Can you believe another month has gone by? Our albums are really starting to fill up. It has been so much fun thinking back on the past month and remembering everything that we did.
Here are our April Top Tens:
“April Days”
My book is actually coming together nicely! I’m sticking with my theme of no pictures, all journaling and using the Red and Black LUSH Collection.... LOVE it! The
simplicity of it is such a nice change of pace for me:)
“10 Easter Treats”
I decided to create my April Top 10 page all about the yummy candy treats in the kids Easter baskets this year. Do your kids dump out all their treats on the floor like mine do? Some of the treats were unique to this year, while others are classics that appear year-after-year. It will be fun to look back on the contents of their baskets years from now and remember the candies and treats we love. I combined the Quite Contrary "Mary, Mary" collection with the chipboard accents and brads from the Abbey Road "Whirlybird" collection. I love that the colors from these two collections compliment each other so well!
"April No. 10"
To me - April is full of bright, fresh colors: Spring flowers, colorful Easter eggs, and yummy candy. The new "So Sophie Clever" collection just looks like Spring to me! I love that it has pinks and blues that coordinate perfectly with photos of my sons and daughters. The beautiful scalloped journaling spot was perfect - I simply covered the #3 with a #10!
“Celebrate April”
When I asked the boys what their favorite things we did in April were, their first answer was: “Your birthday”. How sweet! Then I asked what else they liked and they said “We didn’t do anything else in April”. I thought that was funny. We then brainstormed and one thing led to another and they proclaimed: “We guess we DID do a lot in April”. This conversation demonstrates why I am so glad we are doing this album. I think sometimes we are so busy “doing” that we aren’t “living” and “enjoying” life. I don’t want to forget that my dad had snowballs ready and started a snowball fight the minute we got out of the car on Easter. In April, we learned that “Batman lives here”. The boys worked together on Pinewood Derby cars and Neal had to work off a library fine $ 0.25 per chore. It was a great month!
