a new job she has to learn the body's anatomy and I sent this anatomy arcade to her to make it fun. Maybe it will make it a little easier to learn and I will put it up on the kids account when they need to learn it.

Yesterday my mom and I went shopping for Katies Kindergarten graduation dress. Since its before easter we figured it would be easier to find one now instead of later. We went to alot of stores before finally finding alot in her size at burlington. We were able to find a Ruby Rox light pink dress for only $20. Its just like the picture except its light pink. Now we need to find shoes and a bow for her hair. Its so cute and grown up.

We stopped at Target and found these cute shoes for Sara. They were $14.99. I wish they would of had Katies size but we only found up to size 11 in the store. Online only has up to 9.

I am trying to get together little white dresses for the girls and white shirts for Sammy and I to go take some really good professional pictures at city park. I have a certain way I want it to look in my head and trying to find the girls the dresses seems to be the hardest part. Then I have to get my hair cut and I want everything done before it starts getting too hot. So many small details to go into just trying to get family pictures done. I did find Katies dress so 1 down 2 to go.

Already Monday. Katie will be going to school today but it will be hard for me to get there this week. Which is not a good thing b/c we have a book fair this week and no parents ever show up to help even if its to walk their own kid around. I have 2 sick little girls and myself to worry about. I didn't even get a packet to go over with Katie what she would like to buy. This will be one of her gifts for making all A's on her report card. Yesterday since we were resting I was able to finish reading my book.

Lost recipe for Happiness. Very good book. A plus with all of the recipes inside. I haven't tried any of them yet but the churros might be one that I do try. Its about a woman named Elena who was in a car accident when she was younger the only one who survived. The ones that she had lost come and visit her through out the book. In a good way not haunting her. More of encouragement. Shes a chef and just been fired from her job b/c an article was written about her instead of the head chef. As she is walking out of the restaurant the owner Julian is pulling up. Takes her to breakfast to talk about her becoming the head chef of a restaurant that he just purchased. She agrees and moves to Aspen. It takes a while for the restaurant to open with all the details that have to be set. During this Elena and Julian fall in love but b/c of her past she is having trouble letting him into her heart. In the end one of the good chefs gets in a bad car accident and brings up past. She finally goes to the place where the accident happen to let it go. When she comes back she is then ready to let Julian in. The book ends with a recipe for Mexican wedding cookies which I would love to try. So the read is left to think that they did get married.

We didn't feel like cooking so hubby decided to just order pizza. I was not crazy for dominos before but like the commercial kept saying they have changed. It was super easy to order. I didn't even call them. I went online to their website dominos.com . I put in our zipcode and started our order. I built the pizza how I wanted which was extra pepperoni. The deal was 2 medium 2 topping pizza's for $5.99 each. I also got chicken wings 8 for $5.99. I was impressed with the taste of the pizza not so much with the wings. They pour a whole bottle of sauce on 8 wings way too much. After I placed the order they have a little tacker to tell you wants going on with your pizza. I thought was pretty neat. Next time you order try it through their website.
