April Monthlies

Now that may's here I've looked back at my April calendar, There are a bunch of monthly holidays that I forgot to post about. I'll Post about them now!

National Lawn and Garden Month
The flowers are blooming and the lawn is...Very long...

Any way, Here's some pictures of my favorite Garden area in our yard: 

 We have a cherry tree in our front yard and under it are all sorts of pretty flowers. The daffodils and tulips are mainly the only ones in bloom right now but later this summer there will be more.

 The tree it's self has just started blooming. The bumble bees love it and when the wind blows it looks like it's snowing! I love this tree!

National Card and Letter Writing Month
I sent my pen pals a lot of letters this month - and every month!
I also sent our Easter cards to a couple friends.


Keep America Beautiful Month
When we went to the beach to fly kites we made sure not to leave any trash at the beach, and we didn't leave anything behind... Try to keep america beautiful by picking up after your self!



Straw Hat Month
I have two straw hats and I wore both of them in April. I where one of them kind of often but the other one I usually leave in the closet! Happy not any more straw hat month!



National Decorating Month

We decorated for Easter in April. Mom bought a pretty garland thing, covered in fake eggs. It's very cute. We even put a little angel bunny on top of it! 

Bugs Bunny Day

My sister and I watched a bunch of episodes of Bugs Bunny on You Tube today.I found this episode to be kind of interesting: Daffy For President   Enjoy!

Sorry!

I've not been as loyal to the holidays as I should. I'm finding as the weather gets nicer, and I'm feeling a little better, I'm not wanting to be inside on the computer. My mom's also not helping me as much as she was... unfortunately I have not done as many celebrations as I would like. Sorry.

National Dance day and Week

My sister and I danced a lot today, then around 3:30 my friend came and we did more dancing! We all take Ballet so we - naturally- did ballet. It was fun. We are making a little movie and it has a lot of ballet in it so we were working on that! we had fun. Happy Dance day!

It's also national dance week (April 20-29)

Eeyore's Birthday

Today is Eeyore's Birthday! I made him a cake! 

I think this is the first time I've ever used both a Box cake and store bought frosting together! 

I love Eeyore, he deserves a cake...and a happy birthday song! Eeyore is my favorite Pooh Bear Character, I think he's awesome! Happy Birthday Eeyore! 

Morse Code Day

For Morse Code day I wrote my Friend a letter in Morse Code. It says hardly any thing in it but the idea is cool! I think she'll enjoy deciphering it!

Babe Ruth day

So today is Babe Ruth day, here's a link on the day. 

I don't feel like writing something up on the day so I'm just going to eat a Baby Ruth! 

Though I must say I did look up the Baby Ruth candy bar and found some thing interesting!

The candy bar is thought to be named after the baseball player Babe Ruth (right?),  but it was originally named after President Grover Cleveland's first daughter  'baby' Ruth  Cleveland!

 Oh well, happy Babe Ruth day any way! 

Brussels sprouts and Cabbage Month

Last night I made Chicken salad with purple cabbage in it, and Brussels Sprouts on the side.

I think celebrating this one was rather yummy! 

 Happy Brussels sprouts and Cabbage month! 

Audubon day

Audubon is the organization working to help and make know the oil spills, and protect and find homes for endangered birds.
It's named after John James Audubon, who painted the pictures for, and wrote, the book Birds of America.

Poem in Your Pocket day

Here is the poem I'm carrying in my pocket today:

By George MacDonald
1824-1905

I said "Let me walk in the fields."

He said "Nay, walk in town."

I said "there are no flowers there."

He said "no flowers but a crown."

I said "But the skies are black;

there is nothing but noise and din."

And he wept as he sent me back-

"There is more," He said; "There is sin."

I said "But the air is thick,

 And fogs are veiling the sun."

He answered "Yet souls are sick, 

And souls in the dark undone!"

I said "I shall miss the light,

And friends will miss me, they say."

He answered 'Choose tonight

If I am to miss you or they."

I pleaded for time to be given.

He said "is it hard to decide?

It will not seem hard in heaven 

To have followed the steps of your guide."

I cast one look at the fields,

Then set my face to town;

He said "my child do you yield?

Will you leave the flowers for the crown?"

Then into his hand went mine;

And into my heart came he:

And I walk in a light divine,

The path I had feared to see. 

I took a poetry class once and we all had to memorize a poem: this is the one I chose to memorize. I really like it. 

Hug and Australian day

I ACTUALLY found an Australian to hug! She's the mother of one of the students in my ballet class. She's not full Australian but she does have some Australian in her... and that's all that matters. Yesterday was Hug a plummer day and I wasn't able to find a plummer to hug. I thought the plummer one would be easier!
Sorry for the quality of the picture. It was taken on my mom's phone.

Take our Daughters and Sons to Work day

My parents both work at home...there for I'm always at work, So my parents don't have to do much to bring their kids to work with them.
Happy Take our Daughters and Sons to Work day!

20-something service day

20-something service day is a day for people who are 20-something years old to get off there butt and do something helpful....I'm not 20-something, but my brother is! He did the dishes for us after dinner. Thank you Forest!

Confederate History Month

I Had to read the book Riffles for Watie for school. Here I wrote a small couple paragraphs on the book. Enjoy.

Nearing the end of April

The month is nearly over. I have been going through my calendar and schedule trying to find any thing I may have missed. There is a bunch of holidays that I celebrated but didn't post about. I will try to fill you in on all that. I am also trying to do as many monthly ones I can before the month comes to an end...wish me luck!

Zucchini Bread Day

We had a family over for dinner and I made Zucchini bread! I might post the recipe we use later. It's really easy, We just use Zucchini that mom canned instead of fresh Zucchini, It makes it simpler. Happy Zucchini bread day!

Movie Theater Day

This is unfortunately the closest I could get to a movie theater today....My brothers' TV! It's much bigger than the living room TV! Oh, well!

International Nose-Picking day

International Nose-picking day is one I think we'd all be happy without! Though I did celebrate it, And don't worry, the finger was washed afterwards! Happy (Or not so much happy as gross) Nose-Picking day! 

I find the cat in the background to be kinda funny

National Picnic day

I was reading some thing on National Picnic day and it said "If the weather permits..." well the weather didn't permit. It's been raining for two days strait. Though that didn't stop me from having a picnic! My sister and I had a Picnic on our living room floor! 

Happy picnic day!
